Will setting a blog holder as the home page cause any issues? By default archives are listed off the blog holder page (although viewing archives doesn't function correctly at present); is it safe to assume these will still work with the holder as the site's home page?

Thanks for any and all help.

Should work fine. I do the same for my site (Home page is a blog holder)

Good to know before getting too far. Thanks.

A couple of further questions.

Firstly, the Archives don't work - a 404 page is shown. Is this due to having the blog holder as the home page?

Secondly, How do we show less than 1 month's entries on the home page? The site has up to 3-4 news stories a day added, and to show a whole month's entries would result in a huge home page. We'd like to keep 15-20 entries (perhaps a week?) on the front page if possible.

This is paginating to 10 entries, which works well. However any clues on the archives? Does this work on your site willr?

SightUnseen - have a look at this ticket http://open.silverstripe.org/ticket/4165

			if($isMonthDisplay) {
				$link = $container->Link() . $sqlResult['Year']. '/' . sprintf("%'02d", $monthVal);
			} else {
				$link = $container->Link() . $sqlResult['Year'];
			}
	

are lines 99-106 in our install, which differ slightly from the original lines in the diff. I assume the following should work:

Replace:

$link = $container->Link() . $sqlResult['Year']. '/' . sprintf("%'02d", $sqlResult['Month']);

with:

$link = $container->Link($sqlResult['Year']. '/' . sprintf("%'02d", $sqlResult['Month'])); 

Thanks for the help thus far too; appreciated.

Can anyone help? Tried the code, and it doesn't seem to work.
