使用Joomla乘以索引页面

Question

I have used Joomla to create my website.

I need a disclaimer page to come up before the front end user can see the rest of the website.

I created a new "index.php" page with the disclaimer information, with a link to the site - I renamed the original php file to "index1.php

"Index.php" views but the link doesn't want to work. My code does seem all correct.

Any advise please?

You cannot just rename index.php in joomla. It's entry point to your website and it initializes/routes/runs your joomla app. So instead you should modify your index.php so that it recognizes 1st time visits and redirects users to correct page.

Name your terms page as first-time.php and modify index.php as follows:

<?php
if (!isset($_COOKIE['firsttime']))
{
    setcookie("firsttime", "no", /* EXPIRE */);
    header('Location: first-time.php');
    exit();
}
else
{
// Set flag that this is a parent file.
define('_JEXEC', 1);
define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);

if (file_exists(dirname(__FILE__) . '/defines.php')) {
    include_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/defines.php';
}

if (!defined('_JDEFINES')) {
    define('JPATH_BASE', dirname(__FILE__));
    require_once JPATH_BASE.'/includes/defines.php';
}

require_once JPATH_BASE.'/includes/framework.php';

// Mark afterLoad in the profiler.
JDEBUG ? $_PROFILER->mark('afterLoad') : null;

// Instantiate the application.
$app = JFactory::getApplication('site');

// Initialise the application.
$app->initialise();

// Mark afterIntialise in the profiler.
JDEBUG ? $_PROFILER->mark('afterInitialise') : null;

// Route the application.
$app->route();

// Mark afterRoute in the profiler.
JDEBUG ? $_PROFILER->mark('afterRoute') : null;

// Dispatch the application.
$app->dispatch();

// Mark afterDispatch in the profiler.
JDEBUG ? $_PROFILER->mark('afterDispatch') : null;

// Render the application.
$app->render();

// Mark afterRender in the profiler.
JDEBUG ? $_PROFILER->mark('afterRender') : null;
// Return the response.
echo $app;
}
?>

Rather than hacking your website and making applying updates a problem have you considered creating it as a plugin?

As an alternative have you looked in the Joomla! Extension Directory ? It has a User Management section and on the first page of that I can see a Joomla! 2.5 plugin called Terms of Service that might fit your needs.
