Newbie to hooks and stuff

[flipflopmedia]

I am a front end designer and do not understand this stuff in depth.

I'm basically just wanting to customize a default index placeholder page that will be placed in the skel directory for accounts created.

The only thing I want automatically added to this default page is the domain name associated with it.

For Ex. The default page would read something like:
This is the new home of www.XXX.com.

Where XXX would be dynamically written to reflect the domain just set up. If any of that makes sense.

If I have a custom index page in the skel directory, I don't want to have to go in and edit the code to reflect the new domain name each time an account is set up, that's the whole point of having things automated, so is this possible and is it a hook thing-a-ma-jig that I need??

Thanks,
Tracy

Rename your index to index.shtml and add this where ever you like:

<!--#echo var="HTTP_HOST" -->

In your cPanel under the Error Pages section, when you go to edit a file there you are presented with several buttons for a variety of tags you can use for exactly what you're seeking.

I already sent you this by email, but thought I'd post here in case someone else looks for it.

2 other options:

use index.php and add

<?=strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])?>

anywhere you want the domain to show

or

use javascript and add

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Begin
document.write(window.location.hostname);
// End -->
</script>

anywhere in the body, and/or

<script type="text/javascript">
document.title = window.location.hostname;
</script>

between the head tags.
