Laura Wizard Joined: 01/29/05 Posts: 1236	04/29/08 12:08 AM David., This didn't make it to version 1.0. I am actually thinking that it may be better to do a plugin instead (or at least for now).

Nerveman Joined: 04/27/08 Posts: 16	06/13/08 9:05 AM Hi Laura, Have you made any progress on this plugin? I'm only pushing this as I see so much potential for MangoBlog to be used as a simple CMS (my clients would love it!) and this feature is a must for this to be possible. Also, are you available to work on MangoBlog projects on a contract basis? Please email at david.crowther [at] nervecentral [dot] com if interested. Many thanks, David Crowther http://nervecentral.com

You can download from http://www.mangoblog.org/downloads/homeChooser_and_updates.zip In addition to the plugin itself, you need a small update in PageManager.cfc, a file that I've included in the zip. I also included other updates, that are not needed for the plugin, but I thought it would be nice to have (part of version 1.2)
