We are using Plone 4.2 (but problem applies to earlier versions as well).
We have a folder called news containing all our news items, and have a News tab in the navigation to go to the News default .
We set the default front page of our site to our News folder, by configuring Zope Management Interface -> Plone site at / -> Properties -> default_page. This works as every time a user first goes to our site or clicks on the Site title at the top of our site, he will see the News default view. However, there is no “Add new” menu at the top of this News default view. When the user clicks on the News tab of navigation, the News default view has the “Add new” menu for user to add new news item to the folder.
Is it possible to make the default front page of the site show the same display as the News tab of the navigation?
Thank you very much in anticipation.

On siteroot add a contenttype ‘Link’, enter a title of your choice and set the destination to ‘/yourSiteId/yourNewsFolderId’, make sure it is published, set the Link as default-view of your site.
