Hello,

Is there a way to show a different landing page to the site's first time visitors. FOr example regular user would go to the "what's new" and the first time visitors would go to the about us/welcome page.

 

Thank you,

I'm not aware of any module that can do this.. so you would need to write your own module. You could write a cookie upon every visit with last visit date/time, and if such a cookie is not present redirect the visitor to a welcome page

Thank you ErikVB.

To make sure I understand you properly. That new module I would write would then be placed in the default landing page and would route the user according to the cooki, right?

Is the DNN core already using some cookies... It seems that it is able to detect if am still logged in to the site. Where can I find more information about that detail?

Thank you all for your support.

yes, dnn uses cookies to keep track of user logons... however, this is a type of cookie that expires pretty fast. You could however test for the existence of this cookie, although it would be safer (in terms of security, but also: you cannot be sure that the name/value of the dnn logon cookie will stay the same in future versions) to just use your own cookie

Yes, the idea is to put such a module on the generic landing page (which you can set in Portal Settings  - the home page and the welcome page), and then redirect users accordingly. Be advised that search bots do not user cookies, so you need to handle that case seperately
