Re: [request] a maintenance mode for textpattern
its no big deal for me! i just tried the plugin out on another site using php5 and it works just fine as far as i can tell! once maintenance is on, i tried going to any other sections by url and they all brought back the maintenance page instead. great stuff so far! thank you and your students :)

Re: [request] a maintenance mode for textpattern
Anyway… I already updated the plugin… it should work fine with PHP4, now.
GEE!!! I see your own site using the plugin right now :-D

Re: [request] a maintenance mode for textpattern
haha yes i was testing it on my own site (which uses php5) and another that used php 4.
just tried out your new version and it worked for both sites. bravo! the only thing i can suggest is a more semantic/efficient markup as the ‘default’ maintenance page. all those <br />‘s are a downer! of course that wont be an issue for most textpattern users as i’m sure everyone will want to customise their maintenance page anyway.
thanks again!

Re: [request] a maintenance mode for textpattern
yeah… I suck at writing html… in fact, my html editor is vim :-P
I’ll try to look into it once I finished checking all of my students’ plugins (by xmas, I think).

Re: [request] a maintenance mode for textpattern
WoW! We dreamt about this till a long months ago. And the solutions are here.
But : do we live in a perfect world?
How to choose between this two great works?
I like the Ruud’s idea with the ability to create a page maintenance within the back-end and the 503 state of the page to indicate to robots the website is temporarly in maintenance mode (and preserve SEO).
…And I like Mariano’s and his students idea with the ability to switch between tow states : Active or Maintenance with a special warning message displaying within the back-end.
Now in a perfect world :
Ruud could be a teacher in Argentina or Mariano and his students could integrate Core Developers Team to create a combinated version of a new plugin with the best ideas of each… :)
Thanks lot Ruud and Mariano. It’s a great and very useful work for community.
Best Regards,
Patrick.

Re: [request] a maintenance mode for textpattern
Hi Pat, thanx for the kudos… I can asure you that I’m really far from a txp core dev… maybe some of my students are or will be nearer…
Actually, my own php knowledge is like you say about your “en”… read only … or maybe, patch only
Now, I do have to get closure on this semester, but what would you like to have?… the possibility to handle the HTTP reply code set to 503 (or maybe configurable) and the ability to edit the actual page in-line?

Re: [request] a maintenance mode for textpattern
Thanx for the warning… I was doing the final touches before publishing and I renamed the plugin (erased the _adm suffix, rewrote the help and a couple of minor adjustments).
I already corrected the link in my post.
I also published the plugin officially in the resources site as well as in the Plugin Author Support sub-forum, so please, any follow up directly related to ort_maintenancemode please do it there.
Regards.
