Hi all,

Gallery3 starts with index.php, which shows galleries. I want to modify that page so I can have a different "front page" using index.php.

So:

I need http://www.example.com/index.php to go to http://www.example.com/pages/show/home

The above URL is from a module called pages. A .htaccess redirect doesn't work, it gets too many redirects when trying to load that page, and search engines can't parse the redirect also.

Is there a way to a) change the index.php to show different stuff or b) a way to edit the php code so it loads the module page (pages/show/home) after loading the index.php page?

Thank you.

The .htaccess file that ships with G3 has directions and examples to remove index.php
Some themes like the grey dragon theme have a 'splash'/'front page' page.

Hey Dave,

Thanks for the info. I have tried the .htaccess removing index.php from the url, which works. But I get too many redirects if I have the pages module load first, since the redirect isn't passing the vars via QSI.

I need the rule for something like this:

#RewriteRule ^index.php$ /index.php?page=home[QSA,L]
#RewriteRule ^$ "http\:\/\/example\.com\/index\.php\/pages\/show\/Home" [R,L]

Also the same thing is mentioned here, but I don't understand how to follow #1

Hi All,
I created some dynamic albums and I would like one of those to be displayed when you land on the homepage instead of the All album. Ho can I do it?

Thanks in advance,
Ste

I guess there is several ways to go about this a couple that come to mind:
1. Make the dynamic album the 'landing' page from your other pages.
2. Use some rewrite magic/voodoo to redirect users to the page you want.
3. A custom theme.

Okay so made a default.html file which is loaded before index.php and doing a simple html redirect in side that.

Seems to work. Off to read https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1DQ1Tz177aX5ZsSgEbjYtYOBufJ0SYhgYvfJtA6snn2Y Dev handbook to see how to do it in PHP.

Any tips are appreciated.

/gallery3/themes/your theme/views/page.html.php

<? if ( $theme->item() && $theme->item()->id == item::root()->id ): ?>
    <?= new View("my_cool_index.html") ?>
<? else: ?>
    show the regular page
<? endif ?>

that's how I'm doing it here.

Create one or more sub-albums in your root album(place all others in these sub-albums), and in your intro, link to these sub-albums.

Okay, this works, but is there a way to display the root gallery album somewhere else? I can work around not having it by using the Organize Album to view whats in it, but this would be nice to still be able to see the root gallery folder.

I want my cake and to eat it too. :/

Make a new root gallery
Create one root -> sub-album to hold all other albums

in my example, the "enter" button takes you to FYW Demo album which is the only sub-album off root

of course I could have multiple enter buttons and multiple sub-albums to add categories/events/dates....

SUPRSIDR, where in the "/gallery3/themes/your theme/views/page.html.php" do you add that line? I am trying to do this but I am not sure where to put the code.
