    Getting blank default page - how to set which page is start homepage

    My structure is

    • settings page
    • sitemap
    • homepage
    • page1
      • Sub Page1
      • Sub Page2
    • page2
      • Sub Page1
      • Sub Page2

     

    Where can I set the "Homepage" to be the starting page?

     

    At the moment, when i visit http://localhost/homepage.aspx it obviously works fine, but http://localhost/ does not work and just shows a blank page. I have tried setting a default page as /homepage.aspx in IIS, but this didn't seem to work, and felt like a hack as surely there should be some way to set it via the CMS? (I might want to change the first page??)

    Thanks in advance

    I believe the first page in the tree will be your homepage...You can probably just sort it up to the top.

    To clarify, the page just below the "content" node will be your homepage.

    Umbraco will take the first node as the home page.

    You should organise your content - I prefer adding a "Web site" node to be a parent node to the rest of the content in the site.

    If that is not an option you can use umbracoRedirect property to route to the correct page - I believe it would be easier to organize though, if possible ;)

    Simple as that. I thought I was going to have problems moving things like the sitemap from the top of the order, as it looked at all the next siblings to draw, but It works (and i now remembe changing it to use the root node and look at the umbracoHideNav thing! so all good :)

    Thanks for the speedy reply
