How do I change index page?Index page = http://archersrest.myfreeforum.org/index.php?component=indexpageInstead of having latest articles portal I want to add a general welcome blog, a couple of pics and some text, the rest of the page to be left as it is. Can anyone advise? I have used search and can not find a straight answer to the question. |

When i did mine i had access to some files that were not on general release shall we say.
I,m not sure if this is possible but if it is you would need to look at the portal templates |

You should be able to use the BLANK component, and use:
[OPTIONS] indexpage=MYPAGE [MYPAGE] component=BLANK name=MYPAGE |

You mean the cms_blank.tpl ?
e.g.
Do I just add html to that ? If yes than this
needs popping into the control pannel ? |

As all this does appear on the www index page, it is actually never going to mess up your main forum. So you can try things out incrementally and remove them and ask about them if they don't do as expected.
Developing custom pages with the portal is still in its infancy, so people doing it are having to break new ground, so not many people have the experience to post instructions. Even I have not done much more than put the facilities in place to be used. |

Well maybe at some point there can be a bit of a "Wizard" to help set it all up. | ||||||
