Allow Arbitrary Homepage (by Jay Pfaffman)

Customization Theme component

Actually a bug remains: although calling the URL https://thx.zoethical.org works from outside, once in the Discourse, clicking the logo does not result in bringing back the overridden page. I noticed a permalink check, so I tried several options, which all failed:

  1. create a permalink from https://thx.zoethical.org to /index.html
  2. create a permalink from https://thx.zoethical.org to /TransHack_·Xist·nce…
  3. combine those with a permalink from /index.html to /TransHack_·Xist·nce…
  4. remove the redirect to /TransHack_·Xist·nce… in the frontend configuration
  5. create a custom_url permalink and point it to an external URL

I guess the issue comes from the fact the script does not try to reload the whole application when clicking on the logo but expects an internal link to be attached to the top path.

I would expect that when either the homepage_url_override or the (e.g., custom_url) permalink points to an absolute URL, then the page is fully reloaded.
