FP web sites

[Randall]

How do I make a introduction page that is not the home
page? I want this intro page to load then rederict to the
home page so long after loading or by clicking a link.

You have to make it the home page and rename your current home page to
something else.

However if you are using FP Navigation components, this is not going to
work. The solution then is have the ability to create subwebs under your
account (requires FP extensions), then you would publish your current site
to the subweb, and then in the root of your web you would have your single
home page, that redirect to the home page in the subweb.

Now if your site has been indexed by the search engine, then all links will
be broken.

Overall the best solution is to not do this, if using FP Navigation
components.

Thanks for your info Thomas,
In other words if the web server is a linux file server
then the FP extensions necessary won't be available even
if I do try the sub web approach.

Subwebs require the FP extensions, however not all web host allow clients to
create subwebs.

<meta-eqiuv="refresh" content="5; url="yourpage.com">
put the above line in your "Head" secton in the code.

it refreshes the page after the designated time (content) and goes to the page of
your choice (url).

.

In FP2003, the help says:
In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click
Design .
Right-click the page, and then click Page Properties on
the shortcut menu.
Click the Custom tab.
Under System variables (HTTP-EQUIV), click Add.
In the Name box, type REFRESH.
In the Value box, type the following:
x; URL=http://xyz.com

Where x equals the number of seconds before the
redirection takes place, and xyz.com equals the page to
which you want to redirect the current page.
Click OK.
