That's not a mod.  It's just an index.html page, and the 'enter' links points to index.php

http://naughtierbutnice.com/index.php

All, you need to do is create and index.html page in your sites root directory, with whatever content you want, with a similar link to index.php

Make sure all of your sites 'home' links point to yoursite.com/index.php and NOT just youtsite.com, or else index.html will be displayed.

after you make your Index.html it will show like that site, keeping your header?

That's not a site header.  It's just an image.  You can make your index.html page look however you want it to look.  It's commonly referred to as a splash page.  If you look at the site's splash page, you will see that it is missing the top navigation menu, and a simple navigation menu was added to the left sidebar.  It's just a simple html page that has been designed to look like  the pages within Dolphin, but it is not a part of dolphin.  It just has links to a few dolphin pages.

Somebody on expertzzz may have a predesigned splash page that does this.  I'll take a look.

.....nope... didn't find anything.  The site does use a scrolling featured profiles mod, and part of that was inserted on the splash page with an iframe.  I didn't see that scrolling featured profiles mod either.

Let me know if there's anything else I can't help you with.

That's a little plain, but I suppose it serves it's purpose.

Yeah, it's just a warning before you enter the site, the bad thing about that is that everytime your memebers are going to your site, they have to go thru it....I avoided that warning very simply, maybe project can use it, on my main page, I don't have any adult content,,,I made all adult content visble for members only and I made all guest blocks not visble to members,,so a guest goes to my site, no adult content, once member logs in, all member blocks appear...

It's always a good idea to avoid splash pages, unless you absolutely need one.  The worst thing about them is that they can break search engines.  If the search engine lands on your splash page, with no links to follow, your site may not get indexed properly.  Also.... your registered members won't want to go through the splash page on every visit to your site.  The splash page needs to go away for registered members.

Can't the member just bookmark the login page once they've joined?

Quote · 23 May 2009

yes, after they go to the index.php they can bookmark it and once they go to their favorties and clikc the link they will not see the message, but you have to tell all your current members and all the new ones about this and ask them to bookmanrk your site..

That shouldn't be so dificult. Just include something like "Don't forget to bookmark the login page so you don't have to got hrough the warning page." in the enrollment confirmation email.

That or just make the entrance page non-xrated and only members can gor passed.

There are ways to have a splash page, where a cookie is set so that members won't see it..... until they clear their browser cache/cookies.   Thay way, all they have to do is bookmark yoursite.com without specifying the index file.
