These documentation pages are no longer maintained. Please visit the new documentation site.
The default configuration (for the TSCM site) displays the eZ publish default welcome page. However, this is not the desired behaviour. We will change the default display to the welcome article that we just created. Therefore we have to perform the following steps:
Finding the ID of the node we want to display
In the administration interface, hover the mouse pointer over the article that you just created (titled "Welcome to the TSCM website!"). The text with the Node ID and Visibility will appear.
Make a note of this Node ID.
Changing the default node
Bring up the "settings/siteaccess/tscm/site.ini.append.php" file in an editor. Add to the SiteSettings section the following line:
IndexPage=/content/view/full/[NodeID]"
Replace [NodeID] for the node (only the number, no square brackets) of your article.
If you browse the site now, you will see something like this:
eZ publish will display the desired node using the standard template for the "Article" content class. The following section describes how to create and use a custom template.

If you were following the tutorial instead of the delightful suggestion to use the Admin Panel, I bet you'd have to flush the INI cache. (I'm starting to form a picture here)
Great!! Well done, but it does not appear!
