Key Functionality
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
1. Allows you to specify a custom front page based on role type.
|
|
|
|
2. Allows 4 different override types:
|
|
1. Themed - Allows you to add content that will display as a standard
|
|
themed Drupal page.
|
|
2. Full - Allows you to add content that will be displayed on the screen
|
|
as is. This method is the same as declaring a whole HTML page.
|
|
3. Redirect - Allows you to 301 redirect the user to another path.
|
|
4. Alias - Allows you to specify a local path which will then display as
|
|
the home page without redirecting the user.
|
|
|
|
4. Allow Themed and Full display types to be passed through Drupals input filters.
|
|
|
|
5. Override Home Links to go to another local path. This could be to stop users
|
|
going back to a splash screen.

Installation
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
1. Upload and install the Front Page module.
|
|
|
|
2. Go to Administer -> Config -> Front Page.
|
|
|
|
3. Expand any of the roles that you want to override the default front page and
|
|
select the appropriate method of override as well as filling in the variables
|
|
required for that method. Once the settings are correct save the form.
|
|
|
|
4. Go to Administer -> Config -> Front Page -> Arrange.
|
|
|
|
5. Arrange the roles in the order in which you want them to process. Roles at
|
|
the top will process first and then work down the list. Once the order is
|
|
correct save the form.
|
|
|
|
5. Go back to Administer -> Config -> Front Page.
|
|
|
|
6. Enable the 'Front Page Override' checkbox and then save the form. The front
|
|
page module should now be working correctly. |
