Title: index page setup
Post by: llegrand on December 17, 2013, 04:06:55 PM

In a conversation with another Abantecart user a question arose that exceed my knowledge level to execute  - so all you code mavens how can we do this?

Facts:  abantecart files are all setup under subdirectory /store
Domain redirect is currently set from maindomain.com to maindomain.com/store 
And all works well.

How can one place the index page under the maindomain.com  and leave all the files within /store?

Objective is to have customer type in maindomain.com  and arrive at the Home page of the cart rather than an additional splash page or see the url change to maindomain.com/store.

Thanks
Lee
