How to change website HOME page ?

akumbhare

Hi,

In my nodeBB site, I want to show "General Discussion" category as a home page.
Meaning "/category/2/general-discussion" should be my home page.
When User visit my site it shows "topics" on "General Discussion" as Homepage.
Where and What type of changes I have to make in my theme or in code?

Is there any plugin which help me out from this?

So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!

There should probably be a 'Custom' option in ACP=>General=>Homepage.

I know that plugins can add their own pages to this dropdown, although we don't right now have the capability to define a custom page....

@julian I'm experimenting with adding that in now.

Got this working.

Noticed a problem though. The Breadcrumb 'Home' always points to the root, when it should always point to the 'categories', IMO.

@agarcia17 I merged his changes into master, it will be available in the next release.

@agarcia17 I changed default operation for the index route controller ('/') to 'redirect' when no plugin hook is detected. Then in the admin template, I just populated the drop down with all the Category slugs.

I also added a 'Custom' text input where you can type in any address.

Oh, and many thanks to @baris for correcting all my javascript newbie mistakes.

@baris @yariplus thanks!

@baris I noticed that when you refresh home page, the home page address is converted into - https://community.nodebb.org/category/2/general-discussion (example)

Is it possible to make the home page has always had an address https://community.nodebb.org?
