Making a CMS page the homepage

[aryamanmandhana]

Hi,

On my store currently, there is a homepage, the dynamic homepage provided by PrestaShop and a bunch of static CMS pages that I have created. 

I want to remove the current dynamic homepage and make one of the static CMS pages the new homepage. How can I do this such that:

 

1. ../ opens to the CMS page and not the home page

2. "home" link in the breadcrumbs is now the CMS page (without having to manually do this).

I basically want to change the home page for the entire system. Solution to either would be highly appreciated.

Here is what I have tried:

index.php file in the root folder I tried a simple PHP redirect
 

header("Location:URL")
exit;

but without any success. The error shown is "webpage has a redirect loop".

Thanks

Hello,

 

Need a simple solution for prestashop 1.7.x (without hacking core file).

 

There is probably something to put in the index.tpl file to load a specific CMS page content, but I'm new to prestashop and can't find what is the right syntax.

 

Thanks
