[SOLVED]Change Default Homepage

I can point you in the right direction, but this is probably going to involve some pretty heavy lifting on your part.

OJS functions with a MVC framework. The site index is generated via this page call:

pkp/ojs/blob/ojs-dev-2_4/pages/index/IndexHandler.inc.php#L75-L109


			$site =& Request::getSite();

			if ($site->getRedirect() && ($journal = $journalDao->getById($site->getRedirect())) != null) {
				$request->redirect($journal->getPath());
			}

			$templateMgr->assign('intro', $site->getLocalizedIntro());
			$templateMgr->assign('journalFilesPath', $request->getBaseUrl() . '/' . Config::getVar('files', 'public_files_dir') . '/journals/');

			// If we're using paging, fetch the parameters
			$usePaging = $site->getSetting('usePaging');
			if ($usePaging) $rangeInfo =& $this->getRangeInfo('journals');
			else $rangeInfo = null;
			$templateMgr->assign('usePaging', $usePaging);

			// Fetch the alpha list parameters
			$searchInitial = Request::getUserVar('searchInitial');
			$templateMgr->assign('searchInitial', $searchInitial);
			$templateMgr->assign('useAlphalist', $site->getSetting('useAlphalist'));

To change the site index, your changes would be local modifications to these files. If you are going to make local modifications, I highly recommend version control, such as git or Subversion, to manage the locals.
