Is there a way to customize default.aspx page, i.e. adding an imageslider or something else, and be assured that upgrading the system my customization will still be there after updates?
I'm a K-newbie so please be patient if my question appear stoopid... probably it is!
Is there somewhere a good practice manual for customization?
thx u all

The content of the default custom page is inserted via the following code in Default.aspx<user: Page ID="UC_Page" runat="server" PageName="default" EnableViewState="False" />

i.e. any user content defined with a PageName of "default", will be displayed on the home page.

If you want to move that further down, then move it after the "Various highlighted products and info" div. You probably wouldn't want to add it to template.master as then it would appear on EVERY page!

To add custom content to a category page, change the Category.aspx, likewise for a product change the Product.aspx. You could create a custom page called "category" and use that in your category page i.e.
<user: Page ID="UC_Page" runat="server" PageName="category" EnableViewState="False" />


The above a simple way of adding this custom content, it will appear close to the bottom, but possibly not directly above the footer, as you might get "Recently viewed" product info etc right at the bottom.
