hello,

i found article on internet, maybe can http://pbwebdev.com/blog/adding-a-splash-page-to-joomla#.ukx_n4znf2d

there extension http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/style-a-design/popups-a-iframes/11693

someone suggested can create index.html , put in root joomla directory, since index.html loaded before index.php in web servers, haven't tried this.

in end none of these solutions worked me, created menu item named intro, , placed other pages child elements of intro.

then in template added these lines:

code: select all

<?php if ($this->countmodules( 'intro-page' )) : ?>
   <div id="intro">
      <jdoc:include type="modules" name="intro-page" />
    </div>
<?php else : ?>
<div id="main-content">
       <jdoc:include type="component" />
</div>


this code tells if module in module position intro-page published display module. if not, display joomla content.

i added module position in templatedetails.xml, otherwise couldn't publish module in position.

then created new html module (available in basic joomla install) in position intro-page , in menu assignment chose show on intro page.

i'm not sure if best solution, works me atleast.
