I read the section about separation of gallery and index page and understand everything up to the point of 'Set the custom index page option to gallery and your are all set.'
How can i set the custom index page option to gellery for example in the default theme?

I tryed the effervescence theme and have gallery index page link set to gallery so that indexpage.php would be the automatic home page for the site.
Is there a way to make the home page a zenpage page?
so that the content could be controlled from within admin. I want the home page to be multi lingual with content blocks pulled in from a zenpage page. Is this possible or is there some other way around this so i can have the home page multi lingual with somehow content in the admin for each language.
I hope you know what i mean.
It would be great to have a feature to have a home page that is not the gallery and the content controlled within admin.
Thanks
`checkForPage($titlelink);`
Where $titlelink is the `titlelink` of the "page" you want to display.
Note, the Zenpage theme provides an example of this complete with the option to select the page--the `Homepage` option.
If i create for example a zenpage page with the name 'home' and that would be used as the site home page then i would have for example www.mysite.com/ as well as www.mysite/pages/home with the same content. I suppose this could be sorted with canonical.
I looked at canonical in the html. I have html_meta_tags switch on with canonical ticked and see that the canonical then points to www.mysite.com/en/page/gallery/ so basiclly my home page canonical in the source code is pointing to my gallery page.
Also On the sitemap is www.mysite.com/en_US/ and www.mysite.com/sk_SK/ as site is multi lingual.
I think this can potentially cause problems with SEO.
Is there some way to sort this out?
http://www.mysite.com/pages/gallery/ is actually the gallery index url which is by default the home page. I agree that is unfortunate. But the homepage function is a theme based one so the system Zenphoto does not know about that. Reason is that not all themes do support Zenpage at all.
We would have to consult about that later on. I fear for the coming 1.4.4 release it is too late for new features or such change as that probably would have to be tied into the core.
In any case please open a ticket on the GitHub issue tracker.
Would there be any way to remove the canonical on the home page and custom make it on the home page but still have it working on the other pages with html_meta_tags?
Any idea when the 1.4.4 will be ready?
one question regarding urls. I see that the language urls that are clicked on are not displayed in the browser. Is it possible to have them displayed in the browser so instead of the same url being displayed for each language like mysite.com/zen-photo, that the clicked on url like mysite.com/zen-photo/sk would actually display mysite/zen-photo/sk. instead of reverting to mysite.com/zenphoto/ ?
Also do you know if the current setup of redirecting from mysite.com/zen-photo/sk/ to mysite.com/zen-photo/ is a problem for search engines if the mysite.com/zen-photo/sk/ is in the sitemap?
Again thanks for all your help.
