I recently had a site completed (macedoniatx.com) with a custom flash intro. I, however, would like to have the intro show only once. The flash intro loads on macedoniatx.com and the homepage loades on macedoniatx.com/index.php.

I’ve tried creating a new HOME button as an external link and have it linked to the macedoniatx.com/index.php. However, when I make it the default and disabled the original home button, I get an error.

I would appreciate some tips on how to go around this. Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Sckavy,

I don’t think there is any solution to this issue. Its dependent on the server config…

An example of Directory index setting in apache server :

[PHP]</Directory>
#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory is requested.
#
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm
</IfModule>[/PHP]
So when you point to your domain >> macedoniatx.com >> the first index file is looked up (in this case index.php) and you see your joomla.

and when you point to >> macedoniatx.com/index.php << it is still the same.

Default item can not be a external link. It has to be any of the internal links, be it layouts or single page link.
