I am trying to make my flash intro come up first not xoops. But when i make the intro say index.htm and make IIS load that first not Index.php it loads the intro blah blah then if you press Home in XOOPS it replays the intro...not what i want. I have edited it to go tohttp://www.siteurl.com/index.php instead ofhttp://www.siteurl.com but it shows a blank page...? Any ideas? on how to make this work...

Go to System Admin>Templates>[Cloned template name]/system/system_block_mainmenu.html

Edit to add folowing red colored text, save and your done. (If thats not the correct spot, play around and check the results.)

The only time someone will see your intro is when they go to yoursite.com. When they cllick on "Home" in Xoops, they will go to the index.php I've done this on earlier versions of my site and it works.

<table cellspacing="0">

<tr>
<td id="mainmenu"> <a class="menuTop" href="<{$xoops_url}>">/index.php<{$block.lang_home}></a>
<!-- start module menu loop -->
<{foreach item=module from=$block.modules}> <a class="menuMain" href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/<{$module.directory}>/"><{$module.name}></a>
<{foreach item=sublink from=$module.sublinks}> <a class="menuSub" href="<{$sublink.url}>"><{$sublink.name}></a>
<{/foreach}> <{/foreach}>
<!-- end module menu loop -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>

i was looking for a way to show it once then skip it everytime that users comes back, and show for new users...like a guess making a cookie, this may be too much, so i may just forget the intro....

I did the /index.php and it works THANK YOU!!!!

but would like to skip for repeat visitors!

For repeat visitors, I guess you have to do some cookie thing. I've never touched a cookie in my life so I have no clue where to get started on that. You could do it with Javascript, but I'm not too fond of that idea.

Glad you guys got your intro page sorted out, I know how important that can be from a design perspective for Advertising, Media & Graphic types.

<script>
<!--

// page to go to if cookie exists
go_to = "http:// www. YOURDOMAIN .com";

// number of days cookie lives for
num_days = 60;
function ged(noDays){
    var today = new Date();
    var expr = new Date(today.getTime() + noDays*24*60*60*1000);
    return  expr.toGMTString();
}

function readCookie(cookieName){
    var start = document.cookie.indexOf(cookieName);
    if (start == -1){ 
        document.cookie = "seenit=yes; expires=" + ged(num_days);
    } else {
        window.location = go_to;
    }
}

readCookie("seenit");
// -->
</script>


Changing days to hours

If you would like the cookie to expire immediately or in a matter of hours or minutes, you can make the following modifications :

To have the cookie expire immediately, set the num_days variable to a negative number. Eg.

num_days = -1;

To have the cookie expire in a matter of hours, remove the *24 from the ged (Get Expiration Date) function. The num_days = 5; variable will now be the number of hours. For your information, the rest of the figures mean, times 60 seconds, times 60 minutes, times 1000 milliseconds.


***make sure to replace and close up the yourdomain.com .. it was expanded so it would show in the code window...

I have a similar question but I'm not even as far along.
I have a flash intro I'd like everyone to see before entering the site. How do I do this since the flash intro is index.php as is the homepage?

Also,
When I edited the system_block_mainmenu.html adding "index.php. The "Home" button on the main menu is now labeled "index.php". How do I fix this?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tom

Anyone? To clearify, I have a simple flash intro I'd like everyone to see when they go to my site but once they're at the site I don't want the flash intro to appear everytime they hit the "home" button on the main page.

Is there a way to have some other file open, other then root/index.php when someone goes to www.myurl.com and then have the flash intro open my homepages index.php afterwards?

Any idea's would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom
