How to set the front page to be the front page in Joomla - content-management-system

In Joomla how do I set the frontpage to be the front page (without being in the main menu). Currently whatever I set to be the default in the main menu is the first page, but I don't want the front page to be in the main menu.
this si the site

Solved it. I made the front page the first (default) page in main menu. Then I hid the main menu and made a new menu with things I want to be shown.

Another way is to do the same thing with one of the other menus or create a new menu..this way you have the flexibility of using your main menu on the front page

Attaching an ActiveX TreeView Control into a tabbed Access form

I have a tabbed form in Access and on one tab, I'd like to create an ActiveX TreeView object. When I go to build this object and drag it to the tab, it attaches itself to the general form instead of the tab. This puts the control over top of all the tabs instead of the tab I want it in.
How do I attach the ActiveX control to the tab and not the entire form?
I've done a number of different "moves" to try and get it to attach and I've looked through the options to see if there is an easy way to attach it but nothing actually defines how the control is attached unlike a normal Access form control that is contained in the tab.
I would like to keep the extra forms to a minimum and maintain a single, tabbed form with separate controls on each tab.
Answer:
Make sure to select the tab first and then create the TreeView control. TreeView controls cannot be attached to a tab page by drag/drop.
If done correctly, the control will be placed on the tab page just under the tab name within the borders of the tab page. A quick test by selecting other tabs can be done to check that it attached to the right tab and only that tab.

Web-site with two Composite per page. Due to bad design?

I'm creating a web-site using GWT for the first time. The aplication has two Composite class, one of them is a menu and the other one is where I show de info about the specific menu that has been clicked. I'm using MVP, the class History and the interface ChangeValueHandler to switch among different pages.
I have one pair presenter-view for each Composite. The app begins well creating the menu and the section info. When you click in the menu it works fine showing the information and the token browser is changed. The thing is that if you load a page(eg: myapp.com#register) without loading the home page, it doesn't show you the menu. It loads the Composite section info, but not the Composite menu (the Composite menu is load with myapp.com#home).
I think it's because of a bad design of the application, but I don't know how to do that in other way. If the app only had one Composite it wouldn't be a problem, but when there are 2 or more Composite per page I don't know how to manage the whole thing to work properly.
It's difficult to tell what exactly is wrong, because of the lack of code. So I'm guessing. You should design to act on the PlaceChangeEvent instead of the ValueChangeEvent. That means a menu click should fire the place change and then the application will handle this event. That way you unbind the menu actions from your content pages. And think more of each page as a separate entity. Also take a look at the GWT Activity mechanism and how it helps having a main page that is always the same and on that main page a content area that changes depending on the page actually shown.
You should include your menu in each page instead of creating it once in the home page and then keeping it on screen. I assume you create the menu and add it to the DOM via
RootPanel.get().add(myMenuWidget);
If you are using UIBinder it should be pretty straightforward to include the menu in each page, just a matter of adding the corresponding tag in each .ui.xml file of your pages.

What is the difference between disable a page and hide the page in the meu into Typo3 CMS?

I am pretty new in Typo3 world (I came from Joomla and WordPress) and I have a doubt related to well understand what is the difference between disable a page and hide the page in the menu in Typo3.
I have create a new test page and I don't want that now it appears in my left main menu.
So I click on the Access tab of this page settings and I tick the Hide (In Menus) "checkbox" so the page exist (I can access and see it using its URL) but don't appear in my main menu.
This is pretty simple but, near to the previous options, I also find the Disable (Page) checkbox. So I have try to tick this checkbox (instead of Hide (In Menus)) and happens something that I did not expect:
My test page appear again in my left main menu (I have no hide it but if I thought that if I disable a page, it is as if this page does not exist, evidently the typo3 operating logic is different from what I expect)
If, in my left main menu, I click on my test page link: the page is open but on the right top corner on the page appear to me the following textual message PREVIEW!
What it mean? I am logged as administrator, maybe the normal visitor can't see the disabled pages whereas administrator\editor see these pages? Or what?
Tnx
Andrea
Disable page = Nobody can see the page. The page is removed from the menu and it can't be accessed with the URL. You see it because you're logged into the backend. That is also why you see the red sticker 'Preview', because it is a preview.
Hide in menu = Page is hidden from the menu and the sitemap, however, it can be accessed with the URL.
Check the following documentation:
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/GettingStartedTutorial/
There is a very short mapping between TYPO3 and Joomla:
TYPO3 "disable" = Joomla "Unpublish Article"
TYPO3 "hide" = Joomla "Unpublish Menu Item"

Hyperlink to Eclipse editor page

I am trying to write an editor for a particular type of file in Eclipse which has multiple pages, just like the PDE editor.
How do I get a hyperlink in the main Overview page to point at one of the individual pages?
I've got the hyperlink drawn but I don't know how to link it to the actual page so that when a user clicks it, the page view changes.
Any ideas?
Follow this recipe:
Create the main page and all the sub pages
Add links
Add HyperlinkAdapter to the links using link.addHyperlinkListener()
In linkActivated() you can switch the page with formEditor.setActivePage(...)

Coda Slider Tab Navigation

I am using Coda-Slider for my website and I want to know if there is a way to change the content of each tab. For example, the user navigates onto tab2 where I placed a link to redirect the user to another page. Is there a way NOT to navigate away from the page nor the tab but instead load the link inside the tab? I was thinking it would look something like a modal box that would stay inside the tab instead of popping up.
see 19. Coda-Slider Sliding Tabs or you might want to try 35. JQuery IDTabs if you want the effect to be non-intrusive
