    Can't target a notice to the "Home" page

    The Home Page is not really a Channel, but an Activity Module displaying the forums and other modules on that page, or so I've been told.

    I wanted to target the "default_guest_message" which tells you you may need to register or log-in to just that page, and all of the child forums. I don't want it to appear on some of my other custom pages that have no content you need to register for. But this seems not possible.

    If I edit the Notice in the Notices Manager, I can choose "User is browsing channel [Forums] or one of its child channels", and this indeed works to put that notice in Forums and everything under it (and removes it from my custom pages - so far so good.) But not on the Home Page. And the Home Page is not in the list of pages/channels you can choose.

    Even if I wanted to make a special notice to appear on the Home Page only, it seems not possible, unless I'm missing something...

    Use an announcement. They can be targeted specifically to the Home Page.

      Announcements are an option. You can also hide it with CSS using something like:
      .pageXX [data-notice-id='1'] {display:none;}

      The XX would be the page id. This can be seen in the source code within the body tag like:
      <body id="vb-page-body" class="l-desktop [B]page69[/B] vb-page view-mode" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage" data-usergroupid="6" data-styleid="3" data-gr-c-s-loaded="true" cz-shortcut-listen="true">

        Thanks for the suggestions. But it would seem to be an oversight that you can't target a notice specifically to the Home Page, especially since there is a JIRA about getting rid of announcements and simply replacing them with notices:



        I added a comment to it referencing this discussion.
