I am converting a Wordpress website to Magento. One aspect of this switch is achieving a Video Intro into the website. Currently it utilizes a Wordpress plugin which loads a website http://example.com/video-intro before http://example.com and after the video is finished playing the window is redirected to http://example.com.
I have purchased the pure PHP version of this plugin (documentation here: http://plugins.themestrike.com/videointro2/documentation-php/), but it does not seem to work with Magento. I cannot figure out why. The page http://example.com/video-intro works great, the redirect works great, but I cannot get http://example.com/video-intro to come up before anything else. *The plugin creator has responded as unable to provide any support for the script.
Off the top of my head, you could do 2 things:
use a php header function to redirect the home page to the page you wish - more info: http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php
Alter your .htaccess file to always re-direct users to the video link.
However it is worth considering what do you do when considering repeat users who have already seen the video.
