XF 2.2 Showing page for the first daily visit of a guest

[FreelancerHH]

I searched at xenforo.com a lot, I didn't find a solution or add-on here (yet).

(I'm not sure if this is the right forum section to post at, but maybe it's a built-in function of XenForo already that I don't know, so it doesn't require an add-on. Feel free to move this post to a matching forum section.)


What I want to do:

1. Detect the first visit of the day by a guest (unregistered user) based on his IP address.

2. If it's the first visit:

A. Show a special PHP page to the guest including some background tasks, similar to Cloudflare.
B. Redirect the guest to the URI he originally called.


I don't need the background PHP script (A) or the redirect stuff (B), I just need some tips how to arrange the "interstitial" page before the guest will be redirected to the URI he originally called. Similar to a first visit of a new website when Cloudflare shows a page for a few seconds before you will be redirected to the website.

Server: Apache 2.4.59, Ubuntu Linux
.htaccess enabled

Can this be done inside XenForo or does it need (another) .htaccess rewrite to show the page before the original URI? I don't want to set up a reverse proxy etc.

Thank you in advance for every pointing into the right direction.

That would require custom development.

XF does not store tracking data for guests.

Thank you.

And what about the part to show a random .php page for the visit, before redirecting to the original URI the user entered?

Could this be achieved with built-in XenForo functions?
