Hello,
I am trying to create an Under Construction page for the first time in Joomla! 1.5. I created the image, but I am a bit lost on how to place it and remove the login panel. I found the article below, but I am not able to make it work. It seems simple enough, but I am getting no where! Any ideas?

I am creating a page similar to this:

Thanks in advance! - Last Edit: 12 years 8 months ago by sweets4dasweet.

Hi,
the easiest way of doing this is to create static HTML page and place it under your Joomla root folder. Name this page index.html. If your server is configured correctly, your static index page will be loaded first - Check my services at: Mihha-Vision

- Why not just edit the one already in Joomla? All you really need to do is edit the css.

@Igor, will that static page suddenly change the home page that I've created? I am trying to replace the Offline Login Page with the image. Sorry if I should have said that first!
@Chris, I am working on it, but not sure if I am doing it correctly. I see how to make changes to the login form and possibly replace the Joomla logo with my own. But, I would like to replace the entire login/offline page.
Sorry guys, I am a bit of a novice at this one! But, I am trying!

HI,
this static page will replace your Joomla web site until you are ready to show it to the public. You will still be able to access your site by adding index.php to the end of your domain name - Check my services at: Mihha-Vision

Hello Igor,
I've been trying to figure this out all day. So I created another index.html file, but being a novice that could have been wrong, not sure. I uploaded the image to the backend of the site. I went to my FTP and found the Joomla folder and replaced the file. But, nothing changed.
<html>
<head>
<title>Live Life Tours | It's About the Experience</title>
</head>
<body>
<img border="0" src="/images/llt_underconstruction.jpg" alt="Live Life Tours" width="800" height="450" />
</body>
</html>
Does it sound as though I missed the mark?

so as Igor said:
1) save your image to your /images/ folder
2) paste the html code you have above into your favorite text editor (I use TextWrangler for Mac but Mac's textedit or Windows' NotePad will work just as well)
3) after pasting the HTML, save the file as index.html, open your FTP application, log in to your server and upload it to your root directory (same folder as index.php, your joomla config file, etc.)
To get to your joomla site after doing this, you'll need to go to www.yousite.com/index.php
when you are ready to publish, rename the index.html file or delete it.

Exactly as Ingrid said. I actually said the very same thing but I guess I should have explain it in the way little child would understand it
