Simple home page

[Paul B]

I'm just finishing up a simple home page add-on, which will allow you to select a Page node to use as a home page, with a focussed home tab.
Setting the index page route to the page URL will enable it to be a landing page with the root URL.
In addition, a couple of simple template modifications change the page title and the browser tab to the board name.

The options are very basic as it's not intended to be a replacement for a proper home page/portal add-on.

It's something I have seen requested quite a few times though, so it should suffice for those who just want to use a Page node.

Some screenshots.

Is it possible to add latest threads to this page?

With a PHP callback in the page node, yes.

Widget Framework can do this, if you're still using it.

Thanks @Steve F, I thought that may be the case but wasn't sure.

I am, but I haven't been able to figure the thing out yet. And there doesn't seem to be documentation
