Add Home Page to NavBar
Permalink
I've been trying to figure out how to add a Home Page link to the navbar menu of the sample templates. Am I missing something easy here?
Couldn't you just use the title? I guess I'm just avid user of the internet so I know that most of the time you can click the title of the site and it will bring you back to the home page. That's more of a rule of thumb with web sites any more. I know that's not obvious to most people and maybe that's what you're trying to accomplish. {shrug} But I just thought I'd mention it incase anyone else is reading this and didn't realize it. I'm sure you did tho.
the titel shouldn't be of the "ul, li" structure. you can modify the autonav template "view.php" and add some code there..
this works but it's really ugly hack.

I guess I was a bit tired in the morning..
I wanted to say "the titel has to be a part of the ul, li structure" which is why you would have to create a new template for this.

I know the title does it. I'm building a Church website and like the Home on the Nav. I'm still troweling my way around this framework. I've been using Joomla / WPress /Rapidweaver..... but this Concrete CMS is really going to make for some nice sites. It wasn't until I deleted the default pages and converted a WP theme to use in C5 that I realized the Home Page is auto generated.
This is going to be good.....!! Great Forum here.

I had the same question, and here's what I did:
I logged in and went to the dashboard
Click on the Home folder, and choose Add External link
Then I just linked it to "/index.php"
Now I have a nice home link :D

that's really not as ugly as the "view.php template way".
thanks!
thanks!
I did the same thing as MetalOnes said, and it work great.
There is a slight problem with this method. My site leverages the nav-selected class, but it doesn't appear to work with external links. So I don't get my cool styling on the home page in the nav.

had the same problem and built an ugly template for autonav to achieve that..
not the best way and takes a few minutes, but it works.
would be cool if there would be an easier solution!

**EDIT**
Also, don't listen to anything I say below because I must have been smoking a crack pipe when I got this idea.
**EDIT**
Don't add an external link.
Don't create a template for auto-nav.
Both of these methods have undesirable results.
1. Go to dashboard
2. Go to sitemap
3. Click on 'Home'
4. Click on Properties
5. Scroll to bottom and uncheck 'Exclude from Nav'
6. Rejoice that you have Home in your nav without any yucky hackery.

It doesn't work... I cannot see the Home page in the nav menu and this because I renamed the Home page to Welcome...
I renamed again to Home but nothing to do... is there a solution???

Thank you sooooo much jereme! that worked perfectly.
