Was this information Helpful?

Hello, Im new to ubercart but I am slowly picking things up. I have a question about the main page design. Id like to just have 3 custom blocks in the "content" region of the main page, one for "Welcome", one for "Whats Hot", and one for "Daily Specials". I would like the "Welcome" and "Whats Hot" to only be visible on the main page, and the "Daily Special" on the bottom of every page.

How do I do this? As of right now I cant get the products off the main page. I dont really mind if the categories were listed in grid view, but I dont want any actual product blocks on the main page.

My left sidebar has the login, categories, top sellers, and cart. I just want some easy design freedom from these three blocks for the first page of my store, not just a direct listing of products posts.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

SR

Hi. You can easily exclude the posts from the front page if you want. I dont like this look as well, and I am also SLOWLY learning the ubercart ways, but I think that this module is very good.

I have not used drupal for a very long time so sorry i havent answere everything

Blocks

On your blocks page you can select one of the following:

Show block on specific pages:

Show on every page except the listed pages.
Show on only the listed pages.
Show if the following PHP code returns TRUE (PHP-mode, experts only).

If you desire to only show on the home page, select the 2nd choice. Then use <front>

Use any of the below if the first choice is checked.

admin
admin/*
search
search/*

There are other values that can be used along with some PHP. Check this site and Drupal for more suggestions.

Re: Main Page Design

How did you creat the "Daily Specials" and "Whats Hot" blocks? Did you use views or there is a module for this?
Thanks.
