Set as homepage

Hi,

I want to prevent access to the set as homepage button, as some of my webmasters usually do not use it properly.

Is there a way to

1. Remove a page as a homepage without setting another one as homepage, as my homepage is a static HTML page, which then has links to go into teh sitefinity websites.
2. Disable the Set a homepage button.

Thanks for your help,
Zyad

Hello Zyad,

1. Remove a page as a homepage without setting another one as homepage, as my homepage is a static HTML page, which then has links to go into teh sitefinity websites.

You can do this from /App_Data/Sitefinity/Configuration/PagesConfig.config. When you set a page there is a configuration property - "homePageId" which you can remove.

2. Disable the Set a homepage button.

This is not supported, because the "button" you see is a CommandWidgetElement which is defined in PagesDefinitions which cannot be extended.

In SF v3.7 I don't have a siteroot/App_Data/Sitefinity directory.  Is this a v4.0 item?

Hi Jason,

Yes this applies for Sitefinity 4.0. The thread is marked for 4.0 version

If you set the properties of PagesConfig.config at file level to "read only" it prevents this from being changed by site editors to a different page - not a clean solution but it works
