Static index.html as first page of a SS website
27 June 2008 at 1:17am Last edited: 27 June 2008 1:18am
Is it possible to have a static index.html page as the first page of a SilverStripe website? So that when you go to http://localhost/mysilverstripesite/, you are first shown the index.html page, and on that page there is a link to /home, which is the actual SS homepage.

hm, whats the reasoning behind this?
you could either have a custom .htaccess mod_rewrite rule, or see if you can set up a RedirectorPage with the URLSegment "home" (although it would be kinda nuts to redirect from Silverstripe to a static page, just to link back to Silverstripe pages...)

Like Ingo said, putting a custom handler in your .htaces would be the best bet.

The first page of the website I'm currently developing is a teaser page, which contains an animated banner and a link to the first SilverStripe page (/home) of the website. The teaser page has an entirely different layout than the website itself, and contains no dynamic content whatsoever.
So what I basically have in mind is that when the visitor types www.example.com, he or she is first shown the static teaser page, and can click on a "Welcome" link which goes to /home.

Can you not just make a different template for the teaser page?
May I also recommend not having a splash/teaser page at all as this will have very little content and would (i assume) be flash - not ideal for SEO

Create a new page class, SplashPage
then create templates/SplashPage.ss. This template will be used for the whole splash page - it can be completely different.

@ Sam:
But that would imply that the URL of the teaser page should be "/home", and the URL of the actual homepage should be something like "/home2", correct? -

That is correct but the /home doesn't show - it would just be www.yoursite.com/
So you could then make the actual home page something like /homepage or /sitehome or /main
