how to create custom home site or pages in general???

Posted:05 Jun 2008 (20:33 UTC)
Does anyone know how to create a custom home page like an introductory page? I have tried the bitweaver home site tutorial found here:

http://www.bitweaver.org/wiki/Home+Page+Tutorial

but it is an old tutorial and the custom home feature simply does not work. The code does not even match because the code they provide deals with tikipackages not bitpackages.

Please help.

Thank you

There are a few ways to create custom home pages. The easiest is you can set a package, like blogs to be your home page. The second easiest is to set a custom url as the home page path. You can set both these in the Admin panel: Kernel > Kernel Settings > Homepage Settings.

A note on that first option, there is a SiteHome package that is designed just for the purpose of creating a complex custom home page, that is not based on any one content type. It is an open container that allows you to make layout assignments specific for the homepage. As an example, these sites use SiteHome for their homepage content: http://workinglife.org http://onnyturf.com
