Unique homepage template mod Options

[goldentongs]

Lovely quick mod
(dont know why i not seen before now)

I have 2 issues i am hoping someone can help me with

i want to display the login page on home.tpl
(when i tried to copy code from login.tpl it shows nothing)

Also how can i force guests to the new homepage (to login) before they can view the rest of the site ?
(not concerned with redirecting back to page they wanted to view)

As it is now, they can still access all the webpages directly,
but i want all customers logged in before they can view other pages

Thanks in advance to any who reply

This free mod only provides a unique homepage template. For any more please start a new topic, thanks.

I use this script on a lot of sites for V3 and V4.
Its a little gem but I do regularily get clients getting back to me when they update their skin saying they have errors. This is mainly because when they change their skin they dont need the home.tpl anymore yet the script still loooks for it.

Simple solution is:

CODE

$checkhomepage = "skins/".$config['skinDir']."/styleTemplates/global/home.tpl";
    if (file_exists($checkhomepage)) {
    if(isset($_GET['act'])) {
        $body = new XTemplate ("skins/".$config['skinDir']."/styleTemplates/global/index.tpl");
    } else {
        $body = new XTemplate ("skins/".$config['skinDir']."/styleTemplates/global/home.tpl");
    }
    } else {
        $body = new XTemplate ("skins/".$config['skinDir']."/styleTemplates/global/index.tpl");
    }

It will check for home.tpl, if it doesnt exist it will defsult to index.tpl

Would there be a way to make this mod
display the custom homepage when users are not logged in
and then
display the regular homepage once they are logged in ?

Yes, no probs.

Nice tip, Burgensteen, try this one (a few less lines of code):

CODE

$checkhomepage = "skins/".$config['skinDir']."/styleTemplates/global/home.tpl";
    if (file_exists($checkhomepage) && !isset($_GET['act'])) {
        $body = new XTemplate ("skins/".$config['skinDir']."/styleTemplates/global/home.tpl");
    } else {
        $body = new XTemplate ("skins/".$config['skinDir']."/styleTemplates/global/index.tpl");
    }
