I have a DNN project utilizing a Flash embedded javascript object located in the home page [.ascx] of the site's Skin package, which then has to be called from within the Default.aspx located in the DNN root directory.  To make it all as universal as I could, I loaded the .js file that the Default.aspx file requests into the 'js' folder.

Everything looks great.  The Flash movie runs just fine - until...

I began to navigate the site, and noticed that if I click the logo I am pointed to: Default.aspx?base

When I click on the 'HOME' link from the solpart menu, I am pointed to: HOME/tabid/36/Default.aspx

The former works the way I want it [identical to how the movie loads and views if an anonymous user hits the site's address in the browser]...

The latter [HOME/tabid/36/Default.aspx] does not...

My question:

How do I change the 'HOME' link on the solpart menu to be something other than: 'HOME/tabid/36/Default.aspx' ?

Or, are there other known workarounds?  I would be happy to inject the proper relative/absolute directory path into this other 'home' page as well, but I'm not sure where to find it?  There must be a second home page being created and running from this 'virtual' directory of some sort...

Thanks in advance for your responses!

You can set the "Home" page under Admin -> Site Settings. You can also set a "Splash" page. The splash page is hit each time someone comes to your site without specifying a specific tabid (url). The home page is linked with the assigned home page selected in the site settings and the logo click link. I am not sure of the requirements exactly, but if you put a flash module in a dnn page via text/hmtl module and specify full url's it will load properly and you don't have to modify the default.aspx at all. Maybe I misunderstand things, but this should be enough to get the conversation going at least.

Hi Crispy,

I've attempted to modify the Admin > Site Settings for the HOME page, as it was set to <None Specified> originally...

I've changed this to HOME, so that at least there would be one home page either way...but, I didn't see any noticeable corrections...

So, I've set it back to <None Specified> for the time being.

The logo still clicked to: Default.aspx?base, and the 'HOME' solpart menu link still clicked to: HOME/tabid/36/Default.aspx

The Flash is loaded directly in the skin code as opposed to dropping a module into a content pane, etc.

Apparently, there are three inherited ways to access the home page:

1.  http://www.domain.com
2.  logo
3.  solpart HOME

It sounds like I might need the solpart HOME to click back to the splash page?...

Is there a way to change the solpart HOME to click to the 'base' location where the logo clicks to?

Thanks again for your help!

There isn't a "base" location as the URL suggests.  That was just a line of code that was updated to include that and I do not think anyone knows why.  It has since been fixed in newer DNN releases.  (Since v4.05.03, I think).  Here is how to fix that:

Open  ~/admin/skins/logo.ascx.vb (Line: 91)
 Change this line:
  hypLogo.NavigateUrl = GetPortalDomainName(PortalSettings.PortalAlias.HTTPAlias, Request) & "/" & glbDefaultPage & "?base"
 To this line:
  hypLogo.NavigateUrl = String.Concat(GetPortalDomainName(PortalSettings.PortalAlias.HTTPAlias, Request), "/", glbDefaultPage)

As far as the rest of your question, Crispy's method should work.

I've applied this to the logo, and I've noticed that the URL now takes me to:

http://domain.com/Default.aspx

But, this still leaves me with the HOME link on the solpart taking me to a different home page:

HOME/tabid/36/Default.aspx

Any ideas about what line[s] to change in order to alter any of the solpart menu hyperlinks?
