anyone know how to do this?

i want to add a custom page (main_page.tpl) which will act as the main page for the website..
jus like the contact.tpl, but I do know how to make it the starting page..

I want to place some flash moive on this page, and don't want to change to an html editor...

This is very important for me..

sundri - ok maybe it will work:
1. edit index.php and change this


if( !isset( $p ) || $p == '' ){
  $p  = $config['start_page'];
}


if( !isset( $p ) || $p == '' ){
  $p  = 'main';
}

2. in index.php change


if( is_file( $sActionFile ) )
  require_once $sActionFile;


if( is_file( $sActionFile ) )
  require_once $sActionFile;
elseif( $p == 'main' ){
  $content .= $tpl->tHtml( 'main_page.tpl' );
}

3. Create file templates/main_page.tpl and display as main page what You want.

All links which must redirect to home page change to http://YourSite.com/?p=main

Works?

sundri -
1. create link <a href="?p=flash">Watch flash video</a>
2. Add this:


elseif( $p == 'flash' ){
  $content .= $tpl->tHtml( 'flash_gallery.tpl' );
}
