Splash page for social engine site

How would i go about creating an splash page that would be the first page when so开发者_JS百科meone goes to the site. The site is built on socialengine.

I guess it doesn't have to be html, could be php.

I have tried updating the htaccess file with DirectoryIndex index.html

Adding redirect code, (broke site)

Any ideas?

Figured it out by another post, it wasn't for an html page but i modified it and works.

Your main .htaccess file

Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$ RewriteRule (.*) main.html [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /index.php RewriteRule (.*) index.php?rewrite=2 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$ RewriteRule (.*) index.php?rewrite=1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} public\/ [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} .(jpg|gif|png|ico|flv|htm|html|php|css|js)$ RewriteRule . - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?rewrite=1 [L,QSA]
