Blog holder as home page?
28 September 2009 at 6:37pm
Will setting a blog holder as the home page cause any issues? By default archives are listed off the blog holder page (although viewing archives doesn't function correctly at present); is it safe to assume these will still work with the holder as the site's home page?
Thanks for any and all help.

Should work fine. I do the same for my site (Home page is a blog holder)

A couple of further questions.
Firstly, the Archives don't work - a 404 page is shown. Is this due to having the blog holder as the home page?
Secondly, How do we show less than 1 month's entries on the home page? The site has up to 3-4 news stories a day added, and to show a whole month's entries would result in a huge home page. We'd like to keep 15-20 entries (perhaps a week?) on the front page if possible.

This is paginating to 10 entries, which works well. However any clues on the archives? Does this work on your site willr?

willr - thanks for the link.
));
if($isMonthDisplay) {
$link = $container->Link() . $sqlResult['Year']. '/' . sprintf("%'02d", $monthVal);
} else {
$link = $container->Link() . $sqlResult['Year'];
}
are lines 99-106 in our install, which differ slightly from the original lines in the diff. I assume the following should work:
Replace:
$link = $container->Link() . $sqlResult['Year']. '/' . sprintf("%'02d", $sqlResult['Month']);
with:
$link = $container->Link($sqlResult['Year']. '/' . sprintf("%'02d", $sqlResult['Month']));
Thanks for the help thus far too; appreciated.
