Hi!
In the Administration Guide you mention in the chapter "Manage Home Page Definition":
>Currently you can only create a home page definition which links to an existing Jahia page. A
>future release of Jahia may permit to use home page definitions to automatically create a new
>page based on a previously chosen template when creating a new user/group or when setting
>a home page for a user/group.
We would like to have this. Have you already prepared something? Are there any pitfalls you already thought of?
Automatically creating a sub-set of pages in Jahia is still quite complex. So we wanted to wait for the implementation of the XML import/export module (Jahia 4.5) in order to be able to store some generic XML file to generate some pre-defined pages, lists, etc... you may then call each time you create a new user.
Meanwhile you may develop something more custom by forcing the use of a modified version of the Registration/MySettings engine and which would automatically add some pre-defined pages somehwehere on your site.
We would also like to add an "external URL" as homepage for a group.
The background to it: We have implemented a organization management, where certain groups represent organizations and will have its own Jahia homepage. Some organizations maybe already have an external homepage.
The endUser gets a navigation tree, where all organizations (stored as groups) are displayed in a tree. Some of them have a Jahia homepage, some of them an external homepage and some of them don't have a homepage yet.
Clearly it is quite a while (Jahia 3.0) that we developed this feature, so perhaps you may want to take a look directly in the code to see what we did at that time...
Cheers
