Creating a title/"Splash Page"

I made a nice logo for my website and I would like to have it as a "splash page" where you click on the logo to enter the website.
The only problem is that my page, which I created using a blank webpage, still shows up in the main menu bar at the top of the webpage. Is there a way to get rid of that? I want you to see the splash page, but once you enter the site, I don't want you to be able to go back to it.
Is this even possible? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I solved my problem...I'm new to iWeb and I just discovered the wonders of the Inspector...You can make a page not show up in the navigation menu and you can create hyperlinks to other pages.
Thanks anyway.

Is there a way to create an intro splash page?

Is there a way to creat a intro splash page that people can click through to the home page? I need the actual homepage to stay as the index.html. Any solutions?

Guest Splash Page with Cisco WLCs Help

Hi,
I need some guidance using Web Authentication / Web Pass-through to create a mandatory splash page that is presented to users of our guest WLAN. Currently our guest WLAN is wide open, users connect and go straight through to get Internet Access. Here's what we'd like to accomplish.
1. Have the page hosted on an external web server (i.e not on the controller)
2. Present Terms of service
3.
a. Present an optional field to enter an email address & date of birth (DOB) to opt in for marketing purposes
OR
b. Present a mandatory field to enter an email address with an optional check box and DOB to opt in for marketing (the idea behind option b, is that whether they opt in for marketing or not, we could still some how use the email as a username, but not require a password. In the hopes of then using this as a unique identifier in the WLC for troubleshooting / reporting purposes)
4. At the very end, have an "I Agree" button
5. Re-direct to our copmany's public facing website
Our controllers are 5508s, running 7.4.121.0. I more or less have an idea of how to accomplish this, but I've never used Web Auth / Web Passthrough with a Cisco Controller before, so I'm hoping someone can clear up a few things for me.
1. Am I correct that, when using an External server to host the login.html page, we must use Web Authentication, since Web Pass-through is only an option when using an Internal Page? Web Pass-through seems ideal for us, since we don't care about credentials, but from what I'm reading, it seems restricted to Internal (on the Controller) deployments only.
Based on these
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless-mobility/wlan-security/115951-web-auth-wlc-guide-00.html#passthrough
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless-mobility/wireless-lan-wlan/116879-configure-wlc-00.html
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/4400-series-wireless-lan-controllers/107474-web-pass-config.html
2. If Web Pass-through is not an option when using an External deployment, is there any way we could use an email address as a username, but not require a password? If not, is hiding the username/password fields in the html code of the splash page, and using a single pre-configured default username / password the only other option ? As described here: https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/10847046/unsecured-guest-access-customizable-splash-page-and-logo
3. It sounds like SSL cert warnings may be an issue even if we use an External deployment, because the controller still acts as a middle man. Is this correct, and is the best fix to install a valid 3rd party cert on the controller?
P.S. I’m aware of the Big Brother type things that can be done with Cisco MSE and Connected Mobile Experiences, as far as guest tracking / marketing / analytics go. However, that’s way more than we’re looking to do at this point.
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide!

