XF 2.2 non forum style landing page

[hdrcweb]

Hi
I'd like to have a default landing page in my forum, like a shop front, currently we have a post (it's not a default landing page just a nav link) that introduces the club to people but it has the usual post clutter such as the author name and watch menus, I'd like it to be a full width page, is there any way of doing this and also is there a way to make a post the default landing page?

Thanks

You can set any page as you homepage
/admin.php?options/groups/basicBoard/

You can create a page (node page) like here https://xenforo.com/community/pages/example-page/ and set it as homepage.
You can fill out this page using the automatic template provided for this node.

Or using an add-on like this one from the great @BassMan

thanks, I have tried that but all it seems to do is change the url on the club logo to the post, the default page is still the same: https://new.hdrcgb.org/

filling in this field should automatically create the Home tab. Is that the case ?

no home button, you can see here https://new.hdrcgb.org/
TBH I don't want a home button, I just want the default page to be a post or node (like you suggested), when someone first visits the site the post loads, I could use a htaccess redirect but that's a bit messy.

So... edit this setting accordingly

Or pages/nodepagetest/ as you created a node page
