Can you create a custom landing page?

[VoskCoin]

I understand the normal homepage, and modifying that. I also understand banners and pinning topics.

What if I wanted a unique landing page for referring people from a specific location, maybe I wanted to highlight specific topics on this landing page etc – is there anyway to do something like this?

Custom Intro page for discourse

I have a custom Intro page for the discourse forum to tell new visitors about it benefits.I have designed a page through a plugin and is available at location like www.example/home. I want to make this location(www.example/home) as the default landing location so that when a user hits the Url it lands directly to this location(www.example/home) but at the same time if the root location is accessed from the website itself (ex - clicking on logo that takes you to home location)the same intro page…

I found this topic, but it didn’t solve my concern

No, not at the moment. We’ve discussed the ability to create static pages in Discourse, and will possibly have something within the next 6 months or so (sorry can’t be more specific than that!).

This plugin may help but plugin author said it may break along the way.

Discourse-home-page

discourse-home-page This Discourse plugin allows to set any existing Discourse page (a topic, a category, etc.) as the home page of your Discourse instance. The repo is here: https://github.com/sylque/discourse-home-page This plugin is especially useful when used with DiscPage. Settings discourse_home_page_enabled : set to true to enable the plugin discourse_home_page_path : path of the home page. For example /t/12 will set the home page to topic 12 and /c/5 will set the home page…

There is also a couple of plugins that do forms of static pages like

ProCourse Static Pages

I’ve been doing freelance Discourse customization as my primary gig for almost a year at this point. And one of the most common questions I get is about static pages. “Can I just create a static sales page?” “Where’s a good place to put a FAQ without a discussion around it?” You can likely argue the validity of these questions in most scenarios. The main response being “just close the topic.” But that doesn’t cut it for most. Thus, I decided to create this plugin to make it possible. It’s pret…

DiscPage: a plugin to create static pages and insert discussion balloons in the text

With DiscPage, you create static pages by adding the “Page” category to any topic. You can then insert balloon icons, to allow users to discuss subsections of the page. [image] See the old demo the new demo and the repo.

If I may so bold to bump this topic, I’ve been researching to create some sort of static page to embed fTELNET client on - has there been any further development or will embedded js script work with DiscPage or ProCourse?
