Could it be : public/index.html? – Pacifically

yes it can be: public/index.html or it can be any other static page. – Denizen

try using it spree_static_content – Intosh

Really better idea , @anonymousxxx. Probably a good answer too :) – Pacifically

Answer 1

One easy solution is : in your public directory you place the static index.html . Then in your routes.rb :

mount Spree::Core::Engine, :at => '/store'

with the idea to point a link from your index.html to yoursite.com/store .

do you have any idea about dynamic page also that can be placed at root path. – Denizen

Absolutely , the pattern is the same . You have a store route , which points your Spree engine mount point . Your Rials generated (dynamical) content might be a resource , which have index pointing to root of your app . Something like : root :to => 'your_resource#index' at the bottom of your routes.rb. Assuming that in your index template there is a link to store. – Pacifically

i have sessions controller : [class SessionsController < ApplicationController def home end end ] i want sessions/home at root page... i mention in routes : [root :to => 'sessions#home'],but its no working – Denizen

Why demolish the default rails behaviour? The spree::homecontroller#index action will render the spree/home/index.html.erb template file with or without layout without problem, just place the file there and it will render. It makes no sense to place a view inside the public folder when it doesn't have to be there. Bad answer in my opninion – Footstep
