I18N Special Pages

[jay_m]

My question will probably sound idiot ...
I use the plugin "Special Pages" and I can not put my first page customized with "Special Pages" that appears first on my site ...
It seems that there is always the "Home" page that appears...
so I would like that my first page appears there:

http://www.siteName.com/myFirstPageCustomised

I wonder if you could find the special page xml in data/pages/ rename it to index and modify the tag <url>index</url>. I have not tested this so I would make backups before I did it.

Another option would be to make a template just for the index page (index.php) then you could include GS functions to pull data from your special page and display it on your index. This method would have more flexibility (and probably a more correct way of doing it).

Code:

<?php echo getPageField($page, $field); ?>
<?php echo getPageField(special_page_slug, 'content'); ?>

Using this method you could even create a custom field, using the Custom Fields plugin, that you used to set the $page variable, and dynamically change the index page.

there is also more information in the Wiki

Just some idle thoughts, GS is great for those of use who are just getting our feet wet. Simple enough to understand but with enough power, and support, to accomplish some really neat things with just a little out of the box thinking, and a lot of searching.
