How to set default component?

Post by uweD » Fri Feb 15, 2008 1:56 am

Hi,
I was wondering whether it is possible to change the default component that Joomla uses straight after it starts up. Normally that is 'com_content'. I would like to change Joomla to use my component instead.

Is that possible?

Thanks,
Uwe

Open the Menu Manager for Main Menu. Locate the menu item for your component (assuming you have added this to the menu). Click the checkbox next to it and then click Default (the star) in the toolbar at top right.

Hi Denise,

Thanks a lot for your reply. That is so simple that I am nearly embarrassed not to have worked that one out myself ;). I was thinking way to complicated,

Thanks again,

Uwe
