Why you don't rename index.html to something_else.html?

Because I want visitors to arrive into index.html and then they can choose static and cmsms part. In this case the home button direct me to the relative (index.html) path.
Excuse the question but: have you client that calling "directly" index.html? Very strange...
However you can do a http Redirect in .htaccess index.html -> something.html (if someone go directly in index.html)
and in your CMSMS "home" put a link to something.html for static page

No, I haven't... but I have clients (all) that call
http://mydomain.com/ and then they can choose between static part and cmsms part (different topic... situation came from the previous static site I had no time to convert cmsms) but when client get to cmsms part I want them to stay within it even they use home button. That is why I try to find how to set home button to
http://mydomain.com/index.php
I hope I was clear.

OK. This sounds simple. I'm going to basically summarize your problem so that I understand it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You want the user to come to the index.html page first. From the index.html page, the user will be able to choose a static site, or the CMSMS site. If the user chooses the CMSMS site, you need to ensure that when they click 'home' that it contains them within the CMSMS site.
Well, it should work for you that way anyway. When you click on a menu item within a CMSMS site (for instance "Events"), you should get an address that looks like: "
www.domain.com/[u]index.php?page="Events"[/u]. You see, the page is called via the index.php file. So the user will be contained within the CMSMS site automatically, and will never be redirected back to the index.html page unless they physically type "
www.domain.com" in the address bar.
I hope that I'm being helpful here. If you are hosting from a linux box, this is how it should work for you by default.

Now yes
it's not possible, you must hack code for this

Did some research and found that the order is default.html, index.html and index.php. Name the intro page default and redirect after intro is complete to index.php. All should be good. I've done it myself and it works great. Hope this helps.

Keep in mind that this is server/host specific, so these settings may not apply to every situation.

I agree and should have mentioned that. Thanks!

SchPeter, I may be overlooking something here but why don't you just recreate index.html in CMSMS, uncheck "Show in Menu" and set it as the default page?
I have something similar one one of my sites where there is a splash page (
www.mydomain.com), and the homepage is
www.mydomain.com/home (or, without pretty URLs:
www.mydomain.com/index.php?page=home).

That seens easy. like Ricko97 said:
1. Pick your custom home code and put it inside a template in CMSMS
2. Create a new Page and set the template within that you created previously, set to dont display on menu
3. On Content -> Pages, set this page as Default
I think that would work.

You actually don't need to create the static index.html in cms, because directory indexing will go to the index.html first.
You just need to set blank page (not shown in the menu so no one will go to it) as default.
Then the breadcrumbs/menumanager will use full address for the "home" page.

Thanks adjprog that was the logical solution I was seeking.
I had a 'splash' page at
www.mysite.com/index.html linking through to
www.mysite.com/index.php
Using the home (default) page link in the menu of CMSms sent the user back to the splash page (
www.mysite.com) which was not desireable.
Using adjprog's solution and changing the link from the splash to
www.mysite.com/index.php?home (or whatever) I was able to overcome the problem.

This works fine!
The standard page in CMSMS is now page 'redirect', not shown in the menu.
On my server index.php was the first page that showed. I made a .htaccess file with these lines:
Code: Select all
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php
</IfModule>
This made my static index.html page show first.
This page contains a link to
http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php?page=home
The Home button in the CMSMS menu also refers to this page.
Thanks ajprog!
