Greeting folks, Is it possible to define content screens rather than menu screen to be a home screen? Instead of using menu list/buttons, we attempted to use custom URL with tabbed layout. Cheers Cyrus

Yep, just head over to the layout and set the custom URL as the first tab in the layout and it will load that screen. set the other tabs with your hearts desire :) good luck

Thanks for your reply Mysps, We try to fully utilise tab menu due to its limitation. Other tab menu remain its own features or functions. Furthermore, we certainly do not wish to occupy this important space. Any other ideas? Cheers Cyrus

You can use the non tabbed layout and then use simple menu, button menu, or other (paid) plugins for navigation.

Hi AlanMac, Thank you for your comments. Allow me to rephrase my question. I attempted to use custom URL to display animation slide show. There are of course other features such as menu buttons, simple menu list, image gallery, map... etc will be use inside my app as "tabbed layout". Correct me if I'm wrong. The default system detected the menu screens (menu buttons/menu list) to be the home screen and overwrite the content screen (custom URL). This is where the problem lies. I hope it's clear. ps: It's for both iOS and Android platform, self host 2.0 Cheers Cyrus

Any luck?

So, you are saying you set the custom URL for tab one, and the when the app runs a menu screen moves to tab 1? Does the tab with the custom url just disappear and you have one less tab?

Hi Susan, It's nice to hear from you. Below is an example available from appstore. First you see the animated slides as a home screen after the splash. It has no relation with any of the tabbed menu. The home screen (custom URL screen) just purely display with graphics without being the first tab. I couldn't find any option in configuration setting to make the custom URL to be a home screen. I hope it's clear. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cafesalto/id567597664?mt=8 Cheers Cyrus

I don't know of any reason why it can't be a home screen, except that there needs to be some sort of button to bring you to the rest of the app. This can be done with custom code....I have seen other posts on this.

Create your page, then create a tabbed menu layout (under layout) and assign that page to the first tab. That will be the first page that comes up - equivalent to the home page I you are looking for I hope. Personally, I would have the page with the content in the project so that it can be displayed and cached if the internet is not available (probably not custom url). Alan

Hi Susan, Really? I have been tried to search the entire forum related to this. Really appreciated if you can give me some indication. Hi Alan, Custom URL screen is the only solution I can think of to display this animation slides show, and the easiest way at this point. I know if I create a page with menu buttons or menu list screen my problem would go away. System will assign it to a home screen. But what about the animation part? I believe it would be lot more complicated to make those screens animated, right? Please see my previous post on an example for cafesalto. Thanks Cyrus

Hi Susan, Any information you can provide me would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Cyrus
