Alter the 'home' link

[10thWay]

Hello guys,

I wonder if anyone can help me, on this site: www.littlebazaar.co.uk, I would like to alter the 'home' link so that it points to www.littlebazaar.co.uk rather than www.littlebazaar.co.uk/index.html. Is there a way of doing this?

Cheers,

[peblaco]

Go to Design Options and alter the home page link.

Thanks Peblaco, much appreciated.

One more thing you may be able to help me wih:

Towards the midlle of the left hand side menu, just under "Main Pages", there is another home button. Is there a way I can hide/remove that button from the list?

Thanks,

Matt.

If you are familiar with variables, layouts and block ifs, read on. Otherwise get assistance.

You can do this by creating a new variable "Brochure Link Hidden" (True/ False) applied to layout of brochure pages.

Then set the home page to "True" in the layout tab.

Finally find the layout "Brochure Page List" or similar and add block if around the brochure page link:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22BrochureLinkHidden%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20FALSE" >
	<actinic:variable value="Simple Brochure Page Link" name="BrochurePageLink" />
</actinic:block>

Hope this helps

Further to Alan's post you can also read instructions in the Advanced User Guide for hiding pages either of brochure or sections from sidebar menus.

Thanks guys, that's probably a bit too advanced for me. The reason I wanted to hide it is because I noticed it's still pointing to the /index page. Is there a way to change this?

Thanks Peblaco, where would I find the guide?

Hello guys, I had a look at the advance guide but I cannot see how to do this. I would like to implement the workout described above, but I would need a more in depth guide, can anybody help?

Cheers,

Matt.

Alan, would it be expensive for you to show me how to do this?

Cheers guys, I just tried but it does not work, there is no Show Page in Sidebar option displaying on the brochure page properties I'm afraid...

Basically what I'm trying to do is to get rid of all the pages pointing to www.mdomainname.whatever/index.html as it's basically creating a duplicate for the home page in my sitemap. Can anyone advise how to do that?

<a href="/.">Home</a> will provide a link to the root from any level in your site, manually change to that if you think it's an issue.

Sorry Lee, could you be more specific? I don't understand how to do that.
