Distinct landing and home pages.

[paulj...@gmail.com]

I would like visitors to my app to see a landing page with a link to a login page, and logged-in users to have a separate home page, showing information about their accounts, etc.

I would like them to be two distinct pages, rather than have conditional content, because they will have different layouts, backgrounds, etc.

What is the best way to do that?

Thanks for any advice.

Quickest way would probably be to either change what's being rendered in FrontController#index:

def index
if current_user
render :template => 'some other page', :layout => 'the layout for that'
end
end

or to redirect logged-in users (or not-logged-in) to a different action.

That sounds great, thanks.
