I've assigned a page from Pages module as home page. And now the main menu shows the menu item called 'Main' which leads to '/main' page. How can I change that to make the 'Main' menu item link to really '/' of the site ?
Updated: Sorry if it is not clear, the 'page' i mean is really a page - ( Site building -> Pages ).
If you go to the Site Information section of your admin panel, you can set a specific node to show up as the front page. I would use the node/XX way of referencing your node, since the alias you gave the node ("main") may change. Once you've done that, you can change your menu link to go to "", which will automatically send it to whatever node is designated as the front page.
Got it. If I mark a 'page' as to be the front page of the site, and it has a menu item, this menu item leads to something like '/main', but not the '/'. To fix it I removed any menu reference on the page properties and then in the menu editor add the required link with the path ''. Thanks for the response!
On top of what everyone else has said, can I just let you know of a mistake that I made.
I had pathauto switched on, but it was set to delete old path and create a new path if the title of a page changed.
And you know what, this happened to my home page, so where the page I'd over ridden and called homepage, was now called welcometothisthatortheother (if you know what I mean).
My advise if your using pathauto is to use the nid value ( node/11 ) or make sure unlike me, that you only create new paths on page inserts rather than updates.
