How to make a index.php page with a another name in OSMAX?

[doumawis]

I do want make a 'top" page ( see headernavigation bar) and for that i need to the index.php with a another name.
Note: i do want to chance the name "top" in the headernavigationbar in "HOME" and link this to the new homepage.

I don't know yet also how to link this homepage with the new to make headernavigation bar HOME (link)

Perhaps it possible to build up a homepage by first define a new home.php in OSMAX and copy and paste the content of the index.php on it=> i give a possible solution?

Still remains the question how to make a link to the new homepage?

actually if you look in /includes/configure.php on line 14 you will see a define statement which says:

define('HTTP_SERVER', '');

change this to the url of your home page (non-osc homepage) and the "Top" link will go there.

The "Catalog" link is actually built from the combined define statement in line 14 above and the define statement on line 21. It concantonates the two into a single URL

line 21 is as follows:

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '');

So if your domain is http://www.widgets.com and your store is at http://www.widgets.com/catalog then your define statements would appear as follows:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.widgets.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.widgets.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
  define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?
  define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'widgets.com');
  define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'widgets.com');
  define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog');
  define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/catalog');

This setup would make the top link go to http://www.widgets.com and the catalog link go to http://www.widgets.com/catalog

Thanks!
i will study this and the whole idea is to use the index.php as catalog page and add a home page ( now it is the task to fill the homepage with some boxes)

I have made also a another easy solution for the "homepage/catalogpage "problem:

http://www.janzerospec.com/catalog/index.php

So i will look at it again

NOTE
At the moment i am really stuck ( dead-end)with the making of my oscommerce shop, because i cannot install a shipping or paymentmodule
( there is nothing coming on the homepage ??)
Well i you want you can make a try in the adminstration ?( please go ahead and look around there)
