To make a different frontpage you can do 2 things:
1) Go into the sit.ini.append for your siteaccess, and change the IndexPage= to point to any page/article on your site that you like.
2) Log-in to the admin interface, and edit the folder called 'home.'
The text you have on the front page of your site is the text in the description field of the 'Home' folder. Change it to whatever you like.
There are other things that you could (probably) also do, but these are the easiest (only ones I know of).
When I started to work with eZPublish 3.2...those days where nice..:) I followed this tutorial and it helped me a lot to understand the way eZPublish wors.
I have created a project in which the admin can choose which articles are shown in the front page and can also choose among different templates to show them with different appearence (digital newspaper like). Unfortunately it's not still finished and can not be visited yet :(
Cya!
Can you feel it Mr. Anderson? Closing in on you? Oh I can, I really should thank you after all. It was, after all, it was your life that taught me the purpose of all life. Purpose of life is to end.
