Can you think of an extension that does that?

basically you want modal popup or lightbox of some sort...
Depends what you want to trigger it... RokBox could work, though I'm not aware of that loading on pageload, for example, which is a common implementation of what you're suggesting... If you just need it to load on an action/click RokBox should integrate nicely...
otherwise:
extensions.joomla.org/search?q=modal+popup - SEARCH the forum first! These boards are rich in knowledge and vast in topics. This includes searching just the 'Solved' forums, using Google, and using ChatGPT

If you want to try to convince them to not go the route of a popup, you get penalized on Google for it and they also mark you off on their "Pagespeed" tool for using that too.
Its kinda considered spam and generally frustrates users more than it helps.
Just my thoughts, but I know clients can be insistent and there is usually a marketing guy pushing for it.

Thanks to both of you! I always like to check with the braintrust here.
They changed their minds about it after further discussion. - Kathy

Personally I think lightboxes are not a good concept on touch devices.
I guess something like this could work (just as Blam suggested)
<div id="homepopup">
Rokbox-syntax goes in here
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.addEvent("load", function(){
$('homepopup').getElement('a').fireEvent('click')
});
</script> - Last Edit: 11 years 1 week ago by Henning.
