Mark a page as Homepage (7.2)
Junior Member Posts: 69 Join Date: 4/1/20 Recent Posts
Hey Liferay Community,I noticed that it's not possible in the old way to mark a Page as 'Homepage' anymore (with Liferay CE 7.2.1) or atleast it was moved to a different place?

How am I now able to define a Page as Index Page?

Was this setting there in 6.2? I remember darkly that there was once such a setting. But I am not sure if it exists anymore.
If you mean the default landing page, it was moved to Instance Settings -> Instance Configuration.

No it was actually present even in 7.1. 

Problem with your solution is, that when setting default landing page to for example  the page "/home" you can't click on the Logo in the top left corner anymore for getting quickly to your site.
Also some weird redirects occur,  for example if you edit webcontent in the liferay-backend, open a new tab and enter the domain of your page - you will instantly get redirected to the liferay-backend where you edited webcontent.
We could only solve this by adjusting Apache to redirect from "/home" to "/" and not configuring this inside of Liferay, sadly.

Yes, found it in 7.1.
That feature seems to be completely gone. It is there in 7.1, but the code doesn't exist anymore in Liferay master.
Maybe you could cheat? I mean, keep whatever page you want to use as homepage first in the pages tree and either move it "away" in the navigation template or create a new navigation without that page and configure the navigation portlet to use that menu.

It was good while it lasted wasn't it? I don't get it now we have to drag the homepage to the top . Urgh. The first page is the homepage <- It's so intuitive isn't it?
