Presentation Page before index.php - El Forum - 01-19-2009

Hi
is there a way to make a presentation page
like to have
presentation.php
index.php
...
so when I access the site it first goes to presentation
to choose the desired language accompanied with a nice logo image
and then, after a language has been chosen
the index page comes in
Another question please
Is there a way to while looking at this presentation page
the index is being loaded? to save time.
Thank you for reading.

In your default controller, create a function _presentation() to load the presentation files. Then in index(), check if the language has been set yet (I assume via sessions or cookies?) via an if/else. If the variable is not set, return _presentation(). If it is set, then show the index.

Sorry i didn't even see the second part. I'm actually not quite sure what is the best method for this, as I have never had to encounter it in my work. The best thing i can think of now is having a hidden div with images that can load into the cache, but i'll leave it to other members in the community who might have experience with pre-loading.

Ok, thank you, once again.
Hope to hear some advice of that question.
