I am lookig for a way to deploy a landing page for a specifc ad campaign running on other sites. Specfically, I do not want to alter the current front page of the publicly facing site I just want a separate node that is outside the theme that will allow me to deploy the large graphic designed for the landing page along with the image map html...

Is this module appropriate fo rthat purpose? Seems the closest thing I can find to what I thought would have been a common requirement...

Thanks in advance,

Tim

No, you wouldn't be able to achieve this with this module.

If you want separate pages completely outside of your usual Drupal theme, the best is to create separate .html or even .php files, where the whole content is coded by hand, to fit your exact purposes. I don't see where one would need a module for that (assuming I understand what you need).

If this answer is enough, you may set the issue as 'fixed', otherwise, reopen.

hi tpletcher - you can actually do what you want using the front page module...

The front page module allows you to:

You can paste in the full HTML code for a complete page and include a different style sheet in the HEAD of the document if you want a completely different layout and style to the rest of your site.

  1. paste the full HTML for the landing page in the front_page.module settings text area for anonymous users (visitors not logged in)
  2. select FULL as the PAGE TYPE
  4. Save configuration

That will display whatever HTML you put in the front page text area for anonymous users.

That technique is commonly used in situations like http://www.theonion.com where you want to display a big advert for new visitors to the site...but hide it for users already logged in.

hope that helps

I may have misunderstood what he wanted to do. I thought he did NOT want whatever page he wants to design to be the home page, even for anon. users.

Never mind. Thanks for correcting me, Dub! :)
