Single Entry page as my Index

    My client wants to have a splash page, of sorts, that has a lot of “Welcome” text on the index page. He wants to be able to access it and edit it himself, so the best way is for it to be a blog entry, which can be called into a field on my index page.

    Except I don’t know how to do that. I can figure out single entry pages okay, but there’s a URL hierarchical structure that doesn’t seem to lend itself to be adapted into an index page.

    Currently I am using a Global Variable, but that’s clumsy and not easily editable by my client, as the HTML is embedded.

    Anybody have any suggestions?

    use the pages module to give an entry the URI “/”

    After some fiddling around, this worked. Thanks!

    Otherwise you can of course also hardcode the entry_id in the exp:weblog:entries-tag.
