Title: configuring 'Home' page in TP to not show posts.
Post by: OzButcher on September 27, 2006, 03:17:58 PM
I got TP running and when I click on "Home" it shows my main intro article + recent posts underneath it.

I don't want the "Home" page to show recent posts, I would prefer they are only visible when "Forums" is selected. Is this possible?

Go to

Admin > TinyPortal > Settings > Front Page

and set what you want to appear on the front page.

You have the following options:

Only forum
Both forum and articles - sorted on date
Only articles
Single page
Front page Blocks
Go directly to forum index

I had a look... I have:

Admin > TinyPortal > Settings > General Settings.

but I can't seem to find the Settings > Front page option?

Looks like the Helios theme doesn't have that option included.

I have a couple of ideas. First, you can go to the theme section here to see if someone can help you figure it out. (I don't know much about themes, but others here know a whole lot.) :)

Or you can change the theme to the default theme temporarily and you'll see the Front Page option. Make the changes you want and then switch it back. I'm pretty sure that'll work.

When in doubt, switch to the default theme. ;D
