Resolving the +- icon issue is as simple as creating an images folder in the root and placing those images in that folder.]]> Mon, 28 Feb 2011 09:55:13 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/index-html_topic4334_post16929.html#16929 <![CDATA[index.html : Thanks for the input.

Thanks for the input. I was able to do the mod, the only problem I had was getting the + sign from the categories navigation and the star graphics from reviews show up on the home page. I copied the "catalog" folder and put it in the root directory to solve this issue.

The rest went pretty well, it can be a bit tedious if you don't automatically re-configure links, just takes a bit of time.

My biggest cause of confusion was whether or not the page would display as www.domain.com or ww.domain.com/default.asp, thanks for clearing that up for me Greg!]]> Mon, 28 Feb 2011 01:00:10 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/index-html_topic4334_post16924.html#16924 <![CDATA[index.html : SND uses a totally custom dynamic...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/index-html_topic4334_post16886.html#16886 Author: Greg Dinger

SND uses a totally custom dynamic page, so that may not be the best example.  
 
A better example would be www.captainjacksalaska.com which uses the stock home page, albeit still with a few modifications.  After following the above procedure to move home.asp to the root, we then renamed that file to default.asp so that it appears as a root page and does not need to be referenced as home.asp.
 
Of course, in IIS you can actually cause home.asp to be treated like index or default - as a root document - but I dont see a reason to do that when renaming the file is so easy.

Thanks Greg, I'm still a little confused though. Would doing the above procedure display the page as www.petfoodsubscriptions.com or www.petfoodsubscriptions.com/home.asp?

For instance, if I go to this site http://www.sndkids.com/ the url displays as sndkids.com, is that because the above procedure was done or because it's a completely static page? Thanks for any clarification.]]> Wed, 23 Feb 2011 19:10:09 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/index-html_topic4334_post16885.html#16885 <![CDATA[index.html : Dan- we perform that procedure...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/index-html_topic4334_post16884.html#16884 Author: Greg Dinger

Dan - we perform that procedure in an hour or two, and normally rename that moved copy of home.asp to index.asp or default.asp.  You cannot rename a .asp to .html as the database functionality of the page will then fail.]]> Wed, 23 Feb 2011 17:26:15 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/index-html_topic4334_post16884.html#16884 <![CDATA[index.html : The following WIKI article has...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/index-html_topic4334_post16882.html#16882 Author: ProductCart

The following WIKI article has some guidelines, but keep in mind that it is especially "tricky"to do in v4... and we cannot offer further assistance with this task if you get stuck.

Hello,

1st off I just want to say how great this software is, I love it, it's been a real great experience, I've used a bunch of carts in the past and worked @ ProStores for awhile and this software blows the rest out of the water!

I have a quick question that may have been beaten to death a bit, but I can't find a clear answer.

I don't see the need to move anything to the root, but I would like to make the home page static (index.html) so people and search engines land on www.petfoodsubscriptions.com as opposed to http://www.petfoodsubscriptions.com/store/pc/home.asp.

Is there a way to simply clone home.asp and rename it index.html? I've searched a bunch of ProductCart sites and noticed many do not re-direct to home.asp, but just an index page that is an exact clone of the default.asp page.

I could manually change all the paths I suppose, but the home page will be updated frequently and changing all the paths each time would be real time consuming. I wonder if there's a quick solution anyone knows of? Thanks for any input the site has gone live :)
