Hey Jay, why does this component add ?_discourse_homepage_rewrite=1 to the end of the URL of the page it redirects to?
And also, why does it display a more complex URL (i.e. mysite.com/t/blahblahblah/2343?_discourse_homepage_rewrite=1) instead of simply mysite.com?

I don’t know! I don’t know why that would be happening. No one with a budget has complained, but I’ll try to take a look.

Heads up that this is cAsE sEnSiTiVe for any amateurs (like me) who took it took an hour of testing to figure out why it wasn’t working.

It would be a nice touch to make it case-insensitive. It was a revelation to me when I discovered how to bake case-insensitivity into my Data Explorer queries!!!

I think it should be easy enough to do that, but not something I’m going to fix unless I’m fixing something else.

I think this workaround may be broken now. The homepage to permalink external URL I had on a test site broke a while back at some point. The permalink works, but the homepage feature now goes to the oops page for the group map setting. I haven’t had time to figure out why it broke yet, but presumably a core change somewhere.

I guess the full screen chat url is not compatible with the homepage url

like this, the page is not showing at the beginning, after clicks it shows the multiple top bar but nothing else
when I’m not going to full chat screen from the custom homepage, everything is normal

Are we able to add published paged topics as Custom Homepages?

You can try, but I think it should work.
I’ve had trouble lately with this theme component and the admin sidebar that I haven’t had time to debug just yet.

Hello!
First off, let me say thank you so much for this theme component. It’s incredibly helpful, and I wish there was something similar built into Discourse.
I’ve noticed a bug when setting the homepage to a category—if the category is set to “Show subcategory list”, then the subcategory list will not show on the first page load. This issue does not occur if you click the site logo or access the category directly.
Any thoughts on why this might be occurring? I took a look at the source code, but nothing stood out as problematic. I’m guessing it’s some nuance with how those subcategories are rendered.

Hey @Nathanael ! Sorry about that. Yes, I’ve noticed–though I think the problem I noticed had to do with something about the sidebar.
It hasn’t (yet!) bothered me enough to fix it and no one has offered a compelling reason (cash is an obvious one, but there could be others) to fix it. I think you’re the first person to complain, but I might just have forgotten.
If you’ve got cash or something else compelling, my email address is in my user card.
