I set the site in "maintenance mode" in the admin-pages with KK's solution https://www.couchcms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=12904&p=36680&hilit=Put+Site+Offline#p36680
and this works perfect, However, i really would like to be able to modify the resuting Maintenance Mode-page.
As i understand it (read somewhere on the forum but cannot find it again), i would be able to add my own maintenance-page by creating a file called 503.php
like this:
Or even better, would be if one could add Couchcms code to be able to set the text from within the admin and also the "expected finish-time".
I cannot seem to get this to work on my local MAMP-development site though. The 503.php page is always beeing ignored. I have added it to the .htaccess-file like the other pages (i don't know if this is correct though)
Please help!
Edit: I found the solution!
It was easy with this wonderful cms. I read about theming and then it was just to
1. copy site_offline.html to the /theme/sample-directory and
2. edit it as i want my maintenance-mode to appear
3.edit couch/config.php and uncomment //define( 'K_ADMIN_THEME', 'sample' );
Edit: The only question left is:
I assume that the solution by @KK putting site offline from the admin panel won't send any 503's?
How can i send the 503-header in my themed site_offline.html? Can i add PHP-code in the beginning of the page??

- Code: Select all
<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable");
header("Status: 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable");
header("Retry-After: 3600");
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Site is temporarily unavailable due to maintenance</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Site is temporarily unavailable due to maintenance</h1>
<p>We expect to have the site back up within 4 hours.</p>
</body>
</html>
