Version: 2.1.5
CMSMS Version: 2.1.5
Severity: Minor
Resolution: Fixed
State: Open
Summary:
Taking the default page down by accident through the content type
Detailed Description:
How to:
Edit the default page ('home' as example).
The list-box for content type is fully accessible - even though it's the default
page.
Change the content type to 'section header'.
No warning appears.
Save.

Now your site is only accessible by a sub-URL — the main URL (example.com/ or
example.com/index.php) will be answered 404.
Enabling debug mode doesn't help finding the error and also there is no error
report like if there was a syntax error.

I can't decide how severe this is. Probably severe but very rare?
Thanks!

Suggestion - js to block inappropriate type-change:  
$('#content_type')
   .data('lastValue', $('#content_type').val())
   .on('change', function(ev) {
     if ($('#defaultcontent').val()) {
       var ts = $(this),
        v = ts.val();
if
(['errorpage','sectionheader','separator','pagelink','link'].indexOf(v) !==
false) {
         //invalid type
         v = ts.data('lastValue'); // revert value
         ts.val(v);
         cms_notify('error', $msg2);
         ev.stopImmediatePropagation();
         ev.preventDefault();
         return false;
       }
     }
   });

$msg2 (to be translated)
'The content type selected is invalid'
and related popup help message
'The content-type determines the overall function of a page. Some types are used
for displayable pages, other types are for links or other navigation functions.
The default page must be a displayable type.'
