Sites default page question
Hi,
I have a Sites website with two subsites. If the user navigates to the root, they receive an under construction error.
Say if my sites address is this: companyname.force.com/abc and i have one more subsite as companyname.force.com/def
If I type in the root, (companyname.force.com/) it gives me the following error
http://companyname.force.com/def/ is under construction
How to get rid of this. One suggestion is to build a VF page which would get displayed at the root and have abc and def as two links
Pls. let me know what is a better option?
do you really need two sites or you need a site with directory structure?
Options are:
- create a site with no path(which will be your root site then you can have pages under this site "abc" and "def" - if you don't need abc and def as paths
- keep your existing sites but again create a new site with no path and redirect to one of these sites when sme one browses the root site via the root site active home page
I am a site newbie, so pardon if answers to my questions seem to be really obvious.
I still need two sites. those 2 sites cater to 2 different audiences. But I dont want the user to be presented with a under construction page when he goes to root.
Is creating a new site is the only option
Can I create a Visual force page and 2 links to each subsites. If i create a VF page, in which sub site should it reside
Also how would I say the newly created VF page is what should be displayed when a user traverses to the root
Thanks
the new page with 2 links (alternatively page can redirect to one of the sites you have by default) would reside in the new site you would create (/ site with no path)
alternatively you can mask your site default urls with a custom url like (www.abc.com would mask xx.force.com/abc, and www.def.com would mask xxx.force.com/def sites) so you won;'t see this issue
Thanks Bullent for the detailed reply.
I like your second option, but I can't seem to find where the site default URLS would be.
Is this the setting you are referring to
Default Web Address
when I click on setup-> sites-> and click on the site label?
The default web site does have an entry like companyname.force.com/abc and companyname.force.com/def already
Hi
How would I create a site with no path?
when you create new site leave the path part of the default site url blank.
You can only have one site without a path
