Re: Easy way to "offline" a cake site
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.

Re: Easy way to "offline" a cake site
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. > > Thought the easiest way might be to > > 1. create a config var OFFLINE > 2. in /app/config/routes check the OFFLINE var, and if true, reroute > everything to /pages/offline > 3. create an action in pages controller: offline. > 4. create a view in /view/pages/offline containing the offline message > > To turn a site offline, set the config var to TRUE. > > Is this the simplest way, or is there a better cake way to do this ? > > Thanks. > > > > > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Easy way to "offline" a cake site
I would like to redirect every url to an "Undergoing Temporary Maintenance - Back Soon" page. Thought the easiest way might be to 1. create a config var OFFLINE 2. in /app/config/routes check the OFFLINE var, and if true, reroute everything to /pages/offline 3. create an action in pages controller: offline. 4. create a view in /view/pages/offline containing the offline message To turn a site offline, set the config var to TRUE. Is this the simplest way, or is there a better cake way to do this ? Thanks. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
