Category page as homepage

[DKosev]

Hello,

 

I'm with PrestaShop™ 1.6.0.14 version.

The thing that I'm asking is:

 

How I can make a category page as homepage...

I made it to this command:

 

Tools::redirect('index.php?id_category=3&controller=category');

In the IndexController.php

 

But this command, make a redirrect and it is visible in the link...

How can I make this redirrect but not visible for the user?

 

Do I need to mask the url somehow or there is another way?

 

Regards!

Hello,

 

Thank you for your reply!

I'm not sure due to DNS loadings.. but when I load the website index it's still change the link to the redirrected page.

In my case.. when I enter test.domain.bg - it loading test.domain.bg/3-category-page

So the effect is the same as the:

Tools::redirect('index.php?id_category=3&controller=category');

 

Do you know how I can mask that url, not to change..

Thanks, still works in 1.6.1.4

 

Make sure to empty cache and refresh the browser properly if it doesn't seem to work.
