TYPO3 Core

As I wrote the TS-part of storagePid I thought about this ;-)

I don't know why I didn't think to suggest this for my last patch, but a much simpler solution would be to use the first item of the starting point instead of adding a storagePid flexform field as per the newly attached diff.

use StartingPoint:
To get your patch working, you need also to patch ext_tables.php and remove ",pages" on line 8, otherwise the startingpoint isn't displayed.
The idea sounds nice, but there could be a conflict with redirecting-features that we like to integrate. The starting point would also be a good place to define a page one is redirected to after login. And there could also be a confusion because the help-text of startingpoint reads in a part as follows (I know this is related to the login of the core):
" [...] The "Login" type content element also uses this field to direct the login to a certain page. [...] If you specify a second page in this list, the id will be passed to the login system as being the page inside TYPO3 where the database of users to look up is found. You should use this only if your template is not configured to pass this value on. [...]"

All good points Stefan. Sounds like the storagePid is a better alternative.
