MAINTENANCE mode

SMiFFER · March 11, 2020, 05:43:11 PM

I am trying but obviously missing something.

When I set maintenance mode = on

I want to display another webpage.

What I did so far was amend "LOAD.php" and "ERRORS.php", but I for some reason I ask you guys I can not get it done.

What I want to do is show another HTML-page and have it displayed.
I have therefore commented out this

/*
*         echo '
*      <title>', $mtitle, '</title>
*   </head>
*   <body>
*      <h3>', $mtitle, '</h3>
*      ', $mmessage, '
*   </body>
*</html>';
*/

and put in

header('Location: https://www.page-to-show.html');

But what's in the way so that this does not work?

Subs-Auth.php

Code Select




// Display a message about the forum being in maintenance mode, etc.
function InMaintenance()
{
	global $txt, $mtitle, $mmessage, $context, $smcFunc;

	loadLanguage('Login');
	loadTemplate('Login');

	// Send a 503 header, so search engines don't bother indexing while we're in maintenance mode.
	header('HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable');

	header("Location: http://www.yourforum.com/readme.html"); 

	// Basic template stuff..
	$context['sub_template'] = 'maintenance';
	$context['title'] = $smcFunc['htmlspecialchars']($mtitle);
	$context['description'] = &$mmessage;
	$context['page_title'] = $txt['maintain_mode'];
}

Of course, it leaves you with no way to login. You'd have to take it out of maint mode in Settings.php.
