    html over php

    Posted 15 years 10 months ago
    • hi, I was just wondering, is there any way I can make it so that when someone goes to www.inthemixx.info they see an html splash page and not the index.php of my joomla installation.

      I know this can be done, I just don´t know how.

      I´m on a GoDaddy Server. Any help would be appreciated.

    • Try creating an index.html with your "splash stuff" and put it in the Joomla root.
    • Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.

    • Maybe you can tinker with .htaccess or try with changing the var_live site in configuration.php

    • Have you tried index.htm instead of index.html, I use this method all the time and it works.

      You can try default.html and main.html too, I remember a while back the hosting company I was hosted with used default.html over index.html

    • Wouldn't he have to move his joomla installation to another directory though? Otherwise clicking your "default" menu item would send users back to the splash page instead of the joomla site's homepage... right?

    • well yeah, but you could create a script using cookies, if they visit site, it goes to index.html, gives user a cookie, and displays whatever

      then next time it goes to that page, checks for it, if it exists, forward to index.php

      did that a while ago, fairly easy with javascript
