Hi Alex,

This is a nice question for tilqicom who did something similar not to long ago. I'm sure he'll reply any time soon.

Good luck

It will require some hacking. Let's wait what tilqicom has to say :)

well quite not.. my homepage wasnt that 'stable' (: it had 3 columns with containers filled with post list widgets gathering&displaying posts from other 10 some blogs..

Actually it was a replica of [url=http://www.filehippo.com/]this[/url] page :roll: except mine was better : P ( .. consider every single category as a blog.. and every box as a post list widget.. If sth similar works for you i can help you out or all you look for is an html-ish index.html and 5 page content, why dont you try 'generate static page' .. whats wrong with it

This is pretty easy, just add this code in index.main.php

if( is_default_page() )
{
	$disp = 'default_page';
}

Then [url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=14046]create new page[/url] and put there any text or widget/plugin

If you tell me the skin you are using I'll give you the exact code.

To use a category page as the default page, try adding this code after the call to skin_init($disp) in index.main.php.

if (is_default_page())
{
	$cache =& get_Cache('ChapterCache');
	// 6 is the cat ID
	$chapter =& $cache->get_by_ID(6);
	// you could also use:
	//$chapter =& $cache->get_by_urlname('on-the-web');
	header_redirect($chapter->get_permanent_url());
}

The redirect isn't a perfect solution, but $cat (the ID of the category to display) can't be set after the call to skin_init() (because $MainList gets initialized there) and you can't determine whether the default page is displayed before the call to skin_init() without copying code.
