Removing /home url

Question

A little tricky this one --- I got handed this site and they have somehow messed the theming up on the home page, so they recreated a new home and redirected it there - both in the config section and in the .htacess but - - - they dont want the url ../home to appear

Is there a quick fix?

---- update Thanx but no luck still - I am now certain its an htacess issue. I have the following settings.

• RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} mydomain.net [NC]
• RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$ Rewriterule ^(.*)$
• http://mydomain.net/home [L,R=301]

What I want to do is to remove the /home If I delete the /home I get a page with no themeing

Answer 1

Navigate to /admin/config/system/site-information, and set "Default front page" to the path you want, without a leading slash (sounds like "home" in this case).

Then remove the redirect from htaccess.

Answer 2

You can achieve it with the Front Page module.

The Front Page module allows for customised home pages dependant on role. The pages can be of the following types:

• Alias - Allows for another Drupal path to be shown as the home page without redirecting the user.
• Redirect - Allows you to redirect users to a local or remote URL.
• Themed - Allows you to enter some static text that will be placed into the content area of a standard Drupal page.
• Full - Allows for static content to be displayed to the screen as is. This method does not pass through Drupal's theming system.
