Hi,
sometimes, i'd like to have a pure HTML frontpage (intro/splashscreen), when a user opens the URL http://www.blabla.com ... On this page, there would be a link/redirect to the "Home"page of Exponential (Root node).
As Exponential uses a default siteaccess, http://www.blabla.com current is the same as http://www.blabla.com/defsiteaccesname . Thus, i was thinking to tell the webserver:
"If someone requests / from this virtual host, server the static page. If not, process with the rewrite rule, which will redirect almost anything to index.php".
But i couldn't figure out, which rules would do this.
A second idea was to use the Directoryindex directory to send the browser to the static HTML frontpage (probably index.html), if nothing is specified after the / .
But i think, this also will need some new rewrite rule (part) to allow bypassing the index.php. So... How do i do this? Yes, I'm aware, that the issue also applies to any stylesheet or graphics, that this frontpage will use, but i'd store these things in the "allowed" Exponential design directories.
