How can I create a page layout that I can use as my default page — for errors, or links to pages that aren’t represented in menu items? I don’t want my Home Page to be the default layout.

Thanks,
Geoff

(PS: sorry for the typo in subject!)

Hi

You can solve in this way

1) Create a new menu call it hiddenmenu
2) Create a new layout with all your desired blocks inside
3) Create a new profile with the layout selected
4) Create a new theme with your colors and images ( if you want )
5) Goto the hiddenmenu and make a new home and set this as default page
6) In template manager use the Page assignments to assign the home in the hidden menu at your new profile.

Now you will have your home not related to any menu and customized as you prefer

Thanks Pavit, but I don’t think this is quite what I am after. What I am looking for is a default page layout that is used for pages that don’t have associated menu items. Currently, for these pages it is displaying my home page, with carousals, etc. I just want a basic page layout for pages that aren’t in the menu.

I know Rockettheme has this as an option in its template setups. I’m using JA Community.

Possible?

thanks,
Geoff
