Hi all,

How can i make it so that my first page(index file) become a static page. I tryed leaving de uri empty but this doenst work.
Is there an other trick to accomplish this?

Grtz,

Some options are:

- .htaccess mod_rewrite
rewrite your domain root to the pages URI

- PHP redirect
check if there is a segment_1, if not redirect to your pages URI

The latter will of course show the Pages URI in your browser’s location field.

I tried the following code and that doesn’t work:

{if segment_1 == ""}
{embed="your/page/uri"}
{if:else}
...
{/if}

hello EE support?

Anybody alive? do you guys have a solid solution for this? Or is it just not possible?

Greetz,

Uh, you do realize it’s a holiday here in the States?

well i didn’t know and i asked this question a few days ago…i’am just a bit disapointed no EE-staff awnserd until now. Normally they always reply good or bad 😊

Grtz,

A page is just a weblog entry with a special URL and a pre-defined template. You can still use url_title and entry_id parameters to force that to display on the home-page.  But no, there’s no checkbox “use this page as homepage” or any such thing, and when using those parameters it won’t be forced to use the pre-defined template, so you’d want to style your home-page accordingly.  That would also, of course, make the home-page non-dynamic so you’d need to make sure you use other templates for things like category pages, etc.

Hope that helps. =)

right i could do something with that.. i’am just looking for a maximum of usability for my client.
thanks for the very fast awnser!
