Landing Page

[gislander]

Hello: I have read postings about creating a landing page. I tried modifying the .htaccess and also a 301 redirect with no luck? I want a different page to load like a greeting page(index.html or page created within Osclass software theme) with a link to the main page (main.php). My site is sawthatad.com and would like https://sawthatad.com/my_home-p21 as the main page with link on it to org main page. Thanks for any help!

One option for doing this would be to have your OSClass installation in a sub-directory. Then in your home directory you could still have a standard index.html (.php or whatever) file as your "landing page". You could then just link to the osclass sub directory.

That's one way to do it at least without any OSClass modifications.

this function is a must for osclass.

i think this function should be integrated to osclass as a built-in function.

a function that lets an admin create a new page and insert a link in the nav bar for the newly created link.

where, creating a new page and link shall be done in the admin page of osclass.

@cosmicx
All these are already done by OSClass by default

Hello Rafl,

may you guide us to find where we found 'how to do it'? I've only found the same solution as Jesse has written,

thx

Jesse is right and I would do as he suggests.

These are already done when creating pages:

a function that lets an admin create a new page and insert a link in the nav bar for the newly created link.

where, creating a new page and link shall be done in the admin page of osclass.

so, maybe, a turnaround with .htaccess could throw a chosen page as the homepage.. Just a thought

thx for your reply

A search got me this (from www. kirupa. com)

When somebody types the URL to your site, more than likely, the index.htm or similar page like default.html will load first. The file that gets loaded as your default page is something you can change using the DirectoryIndex setting:

Code: [Select]

DirectoryIndex file.htm
With the above setting, users will load file.htm by default when they visit your site. For your cases, replace file.htm with the name of your default page. This will ensure that the page you specified gets loaded when a user types in the URL to your site.

So, it's kind of possible to apply to the OSClass htaccess file as well(?). But I didn't tested it.

@b3b380
In my understanding, the subject here was about a landing page. Anybody corrects me.
A page to show as homepage when users are accessing the domain (/index.php or /).

It appears you are referring to canonicals redirects, which maybe is not the same thing  but thanks anyway
