[HowTo] Change to a "default" Drupal front page

This is by design.

Bluemasters uses a custom front-page template which has a number of block regions...

Read the documentation here:

http://wiki.morethanthemes.com/index.php?title=Blue_Masters_7.x

If you want the normal drupal front page (you'll lose the slideshow without making changes to the theme):

Remove the "page--front.tpl.php" file from the theme directory.

If you want the normal drupal front page (AND the slideshow/banner on ALL pages):

Open file: "template.php"

Change:

if (drupal_is_front_page()) {
drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('theme', 'bluemasters') . '/js/bluemasters.js');
}

To:

drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('theme', 'bluemasters') . '/js/bluemasters.js')

Open file: "page.tpl.php"

Find:
</div><!--EOF:header-->

After, add:

<div id="banner">
    <?php print render($page['banner']); ?>
</div><!--EOF:banner-->

Remove file: "page--front.tpl.php"

Create an HTML block (Admin/Structure/Blocks/Add)

Insert:

<div class="main_view">
  <div class="window">
    <div class="image_reel">
      <a href="#">
        <img src="<?php print base_path() . drupal_get_path('theme', 'bluemasters') . '/images/slide-image-3.jpg'; ?>">
      </a>
      <a href="#">
        <img src="<?php print base_path() . drupal_get_path('theme', 'bluemasters') . '/images/slide-image-2.jpg'; ?>">
      </a>
      <a href="#">
        <img src="<?php print base_path() . drupal_get_path('theme', 'bluemasters') . '/images/slide-image-1.jpg'; ?>">
      </a>
    </div>
    <div class="descriptions">
      <div class="desc" style="display: none;">Our Portfolio</div>
      <div class="desc" style="display: none;">Creation of Beaches</div>
      <div class="desc" style="display: none;">About iPadMasters</div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="paging">
   <a rel="1" href="#">1</a>
   <a rel="2" href="#">2</a>
   <a rel="3" href="#">3</a>
  </div>
</div>

Assign the block to the "banner" region.
