I am running off of a local install on my laptop.
How to change the landing page within the C5 site? I want the start page to be the blog page. You can't make the "Home" page the starting blog page when using Blogga without running into a lot of problems. How can I make a page beneath the "Home" page in the Sitemap the landing page?
I am supposed to change the "define('DIR_REL', '/concrete5');" line inside of the site.php file inside of the config folder right? What do I change it to in order to have a page called "blog" be the start page which is just below the Home page in the sitemap? Nothing seems to work for me.
C5 tells me that the url to the blog page is "...foldername/index.php/blog" I try changing the site.php line to: define('DIR_REL', '/foldername/index.php/blogThis does not work. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. previous posts that I have found on this matter do not help me.

How about adding a 'page list block' on the homepage?
I want to change the landing page, not just have a landing page with page links on it.
Hi,
Create a home.php file inside your themes directory and do your coding, and add this page in dashboard/pages and themes/page type or reinstall the theme. Now the home.php will be your landing page.
Try this, it may help you.
Thanks

I am no C5 expert but I am yet to see a home.php inside of any theme folders. How this would somehow tell the browser to look inside the theme folder for a home.php I do not know.
You can apply any page type to the home dape (i.e. landing page). Its in the design menu on top whild in edit mode.

Using Blogga, this isn't practical. Blogga saves each post as an individual page underneath the main (or starting) blog page. This then would put all the individual blog posts on the level as all the other pages just underneath the landing page which would make both organization and Auto Nav rather impractical. I currently have the "home" page excluded from Auto Nav which seems to be a common practice as far as I can tell.
I just want to change the setting to tell the browser to use a page beneath the "home" page for a landing page. I believe it is done with the site.php file but I can't find a setting that works.

Have you tried this gem:http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/redirect1/... ?
Works great.

Works great.

I'm a C5 neophyte with experience utilizing a number of other CMSes over the past decade. I've spent the last two days trying to figure out why a page template created for index.php (home.php) wasn't working properly, even though I thought that I absolutely understood how the templating system worked and how to apply them as page types.
I just wanted to say, Vijay, that your post helped me immensely. Uploading new files to my theme piecemeal didn't work; I had to completely remove and then reinstall the theme!
I just wanted to leave this comment here in case anyone else ran into similar problems and stumbled across this thread. Thank you!
