Opening page

We can create custom opening pages for projects. There are templates and pre-made functions for this, but in fact, this landing page can be any custom website. By default, a template called gridbox is loaded, which itself can be customised. We can configure the landing page in the local_vars.php.inc file. If the LOGINPAGE variable is set to mainpage, the main page template configured in the MAINPAGE variable will be loaded.

define('MAINPAGE',array(
  //'custom_skeleton'=>1,
  'template'=>'gridbox', //intropage
  'content1'=>'map',   // map | upload-table | slideshow
  'sidebar1'=>'column_something.project|custom_countries|members|uploads|data|species|species_stat|hotlinks', // members uploads data species species_stat
  'system_footer'=>'on',
  'system_header'=>'off',
  //'restrictaded_pages'=>array('map','id','history','profile','data','table','editrecord','qtable','query','show','LQ','metadata')
));

Here are some screenshot examples from different projects:
