Description

Administration > Configuration > General allows you to set the default main page and default subpage. But what's the "default subpage"? And which values are allowed here. It looks like right now they can't be changed at all, see:

http://www.projectpier.org/node/2080

But wouldn't it be more user-friendly if this could be changed with a drop-down menu? Maybe make this a per-user option?

Hi there,

I had noticed the same thing, and made a change to the source code at some point recently. What I did was disable the first option, and made the second a drop-down. In effect, you are able to select any of the pages on the dashboard your start page.

Let me know whether you have a better idea how it should work.

The code to modify the functionality is available in my github repository:

I can confirm that this feature works well in the current devel.
