I know I've seen how to do this before, but I just can't find it!

For my homepage, I just want a static homepage, not the latest content like the default is set up to show.

I've created the page I want to use using "page". How do I make this the page that shows up on my homepage?

Thanks, I know this is easy, I just can't find it right now.

You can find it under administer -> settiings, II think it is called 'front page' (or something like that). It will be set to node by default.

Hey that got me half there thanks.

When I do this and set a node for the home page, I still get a:

Is ther a way to get rid of this? But just on the home page?

Unless you are using both the story and page module, I would use one content type for the front page and the other content type for other content. Then at admin/themes/settings you can set the 'Display post information on' on or off for each content type as desired.

If using a phptemplate you can also modify node.tpl.php to achieve the same thing.

I decided to just do a little hacking on node.tpl.php.

Thanks for the idea I changed the line:

     print $submitted .'<span class="taxonomy">'. ($submitted ? ' :: ' : '') . $terms .'</span>';

to:


  	$currentPage = explode('/',$_SERVER['PATH_INFO']);
  	
  	if ($currentPage[1] != null){
  	print $submitted .'<span class="taxonomy">'. ($submitted ? ' :: ' : '') . $terms .'</span>';
  	}

thanks Nevets for pointing me there. This works as long as one has clean URL's enabled.

On this, I also found out you can program a new module and use that as well. That probably isn't the easiest option, but then again, it might be if you throw something together real quick and grant access to all. Maybe just make a new "page" module and change one slight functionality in it.

Anyway, I'm done with this thread, but thought it might be of use to others.
