Maintenance Mode - how to get back in!

DallyBoy - May 3, 2006 - 11:53

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

Theme function

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.