Hello Jonathan,
The idea you have is fine, the only exception is the extra fields of information that you want to collect. From the WLC perspective this is not possible to gather.
The example given on https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/10847046/unsecured-guest-access-customizable-splash-page-and-logo looks very interesting, and as long as the WLC receive the information it needs to authenticate the client, you can modify the HMTL code as you want. However, as somebody state on that post, Cisco provides the html example, but we do not really support the html content creation or modification.
Anyway below on answer #2 I am giving you an idea that could work (again Im not html expert I don't know if that could be achieved that way) maybe you can have a better idea.
To answer your queries:
1) The customized web-passthrough page can be hosted on an external Web Server.
When the pages are on an external webserver, the passthrough is still performed on the WLC, just the pages reside on the external server. It is a good idea to be sure that the pages come up ok on the external server without webauth involved since webauth will not work unless the external webserver works
2) We have examples of what HTML content a customized Web Passthrough page should include. If you add extra fields on the HTML code (like email address & date of birth), the WLC won't be able to handle this data and most probably you won't be able to gather this information from the WLC , unless you customize the web page in such way that it sends the fields email address & date of birth to another server (rather than to the WLC) to gather this information, but at the end what matter for the WLC is to receive the click on the "Accept" button to authenticate the client.
3) Regarding the certificate, there are two options, the cheapest and easiest is to disable HTTPS for web authentication. Then, your guests will open an HTTP web page, without having the certificate warning.
Whether or not you perform local or external web authentication, you still hit the internal web server on the controller. When you redirect to an external web server, you still receive the certificate warning from the controller unless you have a valid certificate on the controller itself. If the redirect is sent to https, you receive the certificate warning from the controller and from the external web server, unless both have a valid certificate.
In order to get rid of the certificate warnings all together, you need to have a root level certificate issued and downloaded onto your controller. The certificate is issued for a host name and you put that host name in the DNS host name box under the virtual interface on the controller. You also need to add the host name to your local DNS server and point it to the virtual IP address (1.1.1.1) of the WLC.
This link provides information about WebAuthentication on an External Web Server, however exactly the same applies for Web Passthrough:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless-mobility/wlan-security/71881-ext-web-auth-wlc.html
Also, you can download the WebAuthentication bundle, with the examples and some useful information about different customized web pages, it can be used as a template to build your page. Here you will see that Web Passthrough to an external server is indeed a valid option, when you download and unzip it, open the "readme.html"
https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=282600534&softwareid=282791507&release=1.0.2&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
Hope this helps

Splash page with animated gif only question

Hello all:
I have a splash page (index.html) that is designed using an animated gif created in photoshop. The rest of my site is Css/XHTML, but has some divs containing animated gifs. I have two questions;
1: By using only the animated gif on the splash page, am I limiting or hindering my SEO (google, microsoft, yahoo) ranking opportunities as there is no "content" on the page that the spiders/bots can see? I went ahead and included some "content" but hid it by coloring the type the same as the background color hoping that might do something, but obviously I'm a SEO newbie so any suggestions are more than welcomed. I will include the code at the end of this post, and my site is: http://reynolds-marketing.com.
2. Is there a way to pre-load the animated gifs on my pages so that they play more smoothly and efficiently?
TIA for any of your help. Murman
The code for the splash page:

My guess is yes, but that is just my opinion. I believe the text/background same color idea was really in vogue back in the late 90's and we all heard that it was the kiss of death for SEO that the SE's hated them so much you got de-listed, not sure if that is a fact or not.
My bigger concern would be how many people you are losing by making them wait to get to where they want to go. I have told many a client that in some sense, the interent is too big, you have too much competition and people have thin patience for things like splash pages. The ooo and aaa effect of animated gifs is long dead...again, in my opinion.
I dont know the answer to your load question...

How can I create different headers in Pages 09?

I hope someone can explain to me how to solve this issue: I'm creating a simple training manual and I want the different chapters to appear in the header of the page - Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc. Left and right pages are different because the margin has to be different for binding. Chapter 1 ended on an even page (a "left page.") I inserted a Section break at the bottom of that even-numbered page hoping to start a new section on the next page (odd numbered), and change the header to Chapter 2. However, to my surprise, when I changed the header to Chapter 2, all the previous headers for odd-numbred pages also changed to Chapter 2. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
On the Layout inspector, under Section, I only have checked the option "Left and right pages are different." Everything else is unchecked. I'm using version 4.2 of Pages 09 under Mountain Lion OSX.

"Left and right pages are different because the margin has to be different for binding.
Chapter 1 ended on an even page (a "left page.") I inserted a Section break at the bottom of that even-numbered page hoping to start a new section on the next page (odd numbered), and change the header to Chapter 2. "
For the specifications above, the Inspector settings for Section 2 should be as shown in the image below:
Section break at the end of the text for Chapter 1. If you have "Section starts on" set to "Right Page" your next section will start on the first recto page after the section break, inserting a blank page if necessary. You can also set this menu (red arrow) to start the next section on Any page (it will start on the next available page) or the next Left page (it will start on the lext verso page—an unusual setting).
Page numbers may "Coontinue from previous section" or may re-start for this section, beginning with a value you set in the box (purple arrow).
Left and Right are different (green arrow) allows a different header or footer on facing pages (eg. Book Title on verso, Chapter title and page number on recto). Note that this setting does not change 'Right' and 'Left' margin options to "Inside" and "Outside." That change is made by checking the Facing Pages checkbox in the Document Inspector.
Finally, unchecking 'Use Previous headers & footers" allows editing the headers and footers in one section without changing those for the previous section. Note that the edits will take effect in the section containing the insertion point when the edit is made.

