XF 1.1 Create content homepage

[ForexTalk]

Hello,

I installed XF on example.com/forum/.

How can I create a content homepage just as at xenforo.com? Do I need to install any addition platform.

At the moment, my homepage example.com is just an index page with directory.

Thank you.

Use a page node and set it as your landing page using .htaccess and an index.html/php redirect.

I know how to create a page node. Can you please guide me how to set up the redirect?

Thank you very much.

When I had it set up I had a home.php file in the root with a 301 redirect to the page node.

<?php
header('Location: http://cliptheapex.com/community/pages/home', true, 301);

And in the root .htaccess I had this:

DirectoryIndex home.php
