Since phpFox 4.7.1, the Home page of the Material template can be configured with custom blocks easily. Let's take a look some samples of the Home page of the Material template
You can have the Home page with 1-column, 2-column or 3-column layout.
Note: 2 Welcome and User Sign up for Guests blocks should be configured in the same block area (column). We recommend putting these blocks in Block Area 2.
You can put some custom blocks such as the site-related statistic, sponsored content or featured members, etc. in these block areas. In this example, we opt to Featured Members block, so visitors can see who are active on your community as the image above.
The new block will show up in the Block list of Homepage (core.index-visitor).
The block area 2 should be used for the main content of the Landing page since it will get more focus on visitors. By default, you can use Welcome and User Sign up for Guests in this block area. The Welcome block can show the main photos, and User Sign up for Guests block is to display the Registration form.
Done! Now you have a completed Homepage for your site with rich content due to custom blocks!