Barry

Hi,
As there is no complete code at hand, you can take the snippet below about updating the name of a page in a page library as a reference:
if((Get-PSSnapin | Where {$_.Name -eq "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}) -eq $null) {
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell;
$web = Get-SPWeb http://yoursite
$list = $web.Lists["Site Pages"]
$listItems = $list.Items
foreach($item in $listItems)
if ($item.Name -eq "Page1.aspx")
$file = $item.File
$file.MoveTo($item.ParentList.RootFolder.Url + "/" + "Page1_changed.aspx")
$file.Update()
#dispose of web
$web.dispose();

File, create PDF, from web page, entire site...questions

I am new to adobe, is this the proper forum for Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for macintosh? I think yes...
Created a PDF from: File, create PDF, from web page, entire site.
Is there a way to print this without the background color? If you printed from a browser, you could choose not to print the back ground color. I know exactly the color.
Is there a way to make this PDF look like the web, with no page breakes? I have tried various things, but the page breaks are always displayed.
Is there a way to create bookmarks on somthing other than the title tag in the web site? The title tag is an SEO 1 sentence summary of the page, which makes for very long book mark names.
Thanks for your help.

Creating a template in Pages is straight-forward as answered here previously. Is there and equivalent for iBooks Author which can start with a blank page and build up the template as required? or can one only adapt a ready made template?

Creating a template in Pages is straight-forward as answered here previously. Is there an equivalent for iBooks Author which can start with a blank page and build up the template as required? or can one only adapt a ready made template? This has proved unsatisfactory to me so far. Lines are left in etc.

There are two basic menus for fonts - one from the main menu bar and one from the toolbar. You can also bring up the font manage dialog.
I don't recommend trying to hard to force an otherwise foreign font, as it inevitably needs to be usable/supported on iOS as well, and that can get tricky w/3rd party fonts, as an example, even with the expanded font support in the latest iBA.
If you need to discuss fonts more, I suggest starting a new thread....preferably with a slightly more brief title, thanks.

Splash page design in Ps CS6

Hi,
I'm using Ps CS6 and I designed a splash page with animation and sound but am not sure how to export it so it can be an actual intro page? Can this be done or should I have created it using Flash?
Still learning...go easy on me...LOL
Thanks, Lee

If you are talking about a web page, then it's simply a terrible idea. There is nothing more off-putting than having to wait for the actual content to load and unnecessary fluff consuming your data quota on mobile devices. That and of course that especially in the latter case it will cause all sorts of technical issues. Flash is most definitely out of the questions as is loading arbitrary movie clips. If at all, this will have to be properly authored in Edge Animate or similar web-centric tools. Still, even then it will impact loading times and overall user experience and potentially bad Google ratings... Otherwise feel free to render whatever you have to an animated GIF or movie clip and integrate it into your web page, but you'll still have to learn web stuff to do it...

Creating interactive PDFs with page turn,issue with PDF

I recently watch a video on adobe tv titled "indesign : creating interactive PDFs with page turn and flash animation". The video was great,simple to follow with great results, I was able to create a document with interactive page turns that was viewable in a web browser,the next step was to then create the same document but be able to view it in PDF format. I followed the above mentioned video and everything worked apart from one issue once I exported the indesign file out as an interactive PDF it opened up in adobe acrobat pro with no problem but when I went to turn the page it would lag and slow down to the point were it was almost impossible to turn the page, the page turning didn't seem to flow as well as when viewing it in a web browser. The document I am creating is a catalogue and I am happy with the interactive version for the web but I am looking at putting the catalogue on a CD/ USB and need it to open and work with PDF, it would be a great help if anyone could advise me on the reason why the interactive page turning runs so poor in PDF format. I am currently running on a very powerful computer with the adobe CS5 master suit.
Any help would be much appreciated

