I am a Drupal Newbie, I have not learn't all the features yet.

I want to do the following.

I have created custom twig template for the front page.

By default I have default Frontpage view. I deleted it.

I've created a new view. And I want to use it as my default view for the front page, but I can't figure out how to do this.

I know about setting front page url in global settings. But it requires alias. Or it uses default frontpage.

So basically my questions are

  1. How to create a view without alias, not exactly without, but with / or nothing for the front page.
  2. How to associate a pathless view with a front page ?

I would be grateful for any help.

How to create a view without alias, not exactly without, but with / or nothing for the front page.

How to associate a pathless view with a front page ?

  1. You cannot create a pathless view page. (The default front-page view has a /node path)
  2. Create a block View

Then go to blocks, and place your view block in a region. Content region perhaps?

Under Visibility settings check-mark "display only in" and put <front> so it only gets displayed in the front page.

As No Sssweat explained, you cannot create a pathless view page. I would recommend installing Empty Page module to get a blank front page and then assign a view to a content region.

You can have your url as / with empty page if you like. Give it a go and let me know if any issues.

  • Thanks for the answer, but I've already tried / and it doesn't let me set this url for view Mar 1, 2017 at 14:41
  • You will need to setup a empty page first with URL set to /. You then create a view block and assign this newly created view in a content region. Let me know if you need any help.
