History: Custom Home

            !!Custom Home Page
By default, TikiWiki uses the wiki page named __HomePage__ as your site's home page. A default HomePage is created automatically during installation. You can change your home page by using one of these methods:
*To select a different TikiWiki feature to use as the home page (such as the forum or an image gallery), select the feature in the __Home Page__ field of the ((General Admin))->Navigation tab.
*To use a different URL as the home page, enable the __Use URL Index__ option on the ((General Admin))->Navigation tab and include the complete URL (Use different URL as homepage).
*Use the {ALINK(aname=Custom_Home_Page_Template)}custom home page template{ALINK}
*To have a home page assigned for each / by group enable __Use group homepages__. Check ((Groups|Group Home Page)) for details.


!!!-Custom Home Page Template
''Note: Removed from Tiki 14''
TikiWiki includes a custom home page template (tiki-custom_home.tpl) that can be used as the the home page. To enable this feature:
#On the ((Admin Features)) page, enable the __Custom Home__ option.
#On the ((General Admin)) page, select __Custom Home__ as the Home Page.
#Edit the tiki-custom_home.tpl, as necessary. You can include XHTML or SMARTY coding. See (Edit Template) for more information.


If you want to use a WYSIWYG editor to create your CustomHome, then temporarily rename tiki-custom_home.tpl to tiki-custom_home.html, open it in Dreamweaver or a similar editor, make your changes, and then rename it back to tiki-custom_home.tpl. (You can even modify Dreamweaver to accept TPL files as HTML files. See its documentation for details.)

!!! Group Homes
Similarly, you can set up group home pages, where upon login, users are sent to the home page of their group. If they are a member of several groups, the default group is chosen. Please see ((Groups))
