I want to change the HTML content displayed on the Home Tab during a new install.

I can do this by changing the file...

\Web\Data\MessageTemplates\en-US-InitialSiteHomeContent.config

but I don't like changing core mojoPortal Code.

I am using the info here Configuring Initial Content and it is great.  I have added 3 pages with custom features during setup and my SQL runs fine.

I would just do an update to the database  table mp_HtmlContent on the Body text field but adding the default page and html is that last process run in a new setup and my scripts all run before this.

Can I create my own default content page so the setup script will not create one on the last step of the setup?

Thanks

Rick

Joe D is right, changing config files is not like forking the C# code, it is a maintenance issue much like custom Web.config settings that have to be restored after upgrades but it is safe if not convenient.

But in this case an even better solution is replacing the file(s) in /Setup/initialcontent/pages with your own configuration files, you can have more than one page created on setup, you are not limited to one. You could use a post build event in a custom project to replace the 1 file in /Setup/initialcontent/pages or just manually replace it before deployment.

for more info see

I use this on the demo site to create a set of pages instead of just a home page when I recreate the site.

Best,

Joe
