    How to make a page the root ~/ url?

    UI Questions

    Hi,

    I have a series of contents as direct child of my umbraco site root and all of them has url format like "~/PageName.aspx".

    How can I make one of them becomes the home root means the url is “~/”?

    Thank you,

    Use content picker Data type which can be used to select any page as a Homepage.

    Hi Mr A,

    Sorry, I can't follow the direction you gave me. Could you tell me where and how do I apply the content picker?

    By default Umbraco should use your first node, ie the one directly under "Content" as your home page and automatically make the URL "/".  I don't believe there's a built-in way to change this, other than assigning hostnames.  Most typically have the first node as their Home page and have child nodes beneath or outside of it.

    Tom is right about the homepage , On the rootnode in the backhand you can set a property Homepage Selecter which will use the data type content picker which can be used to select a homepage, for instance if you want the news node to be your homepage you just have to simple select the news node in the content picker . Is that you are looking for?

    Hi Mr A,

    I am really trying to understand the technique you are describing. Here are the steps I took:

    1. Installed Business Started kit
    2. Go to property of the root node “Business site”
    3. Note that the document type is “Homepage”
    4. Go to document type “Homepgae” definition
    5. Add a new property “HomepageSelecter” to the “Homepgae” document type
    6. Set the data type of HomepageSelecter to “Content Picker”
    7. Go back to the properties of the root node “Business site”
    8. Choose “Contact us” as the value of “HomepageSelecter”

    NOTHING HAPPENS!!!!

    Is adding the new property supposed to change or do something?

    Thank you for help,
