What is the best way to do this....

If i have a custom page created by a plugin is there a way to set the homepage route into it?

Thanks

    Also, if you just want to add simple static content without rerouting ... in your template, default..master.tpl there is a nice smarty variable you can use to decide what to show in your homepage. It is $isHomepage

    You can load an entire new page template design if you want

    {if $isHomepage}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<title>my homepage</title>
<body>
{pocket name="homePagePocket"}
Hey Look I got rid of the discussion or categories listing ... hahahaha hehehehe
</body>
</html>
{else}
  {include file="partials/mainSitedesign.tpl"}
{/if}

    Or if you like your existing main rest-of-the-site design so much but want to nuke the forumisque discussion/categories list side of things

    {if $isHomepage}
{pocket name="homePagePocket"}
{module name="homePagePocket"}

{else}
{asset name="Content"}
{/if}

//and elsewhere on the page

{if $isHomepage}
<div> I am homepage side bar</div>
{else}
{asset name="Panel"}
{/if}

    Use include and pockets  and modules to make things a little less hazardous, and tidy.
