HomePagePlugin

Allow sitewide, user or hostname specified default pages

Usage

This plugin makes the Default frontpage configurable -

1. any time a user goes to https://www.nutzpflanzen.de they will be shown the topic configured

by the Foswiki administrator in {HomePagePlugin}{SiteDefaultTopic} in the Extensions section of configure.

1. if {HomePagePlugin}{GotoHomePageOnLogin} is set, when a user logs in, they will be shown the topic specificed in their UserForm

Additionally, there is now a ={HomePagePlugin}{HostnameMapping} EXPERT setting that allows you to set different frontpages for each domain or protocol, which means you could define a hostname per web

eg

    'http://home.org' => 'Home',
    'http://www.home.org' => 'Home.Www',
    'http://blog.org' => 'Blog',
    'http://www.blog.org' => 'Blog.Www'

or

    'http://download.foswiki.org' => 'Download',
    'http://tasks.foswiki.org' => 'Tasks',
    'http://development.foswiki.org' => 'Development',
    'http://extensions.foswiki.org' => 'Extensions',
    'http://community.foswiki.org' => 'Community',
    'http://support.foswiki.org' => 'Support',
    'http://CarlSagan.foswiki.org' => 'Main.CarlSagan,

TemplateLogin individual configurable HomePage on login

The Admin can also configure {HomePagePlugin}{GotoHomePageOnLogin}, to default to an individual HomePage defined in a UserForm field in the users personal topic. (the current user - WikiGuest - has HomePage set to : nothing)

Note that this means that any URLs emailed to them will only be useful after login.

Installation Instructions

You do not need to install anything in the browser to use this extension. The following instructions are for the administrator who installs the extension on the server.

Open configure, and open the "Extensions" section. Use "Find More Extensions" to get a list of available extensions. Select "Install".

If you have any problems, or if the extension isn't available in configure, then you can still install manually from the command-line. See http://foswiki.org/Support/ManuallyInstallingExtensions for more help.
