Sorry for the really dumb question, but I have been playing around with 4.7. I put the site into maintenance mode and can't figure out how to get back into it! I seem to be having a blonde moment :(

While I am at it, how do I or where do I look to, to customise the down for maintenance screen...

Thanks in advance....

Thanks for the pointer to maintenance.css. Can I also ask where the actual page is defined? I would like to add the site header and menu to the maintenance screen so other sections of the site can be used while the CMS bit is down for maintenance. I suppose part of the question is can it be themed like everything else (phptemplate based theme).

Cheers

The page is generated by theme_maintenance_page() in theme.inc (line 426 in cvs).

Because it's a theme function, you can override it in your theme. Check Overriding other theme functions for a 'howto' do that using a phptemplate theme.

I think this bit of information needs to be more clear within the Drupal system. Luckily this post pops up as soon as you search for the problem but that's not always a dependable method...
