index and landing pages - different layouts

[Guest traci]

I would like to create a site like this one http://pompelmo.co.uk/shop/. The index page has three columns and all the landing pages have a two column layout.

How do you go about doing that?

Thanks

There is a free mod at cubecartforums.org called Unique Home Page.

ACK! where did cubecartforums.org go ?!?! hopefully they will be back soon! if not can anyone post the tut here ? and is it the same process "exactly" as it was in V3? oh and one more thing.. how can i integrate the date onto the template ...

[Guest]

http://cubecartforums.org is still there

sooooo if i replace

$body = new XTemplate ("global".CC_DS."index.tpl");

with 

	

if(isset($_GET['act'])) {

		$body = new XTemplate ("global".CC_DS."index.tpl");

	} else {

		$body = new XTemplate ("global".CC_DS."home.tpl");

	}

it just defaults to the else statement and shows home.tpl no matter what ... what do i need to do to get this to switch between the two to have a unique home page template...

any suggestions?

Figured this out for CC4:

if(isset($_GET['_a'])) {

	$body = new XTemplate ("global".CC_DS."index.tpl");

} else {

	$body = new XTemplate ("global".CC_DS."home.tpl");

		

}

I am definitely losing my mind... I have been over this thread and the cubecartforums.org and can't find these lines that everyone else seems to have! My root index.php page is below. I would like to have a different homepage but it seems almost impossible... Somebody help me please??? I think I've had too much code on the brain...

$debugStart = microtime();



if ($_GET['_a'] == 'search') {

	# Do nothing

} else {

	preg_match('#([a-z]{1,4})_([0-9]+)\.?([a-z]+)?$#i', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], $matches);

	switch($matches[1]) {

		case 'c':

		case 'cat':

			$_GET['_a'] = 'viewCat';

			$_GET['catId'] = $matches[2];

			break;

		case 'i':

		case 'info':

			$_GET['_a'] = 'viewDoc';

			$_GET['docId'] = $matches[2];

			break;

		case 'p':

		case 'prod':

			$_GET['_a'] = 'viewProd';

			$_GET['productId'] = $matches[2];

			break;

		case 't':

		case 'taf':

		case 'tell':

			$_GET['_a'] = 'tellafriend';

			$_GET['productId'] = $matches[2];

			break;

	}

}



require_once 'ini.inc.php';



## If global.inc.php doesn't exist, the store probably needs to be installed

if (!file_exists('includes'.CC_DS.'global.inc.php')) {

	header('Location: setup/index.php');

	exit;

}

require_once 'includes'.CC_DS.'global.inc.php';



## If it does exist, then check that the install worked, and that the admin file exists

if (!$glob['installed'] || !isset($glob['adminFile'])) {

	# Nope, lets do the install

	header('Location: setup/index.php');

	exit;

}



## Let's load the encoded script, based on what encoders are available

if ($glob['encoder'] == 'zend') {

	## Zend Optimizer

	require_once 'index_enc_zend.php';

} else {

	## IonCube Loader

	require_once 'index_enc_ion.php';

}

?>

includes/global/index.inc.php is the file you're looking for.
