My website uses XOOPS 2.3.2a and SmartSection 2.14. Besides, it also use Simplified_URL 1.51 to rewrite URL as "http://www.mywebsite.com/smartsection-item.itemid-?.htm".

I would like to set the front page of visiting "http://www.mywebsite.com" as "http://www.mywebsite.com/smartsection-item.itemid-1.htm", instead of setting startup module as "SmartSection". By setting "SmartSection" as startup module, only category list is shown (I do not want viewer has the right to read the category/article list).

How can I config "http://www.mywebsite.com/smartsection-item.itemid-1.htm" as the front page?

My server config:

XOOPS Version - XOOPS 2.3.2a
PHP Version - 5.2.2
MySQL Version - 5.0.24a-log
Server API Version - cgi
OS Version - FreeBSD

Thanks a lot!

If there are blocks in Smartsection, where you can highlight a specific article, then you could display this block in the center column at the home page only.
Adding a rewrite rule is also a possibility.

Thank you very much, ghia!

I use the "block" method but it will display a list of articles, which I do not want it to be seen.

For the rewrite rule, can you tell me how to set the RewriteRule to have this effect?

Thank you very much.

Try
RewriteRule ^$ /modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=1 [L]
