site maintenance - how i can?

[shawn_a]

Do you want a solution real quick ill write one up

You can stick this in your template or ,using my component hook plugin, in a component named

Code:

hook_index-pretemplate

PHP Code:

<?php
if(!is_logged_in()) die('Site is undergoing maintenance');
?>

If you want to get fancy , for exmaple on a live site, you can do stuff like

PHP Code:

<?php
if(!is_logged_in()){
  header('HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable');
  header('Status: 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable');
  header('Retry-After: 7200'); // in seconds
  print "This page is temporarily unavailable";
  die();
}
?>

you can also replace that with a temporary redirect to wherever also.
