Listing products on homepage

[snigelkott]

Hi all, my first thread here on whmcs forum!

 

Anyways... Im doing this school assignment where Im writing a template / theme for whmcs and I cant seem to figure out how to get the products to show on homepage.tpl

Is there any way to make this work? I mean, as a customer this is the first thing I want to see when visiting a hosting company´s page, isnt it?

 

I´ve tried to the foreach loop in product.tpl, even include cart.php and product.tpl in to homepage.tpl without any success... This is probably a simple thing, but if you could point me in the right direction I would be more than happy

You are saying you want to customize a home page?

 

 

You could make a index.html make .htacess rules so it defaults to index.html not index.php

 

<?php

 

define("CLIENTAREA",true);

 

require("dbconnect.php");

require("includes/functions.php");

require("includes/clientareafunctions.php");

 

$pagetitle = '***********';

 

initialiseClientArea($pagetitle,$pageicon,$breadcrumbnav);

 

if ($_SESSION['uid']) {

# User is Logged In - put any code you like here

}

 

# To assign variables in Smarty use the following syntax.

# This can then be used as {$variablename} in the template

//$smartyvalues["variablename"] = $value;

 

# Define the template filename to be used without the .tpl extension

 

$templatefile = "home";

 

outputClientArea($templatefile);

 

?>

 

Then in your theme dir make a home.tpl file where you can make a homepage other than trying to use whmcs as a front end. Link to an inner page of your products.

 

You could then look through the documentation on how to do all the fun stuff. This way you dont have to try and edit up existing tpl files besides styling them.
