hi All,
My question is as follows. before going to the forum/ portal I want to display a splash page, but the layout of this page needs to match the chosen template layout ( default if not selected, or read the cookie if they revisit). How can I display an empty page, without header, footer or topics that matches the selected template?
Regards,
Hi, welcome to SMF. :)
If you include SSI.php on that page then you can use the $settings array such as $settings['theme_dir'] and $settings['theme_url']. Take a look in index.template.php of a theme for how it's done there for linking to the style sheets and use only select parts to put your page together.
