The initial page is weblog.vm: (near the top of the theme.xml file)
<template action="weblog">
<name>Weblog</name>
<description>Main page of weblog</description>
<link></link>
<navbar>false</navbar>
<hidden>true</hidden>
<templateCode>
<templateLanguage>velocity</templateLanguage>
<contentType>text/html</contentType>
<contentsFile>weblog.vm</contentsFile>
<type>standard</type>
</templateCode>
</template>
##
in std_header.vm:
<div id="main_title">
<h1><a href="$url.home">$model.weblog.name</a></h1>
<p>$model.weblog.description</p>
</div>
<div id="page_menu">
#showPageMenu($model.weblog)
</div>
$model.weblog.name == the name of the frontPage website, to change use the
preferences
$model.weblog.description == the description of the frontPage website, to
change use the maintenance preferences
See the preferences|setting tab
##
Forchange of Front Page or Weblog :
#macro(showPageMenu $weblog)
<ul class="rNavigationBar">
<li class="rNavItem">
<a href="$url.site/"><span>$config.siteShortName</span></a>
</li>
<li class="rNavItem">
<a href="$url.home"><span>Weblog</span></a>
</li>
#end
$config.siteShortName = Server Admin | Configuration Tab >> "Short name
(shown in site banner)" field
Weblog = Hard coded so will need to change or use $weblog.description
(Front Page weblog description field)
May need to restart/redeploy roller depending if theme reloading is not
used.
Cheers Greg
