I'm confused...

In the SilverStripe template basic theme tutorial, we are told to change the behavior of the page that we would like to be homepage to use the HomePage.ss template through the drop-down list. However I only have three items on the list for my theme, none of which says 'HomePage' -- is it just me or what's going on? Can anybody help here?

The tutorial says: "To illustrate how we do this, we will create a new template for the homepage."

You will have to create it yourself and then flush the database etc. It is all explained in there.

Thanks for your response Yurigoul - got me looking things over again more carefully. Have added the HomePage.php file to mysite/code. However when I click the link http://localhost/dev/build?flush=1 I get a 404 page! My development address for my site is http://localhost/Sites/SilverStripe/?flush=1, so I'm wondering if this is a factor? Do you have any further pointers?

Your URL would then be : http://localhost/Sites/SilverStripe/dev/build?flush=1

Always append the /dev/build to the URL of your SilverStripe install.

Thanks! That sorted it!

Hi!

Have you created a HomePage page type as explained in the tutorial and assigned it to your Home Page?

Also, don’t put HomePage.ss in \templates.

Hope it helps,
Juan
