Wrapping home page

I want to wrap an active html page -- one already active on the internet -- into my home page; that is, make it the landing page when people come to my XOOPS site.

However, I want still want the home page link button on my site to go to my orginal home page. I just don't want the orginal XOOPS home page to be the domain landing page.

How do I do this?

Thanks

I'm not 100% sure what you need, but I think curl may do the job for you, see curl

As long as libcurl is installed on the server, you can then use curl to retrieve the 'acyive html page' that is on the internet (no doubt some other site, that's okay).

Just read up on the FAQ, about the php code need to wrap as header and footer to make it your main page.

The way i did this was:
If you put your XOOPS site in to a sub folder eg XOOPS so it would be mysite/xoops. So if you put the page you want to be your first page in to the top level directory and rename it to index.htm so the server picks it up as the start page. Then in your main XOOPS site if you go to Mainfile.php and where you have your XOOPS root url change this so it includes the /xoops sub directory and now XOOPS will refresh to the origanal start page but you will see your new page when you first go to the site


If you want to get your new page to automaticaly refresh to the XOOPS site just add this little bit of code in to the html
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.mysite.com/xoops">


CONTENT="0 number of seconds before refresh

That looks neat, Dave, but is any of the content on the main page, from an external site/url ?

I _think_ that is what ' riclanders' wants ??
