How to redirect from Home page to different URL

[Janeric]

Hi,

 

I can't figure out how can I redirect  my home page to different URL. I have found tutorials how to redirect to product or catagory page but these doesn't work in my case.

 

For example:

 

When someone goes to myprestashop.com they will be redirected to myprestashop.com/differentpage

 

Sorry, if it is very simple, I'm new to prestashop and ecommerce.

you can do that in following Home Page controller file

 

/controllers/front/IndexController.php

 

or (recommended)

 

/override/controllers/front/IndexController.php

 

You can add redirect into override method init().

 I have tried

 

class IndexController extends IndexControllerCore

{

 

public function initContent()

{

Tools::redirect('autoparts/');

 

}

}

 

but when I go to my page, instead myprestashop.com/autoparts, it directs me to myprestashop.com/index.php?controller=autoparts/. I can't figure out how to lose the "index.php?controller=" part from the URL.

The URL you passed to Tools::redirect() is incorrectly. You need to get the correct URL and then pass the correct URL to that method call.
