Hi Friends,

I am new to liferay and i wanna customize welcome page before signing in

please let me know the steps to follow.
i would like if i can do it using portal-properties file.
if there is any other method please let me know..
thanks in advance.
any idea or suggestions are welcome..

What exactly do you mean by welcome page?

Landing page where url will get redirected to localhost:8080/web/guest

and I am not finding where this web/guest is located in and how to redirect to my own home page

Hi Jyoti,

You can achieve this by writing PostLoginAction hook.

/web/guest is liferay url and not any direct page.

localhost:8080/web/guest already points to home page. Goto Control Panel > Manage Pages. set your required page as home page by dragging it to first location.

Override below property in portal-ext.properties file. Place the portal-ext.properties file in ROOT/WEB-INF/classes


where:
/web/guest/my-landing-page is path to your page where you want users to land after login. /web/guest is reference to default guest(liferay) community, and not url to any actual page. After the community url, you need to provide friendly-url of your landing page (my-landing-page), which is actual liferay page.

You can achieve the same by login as administrator and go to Control Panel -> Portal (tab/section) -> Settings -> Default landing page and set value "/web/guest/my-landing-page"

kind regards,
