I have a question to do with my site. I was wondering which way would be most efficient to have a “front page” like Dave’s at Eastern Virtual? I don’t mean his layout (which is nice) but rather having a page before the index.php. (Just like an enter page)
Like a splash page? I guess putting phpvms in its own directory. There might be some htaccess trick, or if your host looks for index.html before index.php, ask them, depends on their http.conf setting (ask them what order its looks for a default page)
yeah, I guess a splash page would be it. I know it’s index.php before index.html (I tried that a while ago). Would I be able to move my files into a folder now without screwing things up?
Ask your host if they can flip that around for you first, usually it’s not a big deal since it’s an entry in the virtual host section which is already setup for you (I know my host has done it for me).
To move it, no, just move the files and change the SITE_URL in the core/local.config.php, as well as in your skin files
