I18N Special Pages

[Cerulean]

Two things...

1. I'm experiencing an issue that's been raised before: I can't access the special fields directly in my template with

Code:

<?php get_special_field('myfield'); ?>

I only get a blank space, or a default value if one is specified when the special field is called. But, strangely, if I put something (any text at all) in the "HTML/PHP code for the display of a page" field on the "View" tab, then suddenly the special fields in my template start working. Any ideas why this is?

2. How can I set my Home page to be a special page? The Home page seems to be locked to the default page that is built in to every GetSimple installation and I can't work out how to delete it and replace it with new special page.

Thanks.
