I believe what you want is to remove the categories that are displayed on the store splash page, right? If so then you will need to edit a core php script located in your private_dir/khxc/apps/{app}/CCP/CCP.php in the Function: splash, look for this code:

// +--
// | Display the categories listing for the splash page.
// +--

$this->exec_namespace(array('app'       => $this->app,
                            'namespace' => 'catlist',
                            'type'      => '*',
                            'params'    => array()));

and edit it like this:

// +--
// | Display the categories listing for the splash page.
// +--

//$this->exec_namespace(array('app'       => $this->app,
  //                          'namespace' => 'catlist',
    //                        'type'      => '*',
      //                      'params'    => array()));

This will comment out the part of the code that pulls the categories that are set to be displayed in the menu leaving you just the items set to be displayed on the splash page. If you want to see what I mean then look at my site and click on the store link.
You should always make a backup of the files in case something goes wrong so you can go back to a working code, and this edit will be subject to be over written with a future update.

It's in CCP.php which resides in the {private}/apps/ccp0/CCP directory.  As John points out that is a file subject to change with an update.

That usually indicates either a typo, commenting out too much or not commenting out enough.  Double check what you did and where you did it in the code.  Removing the block John posted by commenting it out should not have caused any errors.

You may find it easier/clearer to use a block comment to remove that code .... like this:

/*
$this->exec_namespace(array('app'       => $this->app,
                            'namespace' => 'catlist',
                            'type'      => '*',
                            'params'    => array()));
*/

In admin under Home > ClickCartPro (GBU) > Application: Profile and Namespaces > Application Profile try changing the "Default Namespace for Application" field to "Online Store - splash" and see if it gets you the results you are looking for.

Err, uhh, that's the way the on-line store landing page is designed Eddie   You may be able to accomplish what you're trying to do wrt the graphic at the top by using a call to the splash namespace in the splash web page which is what you are using to display that graphic I'm guessing.  However, I suspect that doing that will also result in the breadcrumbs and the page title bar.

Perhaps if you dropped the folks who did those sites a note they'd be willing to share what they did.  I don't know what they've done to achieve what they have Eddie.

Sorry I wasn't very helpful on this one Eddie.  If you do find out what they did we could all benefit by knowing I'm sure.

Thanks for chiming in sppars!

Hi Sppars,

I have followed your advice to the letter again this morning, but the only change is that all the images and descriptions in 'Featured Items' and 'All Products' have disappeared - I suspect that I am not placing the image link in the script correctly.  Here is a copy of what I have done.

Regards,


Eddie

Hi Sppars,

That's alomst done the job accept there is an orange bar directly underneath the banner with black text saying viperstripes.  Is there anyway of getting rid of this or possibly changing is to match the Home splash where the bar is black and the text is orange?

I know it seems picky but with the orange title bar directly under the banner makes it look to dominant.

You have been a massive help - thank you very much - I would most definately not have been able to do this without your help.

Eddie

Hi Eddie,

Site looks nice!  I personally think it would be more navigational friendly if you were to leave the top menu in.  However, to remove it, find and update "Store Header Menu" in manage xhtml includes to:

<?php 

$app           = $this->globals('khxc_display.app');
$ns            = $this->globals('khxc.namespace');

$link_home     = $this->link_namespace($app,'splash',array());
$link_search   = $this->link_namespace($app,'prodsearch',array());
$link_cart     = $this->link_namespace($app,'viewcart',array());
$link_checkout = $this->link_namespace($app,'checkout',array());

?>

<?php if ($ns != 'splash') { ?>

<div class="khxc_storelink">

<p><strong>Menu</strong>: 

<a href="<?php print $link_home; ?>" title="Store Home">Store Home</a> | 
<a href="<?php print $link_search; ?>" title="Advanced Search">Advanced Search</a> | 
<a href="<?php print $link_cart; ?>" title="Shopping Cart">Shopping Cart</a> | 
<a href="<?php print $link_checkout; ?>" title="Checkout">Checkout</a>

</p>

</div>

<?php } ?>