The page flipping is an SWF effect, so essentially you now have an entire SWF embedded inside a PDF.
If you forget about this garish effect (which, I can guarantee you, by next year will be "so 2012") you can send out a standard PDF which can be easily viewed on otherwise sub-standard computers, and using very straightforward PDF readers, such as the ones currently available for the iPad and its clones.

How to create cross references in pages?

Hello,
I need to create cross references in pages, for example create a title with the name of a chart and the create a reference on the document. If I create more content and the number of the chart changes the references need to be up to date. This is supported by word... don't know on pages.
Thanks!

I suspect your tag is wrong, but in Pages '09 you just Insert a Bookmark.
Not possible however in Pages 5.

Creating a title

Does anyone know of any quick and easy-to-understand tutorials for After Effect CS4 that can help me create a title introduction for my videos?
I want an entertaining introduction with nice animations. I'm new to AE, so the tutorial would have to be "dumbed down."
I don't need anything professional.
Thank you!

There are lots of tutorials about text animation. This page lists several that are good: "Examples and resources for text animation"
If you have a more specific sense of what you want to do, then ask or do a search using the After Effects Community Help search. For example here's a search for graffiti tutorials that pulls up a great tutorial on the Video Copilot website.
If you're just getting started with After Effects, then I recommend reading this: "Getting started with After Effects"

Sitewide Splash page?

http://webscom.zendesk.com/entries/10272…
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex…
Those are two tutorials that tell me how to make a splash page. What I want to do though is show a splash page whenever a user comes to my site through ANY link. So they could type in my site and they'll see it, or click on a link to some forum post and they'll still see it. I figured you would just have to set cookie variables and have them be cleared whenever somebody leaves the site. But I don't know how to do that. Can anybody help me with this?
P.S. I was told it might be possible to do with .htaccess, I'll take any way I can find.

I had a feeling this thread would be full of lectures stating why you shouldn't do it. Here's how:
Create cookie using js, php, or whatever. Include in each page if/else where if cookie is set then show page else show splash page, redirect to splash page, or whatever.
The problem with other methods mentioned is there's no way to redirect back to the original intended page. If you include if/else to check if cookie is set and if it isn't then put an include to show the splash page then when someone clicks ok it can set a cookie and refresh the page to show the page as intended without the splash. There's plenty of information on the internets that will show you how to set a cookie and how to check if a cookie is set and do something if a cookie isn't set. Keywords to search have been bolded for you. You can also check out: http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_cookies.asp
Check it out if you still feel like this is something you want to do, disregarding the finger waving lecture of others.
best,

WLC 5508 Web Auth Splash Page: Is it possible to place a download?

Hi,
I know it is possible to create custom web auth splash pages on the WLC 5508. Is it also possible to embedd a small document (less than 1MB) that users can download directly from the controller? I need this for providing the terms of use for the Guest WLAN.
Thanks
Michael

It could be done, but you will want to stay within the limits of the WebAuth bundle size (~ <10MB I believe). This shouldn't be a problem considering a .doc size, but I have to ask the same question. Why would you want to do this as opposed to just putting your terms of use inline to the page as just text/html? Maybe there is a good reason, but I can't really think of any scenario. Feel free to elaborate.

Using a swf splash page with muse

Hi,
I have a site that was done in Joomla and the start page is index.php, I created a swf that plays and animation and offers an "enter" button that tkaes you to the index.php. So when you go the the site the index.html plays the swf and then you click enter to get to the site... worked great.
I wanted to get away from joomla with all my sites so I redid this in muse and guess what, I can't figure out how to get the splash page to work. Any ideas?
The site is szemszem.com .... the original splash page is szemszem.com/index_old.html
Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike
I believe you have fixed the issue ??
Thanks,
