Display another nodes (folder) content?

Is it possible to specify another node's (in this case a folder) content instead of its own? For example, instead of displaying the default home page content, I'd like to display all the news items within the news folder. I imagine I could do this by creating an override for the home folder which fetches the news folder content? Is there a built in way to do this?

Thanks,

Charles.

Charles, yes this is possible.

In your overridden site.ini.append.php for user siteaccess change:

[SiteSettings]
# Which page to show when the root index (/) is accessed
IndexPage=/content/view/full/2/

Where 2 in /content/view/full/2/ i main root node ID, set your news folder node ID instead of 2
