Ensure that visiting /admin ALWAYS directs to the pages/show/front new front page
Reported by Brian R Zaik | September 1st, 2009 @ 10:22 PM | in Concerto 1.9
When I visit http://concerto.rpi.edu/admin/
(or ROOT_CONCERTO_URL/admin/ in general), we need to ensure that it
always redirects to the Frontpage within the pages
controller.
When the code is all packaged up into a redistributable package, we also are probably going to have to automatically populate the database at install with a sample frontpage that can be used as the front page of the new Concerto Panel installation.

Could you clarify this a little? I'm not sure if what you're reporting is a bug with the current implementation or just a summary.
As for the 'redistributable' portion, I'm not sure I want to get into that just yet. The default Concerto installation still uses the index action of the frontpage controller. Enabling a fancy frontpage, because it is dependent on the deployment's database, requires a line in config.inc.php - see the commit here: r579. Essentially, an option in config.inc.php will cause any other view in the system to act as the frontpage, including a dynamic page.
We can always make the feature default in the future, but I'd like it to mature a bit first.

- State changed from “new” to “invalid”
For clarification, the DEFAULT_PATH config variable is needed to change the frontpage from the static view.
Example
define('DEFAULT_PATH', 'pages/show/front');I've done this in your working copy as a demonstration. Please reopen this ticket if any of the URLs fail.
EDIT: Fixed weird markdown.
