Adding a flat index.html page above my blog/site (3 posts)

    I have created a site and custom theme to achieve a certain look and feel and functionality as requested by client.

    The theme utilizes the new static home page element as well as numerous pages which are used for static content. All is working fine

    http://www2.onesourcevms.com

    Now the issue. I have been asked by the client to add a flash splash intro page that would sit before the user reaches the home page (and use cookies or something to move them directly to the index.php page when they have seen it once.

    Can i just create an index.html file at the root of my site, place the flash splash file there, and make modifications on how the webserver processes requests for the domain..serving index.html before index.php etc?

    I dont have access to the web server to make any modifications so i want to be sure that what i am proposing will work in theory.

    Thoughts?

    your plan sounds workable.

    Something like this is the .htaccess file at the root

    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
