While I am rebuilding one of my xoops-sites I would like to redirect my visitors to another of my sites. What is the best way to do this to get the quickest redirection as possible?

I might have to reinstall this xoopssite so i would prefer a solution outside of XOOPS itself.

The easiest way is to rename your XOOPS index.php file to something else (say xoops_index.php) and then just create a index.html page with the following:

Once you're ready to "restore" your XOOPS site then all you have to do is rename the xoops_index.php file back to index.php, delete index.html and you're "back" to where you started.

NOTE: Renaming the index.php file may not be necessary depending on the server settings as the server may execute .html files before .php but the above will work in either case.

Another way to accomplish this is to clone your default template set and make it active. Then edit the cloned system_siteclosed.html file by adding
just before the BODY tag.

My personal favorite way is to make a change at the host control panel (I use cpanel). If you'd like to see an example of how that works you can go to:

http://samidiabmd.com which will redirect you to http://drdiab.info

I have no code on either site simply a redirect (auto-forward) at the host.
