Ahhh.
I looked at AMS and the resource product description is not clear to me what it is and what it does.
Hi does it work?

Does it utilize the XF feature content tagging system?
Can a regular forum thread or article be elevated to homepage post similar to the default XF feature content tagging system?
Are the comments or replies by the users from the homepage article the same as forum thread replies?
My goal is to not use proprietary software from the XF core technologies that can become obsolete. I currently use theme houses WordPress bridge and cannot upgrade to XF 2.3. That shall never happen again.
I like the XF default widgets. Wish they could do just a tiny little bit more to avoid risking the add-on fork of future unforeseen problems.

Yes
With widgets
AMS Comments are different than threads
Well I guess AMS is not for your but AMS is awesome.

Yes. I saw that.There is this.
Wp vs. xf ?
XF is faster better software.
I am moving all of my wp content into XF.
One less software to maintain.
Articles and the xf editor are 95% as useful as WP.
Just need to build a “home page” that has the WP typical magazine appeal.
The OP approach is solid as is. I just want to have two blocks and have flexibility to display various XF items in one or the other quickly.
AMS is indeed awesome. I actually have a license and tested it.Well I guess AMS is not for your but AMS is awesome.
The separate comments was the deal breaker for me.

You can turn off comments and just have discussions about an article FYI
Why would it be? It basically uses the built in page system and optional widgets.

I am currently building a "home page" and have tried various add-ons to get it how I like it.
Now I am going with this threads native XF solution plus one single add-on.
The @BassMan Enhanced Search Forum Widget did wonders to have a home page that points to content elsewhere in your forum AND shares commentary from the homepage with the commentary in the actual article.
If this add-on one day in the future becomes unsupportive one won't be stuck and can simply switch to yet another home page.
I am currently in that position because I hedged my bets into a wordpress-xenforo marriage. That Themehouse WP-bridge add-on is no longer supportive, expensive, complex and keeps me stuck in XF2.2 while any day now 2.4 drops.

I've been using this for a while but it has one problem.
When I go to my home page, it defaults to a home page where it looks lke I'm logged out. If I hit refresh it shows me as Logged In.
This there something in the HTML I'm missing that allows the home page to retain the state of being logged in every time?

Its just a XF page. There's nothing that does anything regarding being logged in.
My guess is that you're logging into the forums at say https://www.yourdomain.com but then you have the portal at https://yourdomain.com (and hence no cookie is set for the non-www domain). That shouldn't be happening if you've got the routing set right (or if you forward www to the non-www version).

Thanks for the help. That wasn't the problem, but I appreciate the suggestion.
It turns out that when I checked my custom code, I had forgotten to add this to the top:
Code:
<xf:h1 hidden="true" />That seems to have solved the issue.
hello,
im trying to use the subnav for this custom page, but so it only shows on that page....
i.e. main page, main nav needs the dropdown menu hidden...
ive tried about 20 versions of:
[data-nav-id="home"] .p-navEl-splitTrigger:after{
display:none!important;
content:none!important;
}
cant seem to figure out what im doing wrong...
regards
