NYCPHP Meetup

[Peter Sawczynec]

For what it is worth:
I have put an inline frame in the midst of the index.php Home Page.
The web page in the inline frame has a JavaScripted cookie script that
tracks whether the 
user has seen the inline page with the Flash "Splash" movie. 
If they have seen the "Splash", the script loads a different ordinary page
in the inline frame.
Additionally, the cookie script can be set to show the Flash "Splash" once
per session,
once per day, once per year, etc.
It has been quite flexible because the movie page and/or the ordinary page
can be PHP pages delivering
dynamic content within the dynamic parent index.php.

Subject: [joomla] Splash page


Would like to make a splash page inside Joomla!  This would greet the user
after http://www.joomlasite.com with a simple "enter button" or skip intro
link.  After that, the menu buttons would refer to the index.php?option=....
Is there a best practice way to do this?  I would prefer to keep the splash
within the Joomla framework as opposed to naming it index.html and asking
Apache to serve index.html up first.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

TIA,

Mark
