Navigation bar: hide "home" and/ or replace it with "news"?

Hi,

I think many of us are suing XOOPS first page mainly for showing news. At least this is for me the case. I use XOOPS as a section of my normal website. So basically I do not need the navigation bar/ page "home" in xoops, since my homepage is another one.

The question is now how can I hide/delete home and is there a risk of damaging other functionalities of XOOPS by doing this?

Do others find the "home" useful and why? Maybe I have overseen some of the benefits of separating it from news and showing it as an extra page.

Since the home link is not a module, you would have to delete this in the -block main menu template. Its a simple reference to XOOPS URL. Of course you cant edit your tempplate until you are using a copy of the defauolt set (which is cool and acts as a backup).

Thats one way,
People like myself find the home link useful because my start up page is not "NEWS".

Hope that helps

mmmmh, sounds like I should keep it for the moment as it is...

Do you know where I can change the name on the button itself ("homepage") to something different so that my users are not getting confused by seeing twice that name for different pages?

Thanks

go to modules/system/language/english/blocks.php

look for this line:

define("_MB_SYSTEM_HOME","Home"); // link to home page in main menu block

Change "Home" to whatever you wish

As an alternative, you can use a home page replacement like iMenu or MyMenu. I've tried iMenu and like it, but I've heard good things about MyMenu as well.
