Views
Views for the front page are defined in the theme views/Front directory. Thefront_page_html.php view
is used to generate the front page. Other views may added to support additional home pages accessible using alternative
URLs.
View Variables
The following variables are defined for front page views:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| config | A object providing access to the front.conf configuration file |
| result_context | The current ResultContext object |
| featured_set | The code of the set to display |
| featured_set_id | The internal set_id value of the set to display |
| featured_set_item_ids | The item list for the current set as an array of set item ids |
| featured_set_items_as_search_result | The item list for the current set as an iterable SearchResult object |
Defining and Referencing Alternative Front Pages
Any number of "front" pages may be defined. The page defined in views/Front/front_page_html.php will always be used
as the default, loading whenever the site is referenced at its root (Eg. https://example.com). Additional front pages may be
loaded using the site URL with Front/<view name> appended, where <view name> is the name of the view
without the "_html.php" suffix. For example, if a view named alternate_html.php is defined in the theme's views/Front directory
it can be loaded using a URL such as https://example.com/Front/alternate.
