Splash page for drupal 7 website

Posted by harikris2007 on February 7, 2013 at 7:21am

I have a drupal 7 website and i need to put a splash page with flash intro.

I have already a front page with the name page--front.tpl.php and how can i put a new splash -page before this home page.

The new splash page will be a simple html page with a flash intro to navigate to the website's home page.

I request your help.

Create another tpl like

Posted by jalpesh on February 8, 2013 at 9:09am

Create another tpl like page--homepage.tpl.php and put all code of the page--front.tpl.php in page--homepage.tpl.php. Use your HTML code in page--front.tpl.php so your splash page will become home page of your site. If you want user to navigate splash page to home page of your site then put link in splash page which will redirect user to home page of the site.

thanks for the reply...

Do you want your splash page

Do you want your splash page to look completely different from the other pages?

If so, you can create a new theme and then use the Theme Key module...

http://drupal.org/project/themekey

...to switch to that new theme just for the home page (which will be the splash page). Add a block to the content region, add your movie there, and add a link to go to another homepage, index, or whatever you want to call it.

Then the rest of your site falls under the original theme.

If the splash page will look mostly the same as the rest of the site, then just configure each block you do or don't want to appear by typing at the bottom of each block's configuration screen.
