Hi,

I'm looking for some advice on how I can setup the home page so that it shows different content depending on whether the user is logged in or not.

When a public user comes to the site the only thing I want them to see is the login form and a welcome message along the lines of "Welcome to MySite, please login to access site content". Once they log in, they see the "real" home page with the main menu, components, and modules (and they no longer see the welcome message).

I looked into the User Home Pages component but that offers a lot more than what I'm looking for. The installation is also more involved than most components and I'd be concerned that it would make upgrading mambo difficult in the future. Is there a simpler solution?

Thanks for your help.

Hi again,

I found this thread helpful: http://mambers.com/showthread.php?t=1000

I haven't tried implementing the recommendations there but it looks promising.

When I initially searched the forum before starting this thread I was thinking in terms of "home pages". A search just now for "frontpage" yielded more relevant results.
