Question How do I move the default starting page. I find the current layout of the twiki pages very confusing and I would like to "bury" the current hierarchy under a new main page. In other words I would like ot make all the default stuff a subdirectory in my new site.

Put another way I guess I want all the default stuff to be its own web and my new stuff to appear when someone first comes to the twiki site. There will be links from there to default twiki stuff. Does this make sense?

I read through the FAQ and some of the documentation and I can't figure out how to do. Thanks for the help... .

• TWiki version: December 2000
• Web server: Apache
• Server OS: RH 6.2 linux

Answer

A simple approach is to just edit the Main.WebHome page and cut out all the stuff that should no longer be there. Then create a link to a new page e.g. MoreInfo, preview and save, and go to MoreInfo link to paste in the text cut from the main page.

This will still leave all the other pages in the Main web, but you don't have to reference them.

You may find it better to create a new web, moving all Main pages (using Unix tools) except for the user names, which must remain in Main currently (at least in May2000 version). To create a new web, see TWikiInstallationGuide

As I take it, Main and TWiki are special TWikiWebs which can´t be renamed easily without wrecking the Wiki installation, i.e. you will have to put up with them. You are free to create new webs and point your users to one of your webs as starting point.
