New page

We have a Joomla SEF enabled site.
We want to display an intro flash page when the request is / and let the Joomla continue to work without touching our site.
We have an /intro/index.html that is the intro flash page.
We have mod_proxy properly configured (or we must s:P:R to Rewrite flags below)

Modify .htaccess (or equivalent apache configuration file) adding under the line of RewriteBase:

<source lang="apache">
RewriteRule ^$ /intro/ [P]
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ /index.php [P]
</source>

Modify the mod_mainmenu in modules/mod_mainmenu/helper.php:

<source lang="php">
$iSecure = $iParams->def('secure', 0);
if ($tmp->home == 1) {
//Change the home to index.html (see .htaccess)
$tmp->url = JURI::base().'index.html';
} elseif (strcasecmp(substr($tmp->url, 0, 4), 'http') && (strpos($tmp->link, 'index.php?') !== false)) {
</source>
