Title: Simple Front Door for Coppermine
Post by: zzapper on March 06, 2006, 01:16:42 pm

Hi,
Sorry I expect this is an old chestnut. I usually put CPG onto a sub-domain eg album.somedomain.co.uk , But I'd really like to install a frontdoor so that I can explain to visitors what they can do eg Slideshow, ecards etc, trouble is CPG expects to be it's own homepage.

Ideas pls

Option 1): use anycontent
Option 2): send your users to a splash page first

You can put the splash page in a file called index.html. If your server is set up to prioritize index.html files, then anyone who goes to the subdomain will see the static file. Otherwise, you would need to modify .htaccess if you use apache so that it explicitly looks for index.html rather than index.php
