Set default map

[Chris Ward]

Hi Everyone,

Is there a way to set the default map that is displayed when going to the base URL? Currently, when going to the index page, it shows "explore trees" in the top nav-bar, but the bottom, under the OTM logo, is blank. My instance of OTM will only include one map, and I would like for this map to be shown automatically when a user visits the site. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Chris

One simple way to get the behavior you are looking for is to add a redirect to your nginx configuration. Below is an example from my development environment. The bold block is the statement I added to redirect the root url to the map page. You would need to replace "philly" with your map name.

location /static/ {

  alias /usr/local/otm/static/;

}

location /media/ {

alias /usr/local/otm/media/;

}

location = / {

  return 302 $scheme://$http_host/philly/map/;

}

location / {

  proxy_set_header Host $http_host;

  proxy_redirect off;

  if (!-f $request_filename) {

    proxy_pass http://app;

    break;

  }

}

Awesome, thanks! I was trying to play with rewrites in the django urls file, but that wasn't getting me far at all. Completely forgot about the nginx router.
