This page will step you through getting the Home Page Rotator module setup and running on your server. After the module has been successfully installed on your server, please complete the following steps.
- First, login to your Admin Control Panel. There will now be a new link under the Installed Modules box, called Home Page Rotator. Click on the link to access the menu for the Home Page Rotator module. Next, go to Setup->General Settings menu and complete the following form. All questions should be fairly straight forward.
- Once you have defined the general settings, you need to generate your rotation list, which can be done through the Setup->Create Rotation File menu. This is the only time you should have to create your rotation file like this, unless you change your settings later on.
- The last thing you need to do is have everything who visits your root web site, automatically redirected to the Home Page Rotator module. There should be a home page on your web site, located at http://domain.com/index.html. The index.html page should contain nothing, except the below text:
<html><head>
<script language="Javascript">
window.document.location = "http://domain.com/cgi-bin/xflow/modules/homepage/bin/rotate.cgi";
</script>
</head></html>
Of course, replace domain.com with the domain name of your server. The index.html page should only contain the above lines of text, and nothing else. Once in place, everyone who visits your root web site will be automatically redirected to the Home Page Rotator module, which will automatically redirect them to the needed member's web site.
