I built a system that does exactly this for an on-line magazine. As Daniel suggested, I used AppController::beforeFilter() to check for the online/offline setting (stored in a "config" table/record in the database.
To allow an administrator access I also checked if the admin route was being used. If it was then I ignore the online/offline setting. This approach has worked quite well and allows the client to take their magazine offline (with a customisable message also stored in the config table and settable through the admin interface) Regards, Langdon D.Pape wrote: > sounds good and easy. > i don't know , but i think i would check the OFFLINE variable in > AppController::beforeFilter() (on the same way i check for authorization). > > and there should be a login form for administrators, if you have to test > the system on the live-server. > and where do you set the offline-message? > > daniel > > > keymaster schrieb: >> I would like to redirect every url to an "Undergoing Temporary >> Maintenance - Back Soon" page. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
