A greeting may be included in the product listing area of the page when the catalog is first opened.
The content for this greeting is from the first.html file. An example first.html file is included with AShop Deluxe new installation packages. Content between the <!-- AShopstart --> <!-- AShopend --> HTML web page comments appears in the product listing area of the catalog when it is first opened. The content can be plain text or HTML.
This method works in the pages generated by catalogue.php and also in custom web pages where the product listing area is included as a separate object. If the first.html file is removed or renamed, the top category of products appears in the product listing area when the catalog page is first opened.
