A new "default homepage" site setting

Thanks Kris!

I’m a little reticent to lose the ability of users to choose their own homepage. But then again, few actually ever do so.

• the user interface preference for “default home page” will override the custom theme homepage

That is good to know!

So then in that case our venerable Custom Homepage for Groups Theme Component might work:

Custom Homepage for Groups

Overview When installed and added to the active theme, this theme component enables you to control the ‘homepage’, allowing it to be different from the set of pages Discourse allows by default, as well as having different groups have different “homepages” (e.g., group members care only or mostly about a particular category). This can be for all users, anon (non-logged in), mobile users, or according to a user’s primary group. Initially developed by @pfaffman. See User-specific Discourse home pag…

It might require a tweak to work with the (newish) core custom-homepage though.
