How to customize "Site offline" page with my logo?

It's in common.inc, line 280.

Change the margins and padding in maintenance.css to suit your taste.

dangerous ?

the only way something like this makes it into core is if a proper patch is created and added to the issue query by a user and it's checked over by a developer and then they choose to add it. Ideally, core is kept small for a reason. The smaller core, the smaller the footprint. Not everyone will want to change the image. Fact is if you really, really wanted to change it, you can just find it in the misc folder and replace the graphic with one of your own, naming it the same as what's already there.

This is not really that difficult or dangerous. I see how a new user that knows nothing about PHP could find this very scary, but it’s not dangerous. Because you are only changing your theme for one page that is not always visible, it has no real impact on your site. Generally you would test things like this before you make them live. If you follow the instructions exactly the PHP stuff is just a copy past. When it comes to the site-offline.tpl.php file you can do what ever you want. You can make it a static html file without all the embedded PHP stuff. The template.php file is at the heart of drupals theme system, without it themers loose a lot of flexibility.

But I see where you are coming from, drupal is not that easy to use if you don’t really know PHP. You can do a lot if you stick to the contrib themes and modules but if you want to do more than what’s already available, then knowing PHP becomes important. Maybe thats why many developers see drupal as a framework, rather than an out the box CMS, but this is slowly changing. You can see this in the changes to the theme system (http://drupal.org/node/132442).

This version fixes a problem with relative paths returned from path_to_subtheme() when the maintenance page is shown for internal site pages.

I've also added a snippet to the end of the $content that refers the user to a Google cached version of the requested page if its a node or the frontpage.

/**
 * Implementation of theme_maintenance_page().
 * See http://drupal.org/node/58562#comment-1238366
 */ 
function zen_maintenance_page($content, $messages = TRUE, $partial = FALSE) {
  drupal_set_header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

  drupal_set_html_head('<style type="text/css" media="all">@import "/'. path_to_subtheme() .'/maintenance.css";</style>');
  drupal_set_html_head('<style type="text/css" media="all">@import "'. base_path() . drupal_get_path('module', 'system') .'/defaults.css";</style>');
  drupal_set_html_head('<style type="text/css" media="all">@import "'. base_path() . drupal_get_path('module', 'system') .'/system.css";</style>');
  drupal_set_html_head('<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/'. path_to_subtheme() .'/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />');

  $title = drupal_get_title();
  $head_title = strip_tags($title);
  $head = drupal_get_html_head();
  $js = drupal_get_js();
  $message = ($messages ? theme('status_messages') : '');
  $html_end = (!$partial ? '</body></html>' : '');
  if (arg(0) == 'node') {
    $google = "http://google.com/search?q=cache%3A";
    $home_page = $google . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
    $this_page = $home_page . request_uri();
    $content .= '<div class="cached-version">';
    if (request_uri() != '/') {
      $content .= t('You may also wish to view a <em>cached version</em> of <strong><a href="!this_page">this page</a></strong> or <strong><a href="!home_page">our homepage</a></strong> from Google.',array('!this_page' => $this_page, '!home_page' => $home_page));
    }
    else {
      $content .= t('You may also wish to view a <em>cached version</em> of <strong><a href="!home_page">our homepage</a></strong> from Google.',array('!home_page' => $home_page));
    }
    $content .= '</div>';
  }
  require_once 'site-offline.tpl.php';
}

Alternatively, you could leave the template.php code as is, and place the Google Cache link stuff in the site-offline.tpl.php file if you dont need to worry about translatable strings....

<!-- begin content -->
<?php print $content; ?>
<!-- end content -->


<?php if (arg(0) == 'node') : ?>
<?php
$google = "http://google.com/search?q=cache%3A";
$home_page = $google . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$this_page = $home_page . request_uri();
?>
<small>
You may also wish to view a <em>cached version</em> of 
<?php if (request_uri() != '/') : ?>
<strong><a href="<?php echo $this_page ?>">this page</a></strong> or 
<?php endif; ?>
<strong><a href="<?php echo $home_page ?>">our homepage</a></strong>
from Google</a>.
</small>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php print $html_end; ?>

Thank you, this worked very nicely. For any other total beginners I'll point out NaX's code goes into a (new) file in your templates directory called template.php ... that one took me a while to figure out.

Drupal continues to be a learning experience .. thanks again.

hi,

i have done exactly as you suggested but i still get the same page.
I am using 5.7.
Any ideas what can be the error?

hi,
i finaly made it work and thank you for the help.

Just one small tip which might not be so important
if you use
header('Location: /where/your/file/is.html');
or
drupal_goto('/where/your/file/is.html');

then you are redirected in the offline page.
If in the mean time the site comes online and you refresh your page you will still see the offline message since you url points to the offline page.
if you use
require_once 'site-offline.html';
you dont have such problem so i think this method is better.
small a stupid maybe but it got me confused for a second
