James Robertson	Wednesday 07 September 2005 7:08:45 pm I meant the top-level 'Content' node (ie. node ID 2). The only way I have found to do this is to redefine the Folder class into something else. Then, if you still want a Folder class, to create a new class and define it as per the old Folder class.
Bertrand Dunogier	Tuesday 13 September 2005 11:26:22 am As far as I know, the only way is to create the node you want as the top level node, then use the swap function to swap node 2 and your node. As far as I'm concerned, I usually create a separate node I specify as DefaultPage. But from a structural point of vue, having the hompage at the top level is really better. And it doesn't mess up the breadcrumb navigation ^^
