HI,
i want to create a new landing page other than homepage. With no breadcrumbs or article. Just modules.

How can I do that?

It depends how you have set-up your site. Looking at the demo the quick start installation wouldn't use gkMainbody on the home page as it's comprised entirely of modules. I haven't used that template so I maybe wrong on that. You could take a look at the template parameters...

Basic Settings:
Main Body - FrontPage > Options > Component only, Mainbody only etc.

it says Main Body - FrontPage "Mainbody Only"
but how does that matter?
I want a new page just like homepage with different modules. You can call it a landing page

It matters because it allows you to determine what elements are active and their order on the home page.
Mainbody Only
Component Only
Mainbody Before Component
Mainbody After Component

You can only have one home page (landing page/default). You can use an extension to redirect different logged in user groups to different pages which could be set-up differently to the actual home page.

If your problem is creating a menu link without an article being displayed you could create a hidden menu with a place holder article assigned to it. That will give you a menu item to assign modules to then you need to hide the Mainbody to get rid of the article. Here is a method to achieve that...

You will need to download and install the Custom CSS Module by Hyde-Design. Once installed paste this code in the Custom CSS field...
Code: Select all
Code: Select all
    /* Custom CSS */
    #gkMainbody {
    display: none;
    }

Assign the module to a position and use the menu assignment option to target the required pages. If you need more control over the assignment you can install nonumber advanced module manager, if you haven't already installed it. Publish the module and visit the assigned pages.

The meta data for the page you select will be part of the page header content. Each time you create a new area of the site like this you should create a new place holder with unique meta data. View the page source to see how the page is effected using this technique.

Another way would be to use a loadmodule plugin either the core or nonumber loadmodule can be used to load modules inside an article. This would allow you to create an article which is made up of modules rather than content.

There are probably other ways to achieve a similar result.

I may have misunderstood the problem you have in which case could you explain your goal in more detail.
