Hi, I am building a site using joomla and a template. What I am trying to do is create a landing page which will come up first when the site is visited and 5 seconds later, the landing page redirects to the index.php page. I thought if i rename name index.php to index1.php in joomla and have the landing page named index.php would work but it didn't, the link structure in joomla broke. If anyone can help, I would greatly appriciate it, maybe using .htaccess might work. Thank you!
I just answered this question in the PHP sub forum. thread "1066112" (i can't post live links here yet) You can't redirect after 5 seconds unless you use a meta refresh or some javascript. For javascript check out the "settimeout" function built in. (and 5000 ms = 5 seconds)
