I'm trying to figure out how to place todays post's as the default view on the home page, rather than the general listing of categories. Has anyone done this, can anyone give me any tips/instructions?

Thanks.

You need to hack up the code inside root_index.php.t, if
$t is empty or == 'index' and there are no other $_GET variables then redirect the user to the page you want.

Hi

I've located the file root_index.php.t but I'm unable to follow your instructions because I don't see a $t value nor do I know how to "redirect the user to a different page". I'm no stranger to hacking a little code but the info you gave me was a little too esoteric.

Would you mind being a little more specific or even post a new line of code to replace an old line of code? I'm working with a default set of files.

Your help would be very appreciated.

Thanks very much.

I suggest that you carefuly review the file, the $t variable is quite visible and I fail to see how you could've missed it given the fact it appears numerous time in that the file.
As far as redirecting the user if you have ever coded in PHP you must've come across the header() function, use it. If you have not the look up the documentation for the function on http://www.php.net

I guess I'll have to blow off that idea and not bother coming back to this board until I'm an expert on coding php. I'm humbly sorry for wasting your time.
