Flash Intro Page

[COLOR=red]I would like to have the open page as a flash intro page that then will go the to shop...how can i do this? Once you have clicked the enter button i would like the shop to be there and any home buttons to go to the shop not index... ;-)

Re: Flash Intro Page

What I've done on my site (partly because I wanted to leave the old version of the site accessible) is put the CCP installation into a folder called "shop".

What this means is that the customer enters on the "default index" page of  and when they click "I wish to continue" takes them to  which is the "homepage" for the CCP version of the site and where they will return if they hit "home" on the menu bar.

Oh, and if you're doing a flash intro *PLEASE* be sensible and put up an obvious button saying "click here to skip the intro", otherwise you'll irritate a *lot* of potential customers who want to shop, not sit around watching a movie! ;-)

Re: Flash Intro Page



Graham,

You can simply direct to the ccp script...



The method is done a slightly different way, instead of going to the script page I have a static html page that is used for the index page.

Err, sorry, but no, you can't.

Trying to directly jump in like that gives a 403 Access Denied error!

Er, yes you can...

I have already done it on the site above.

Maybe the url above was incorrect, try changing the url to the correct script url.

Re: Flash Intro Page

I've just tried this again and got a 403 error using Netscape 7.2

I've also just tried it in IE 6 and it worked, so it seems to be another browser based issue.

In any case, IMO it's better to have people enter through the proper "front door".
