XF 1.5 Home Page creation troubles

[roro1506_HD]

Hello, I'm having some troubles creating a home page for my forum. I've searched the last week without any answer that could help me.

I know how to make a custom page (theforum.com/forums/pages/mypage/), But there is still a wrapper. I'm trying to have the page with Header and Footer only.

I will use some nginx url rewrite to make the page appear as the main page.

Thanks in advance,

I'm not sure what elements you want to remove but you may be able to target the page using the node ID and remove elements either by editing the template or hiding using CSS.

I will use some nginx url rewrite to make the page appear as the main page.

This add-on will do that: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/cta-home-page.5029/

What I meant by use some nginx rewrite to make the page appear as the main page, was use nginx to rewrite http://myforum.com/forums/pages/thepage/ to http://myforum.com/

You don't need rewrite rules - just set the Index Page Route in the options to the page URL.

The add-on enables a focused home tab, which otherwise won't be possible.

Woops, I forgot to mension that my forum is in http://myforum.com/forums/ and not in http://myforum.com/

 

[Paul B]

Ah yes, in that case you will need rules.

However, if you never intend to install anything in the domain root, you could consider moving the XF installation there.

I think I'll do that. But is there any ways to change the path of a page ? for example to get myforum.com/help pointing to myforum.com/pages/help ?

 

[Paul B]

It's possible but why would you want to change the default help route to a page?

Why not just create a custom help page, or just use a page?

 

[roro1506_HD]

It is not really for a help page, but for some utils pages etc. It could be really useful to have myforums.com/games instead of myforums.com/pages/games

 

[Paul B]

You can use the Route Filter function for that.

Thanks a lot, but is there any way to remove the "Share this page" at the end of the page ?
