Linking to Appigini from a different home (index) page

[ZoeT789]

Hello,

I am a newbie to Appgini before I get too far in the process I had a quick question...

I would like to set up a home page with a link to Appgini's main page. From what I can tell is that Appgini creates an index page along with the database therefore, to achieve what I want is it simply a matter of 1) renaming the Appgini's index page to a new name 2) on my home page creating a link to the renamed appgini URL (aka appgini "home" page)? Or is there more to this...

Thank you for your help.

Hey, welcome!

Off the top of my head (I'm sure more experienced AppGini gurus will have a better way), you could put an .htaccess file in your directory to change the name of the "index" page.

You can sometimes edit what the webserver considers to be the "index" page from your host's control panel, or you could try manually making an .htaccess file and adding;

Code: Select all

#Alternate default index page
DirectoryIndex first.html

where first.html is the name you want to be the index page. I know that works on Apache servers - not sure about anything else.

Cheers,

Ally

Why not place your AppGini app in a sub directory inside the main directory (document root) of your site? Assuming the main directory is called "public_html" and you create a subdirectory there named "appgini", you'd link to the homepage of AppGini as follows: <a href="appgini">Access AppGini</a>
