Hi Artio Support Team,

I have a new Rockettheme template MEDIAMOGUL and it uses STATIC CONTENT only for the home page.

I cannot get the home page link to point to mysite.com instead of creating a new sef link mysite.com/staticname.html

Am I doing something wrong?

yes.. why can't i get www.domain.com to go to my 1st menu item??? Why does is always go to com_frontpage first?? My client used com_frontpage as the 2nd menu item in for is news page.. He does not com_frontpage as the 1st menu item..

please help!

Hello,

you have 2 options to solve this:
1) change the generated URL manually in JoomSEF URL editor
2) make a 301 redirect

I've been going back and forth with this issue.. I'm getting really frustrated and i wish there we be some posted code from Artio to help out. If i go to www.domain.com it does not go to the first menu item, instead it goes to com_frontpage by default.

I've tried editing the redirect tables but it only rewrites the menu link.. If i go to www.domain.com or www.domain.com/index.php it just takes me to com_frontpage.

This is Joomla 1.0.13 (rob's patch) and Artio 2.3.1

I have tried the suggestion below:
1) Only works for the menu link. does not apply to www.domain.com or www.domain.com/index.php
2) what kind of redirect? can you please provide some tips?

Also, i'm willing to hack the code to make this com_frontpage default go away, but i don't know where to start. I tried replacing lines 63-64 (joomsef.php):

$query = "SELECT `id`,`link' FROM #__menu WHERE menutype = 'mainmenu' AND published > 0 AND ordering = 1";
$database->setQuery($query);

but that doesn't work.. when i do they i can't get the frontpage to work anymore, but the www.domain.com works as it should (directs me to the first menu item)

Can you guys please help out with explicit instructions? I do not like sh404sef, and wish to migrate over to Artio if this issue can be resolved.

Hello,

I think i have put in over 10 hours trying to come up with some sort of method to fixing this 1st menu items always redirecting to com_frontpage.

I just can't do it and have no idea's how to fix this for Joomla 1.0.. I've posted across other threads but can't find the solution anywhere.

Would someone please help.

Has there been any development with regards to having the 1st menu item being anything else other the com_frontpage??

Seems like this has been an issue for almost a year now.. Please help!!
