Setting the default page to a specific node

Wednesday 13 October 2004 2:02:55 am

Hi

I would like to set the default page of my site to a specific node (in my case node id is 153).
I guess I had to use <i>site.ini.append.php</i> and write:

[SiteSettings]
IndexPage=/content/view/sitemap/153

and in <i>override.ini.append.php</i> write

[front_page]
Source=node/view/full.tpl
MatchFile=front_page/my_frontpage.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[node]=153

Unfortunately, it seems not working at all...

Any ideas?

Hi Fabrice,

your override definition doesn't match the IndexPage setting, as you're override the "full" view but not the "sitemap" view.
You might want to change

IndexPage=/content/view/sitemap/153

to

IndexPage=/content/view/full/153

(or change the override setting to node/view/sitemap.tpl).

You should also consider to change the DefaultPage as well, see

I'm not sure what you're looking for...

Do you want to add a general breadcrumb navigation to your site?
You could add something like this to your pagelayout.tpl then:

{section name=Path loop=$module_result.path offset=2}
	{section show=$Path:item.url}
		<a href={$Path:item.url_alias|ezurl}>{$Path:item.text|shorten(50)}</a>
	{section-else}
		{$Path:item.text|shorten(50)}
	{/section}
	{delimiter}&gt;{/delimiter}
{/section}

Or is it just for your frontpage that you want to have this?
You might add something similar with $node.path or $node.path_array in your override template.

At what node you want to display : mysite/news/frontPage ?
mysite or frontPage ?
