"ENTER HERE" page

[mamai]

Being quite new to all this I hope someone can help me!!

 

I would like to have a page which only has an image and a "Click here to enter" button on it which would come up before the index page/front page.

 

I have created the page with a link to my site, I just don't have a clue where or how to go about inserting it.

 

Any help would be appreciated :blush:

 

Also is there a way of adding an mp3 file to my website so that when you go to my site it plays that particular song, preferably without a player showing on the page????

You could try to name it index.html and stick it in your store directory and see if it comes up.

 

If that doesn't work you could change the name of you index.php to something like home.php. Then open up /includes/filenames.php and find this line:

define('FILENAME_DEFAULT', 'index.php');

And change it to:

define('FILENAME_DEFAULT', 'home.php');

Then your index.html should come up first.

 

You could also change the name of you index file with an .htaccess or your hosting companys control panel to something like home.html. Then name your intro page to home.html and it would show up as default.

If you change catalog/index.php to home.php then you will probably also have to go to catalog/includes/languages/english/ and change index.php to home.php

This is the besy way of doing it - Is your store in the root or sub directory of the site?

Are you absolutely sure you want a "click here to enter" page? They annoy a lot of users (me, for example) and often reduce your search engine rankings.

Just save this enter page as index.html or htm and put it in the root directory for your site. index.html or htm always takes precedence over .php so people will land on the html page first then click enter and go to your index.php.

Thanks for all your help so far. I'm getting there!

 

I have saved my "ENTER" page as .htm now where do I go to add it to my "root directory" and how? :sweating:

 

Step by step explanation would be great (I'm finding this whole website thing quite scary!!)
