Linking to homepage #6

Closed roberttolton closed 7 years ago

roberttolton commented 8 years ago

I'm trying to link a node to my homepage, which has the slug of __home__ in order for Craft to recognise it as the homepage (not using the normal method).

However Navee wants to actually link the node to http://site.dev/__home__ which of course isn't desired, so I tried just /, however while it works there's no real "connection" between the node and the entry.

Thoughts?

Hey @roberttolton,

Just so I understand - is the issue that you aren't getting the node marked as the active node when using this method? Or is there another issue as well?

Hey @roberttolton - I can't seem to recreate this one. If I use the custom method for the home node and add "/" as the value - Navee is picking up that I have selected that node and adding the active class as expected. I'm a bit confused.

Hi @michaelfromtheoutfit sorry, I edited the task after I realised I described it wrongly, the active class does indeed get set correctly, so that's all fine.

The issue now is just that if I create a node with a link to an entry with the slug of __home__ the URI then prints out with this slug, rather than re-writing it to say, just the site's URL or /.

A&M Nav seems to handle this, so I'm not sure what they're doing - maybe worth a look? Cheers!

Hey @roberttolton,

I'm admittedly relatively new to Craft in general. Can you hip me as to why you'd want to link an entry with the slug of home rather than just selecting "Custom" from the link type and typing in the / as the uri?

Basically, I'm not using a single type entry with the "This is the homepage" checkbox checked, and so in order for an entry in a channel to be called for the homepage you can use the __home__ slug, a special slug that Craft recognises and uses for the homepage.

It's not too much of a big deal to just use a custom link of / but, you don't get that fancy edit button on the node row to edit the page 😛

Hey folks,

Finally got around to including this - my apologies for the delay. Should be available in v1.3.0.
