Offline Warning on a construction site

Posted: Sat Oct 23, 2010 5:23 pm

Hi to everyone

I was checking some files on Joomla and it came out the way they handled to work on your own website but OFFLINE, so visitors can't access or see the whole site. I wonder if it is possible to make these changes to Ravennuke?

offline.php file

Code:

<?php





defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );


?>


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" dir="<?php echo $this->direction; ?>">


<head>


   <jdoc:include type="head" />


   <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/system/css/offline.css" type="text/css" />


   <?php if($this->direction == 'rtl') : ?>


   <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/system/css/offline_rtl.css" type="text/css" />


   <?php endif; ?>


   <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/system/css/system.css" type="text/css" />


</head>


<body>


<jdoc:include type="message" />


   <div id="frame" class="outline">


      <img src="images/joomla_logo_black.jpg" alt="Joomla! Logo" align="middle" />


      <h1>


         <?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('sitename'); ?>


      </h1>


   <p>


      <?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('offline_message'); ?>


   </p>


   <?php if(JPluginHelper::isEnabled('authentication', 'openid')) : ?>


   <?php JHTML::_('script', 'openid.js'); ?>


<?php endif; ?>


   <form action="index.php" method="post" name="login" id="form-login">


   <fieldset class="input">


      <p id="form-login-username">


         <label for="username"><?php echo JText::_('Username') ?></label><br />


         <input name="username" id="username" type="text" class="inputbox" alt="<?php echo JText::_('Username') ?>" size="18" />


      </p>


      <p id="form-login-password">


         <label for="passwd"><?php echo JText::_('Password') ?></label><br />


         <input type="password" name="passwd" class="inputbox" size="18" alt="<?php echo JText::_('Password') ?>" id="passwd" />


      </p>


      <p id="form-login-remember">


         <label for="remember"><?php echo JText::_('Remember me') ?></label>


         <input type="checkbox" name="remember" class="inputbox" value="yes" alt="<?php echo JText::_('Remember me') ?>" id="remember" />


      </p>


      <input type="submit" name="Submit" class="button" value="<?php echo JText::_('LOGIN') ?>" />


   </fieldset>


   <input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_user" />


   <input type="hidden" name="task" value="login" />


   <input type="hidden" name="return" value="<?php echo base64_encode(JURI::base()) ?>" />


   <?php echo JHTML::_( 'form.token' ); ?>


   </form>


   </div>


</body>


</html>

Code:

If online is activate with 1 then website doesn't show from configuration.php





var $offline = '0';


var $offline_message = 'This site is down for maintenance. Please check back again soon.';

I think this is a very nice feature in Joomla to work with your system without letting your visitors what you are doing.

What do you think about this guys?

You can do something like this with Sentinel.

I have used Sentinel to do this on a number of occasions. Very handy when moving servers etc.

I don't know what I was thinking but I didn't see that option yesterday evening. Thanks for waking me up.
