Splash page

Hi maybe someone can help me

I just create a custom splash page with html for my site and now this is where I’m having little bit problem with maybe there is a step by step how to install it

1 where do I upload it to root or template?

2 how do I make it as the first page? So when people login to the site they going to see that

3 how can I have login to the site from site login and other 3 partly logins like Facebook and RPX to it what files do I need to change or get the codes from?

4 how can I have the join form on it as well what code do I need to use so it would show up on the splash page?

I’m sure there are a lot of people here that would love to make their own splash pages the way they like it or have it made by someone so if anyone can please help me with that it would be great

Thank you

Try reading this topic,

you can download HL's splash page and see how the redirect is done.

If you don't want to do that, you will need to edit your .htaccess to allow splash.html or whatever the page name is to be looked for first.

[edit] This is just an example, our .htaccess looks different, make backup's

... Apache looks for file names by default (in the order they appear):

index.html
index.htm
home.html
welcome.html

The .htaccess directive "DirectoryIndex" can be used to override this behavior. In your .htaccess file, type the following line:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

In the above example Apache is forced to look for index.php first and look for index.html only if there is no index.php file present.
