personally i would do ip ban with redirect
where when on it goes to page when on maitence it gives edited bann screen to blank then redirects to a maitence page you set in another directory

this should help if your looking for another way

Why would you do an IP Ban to put a site on maintenance, lol? I think you don't understand what he means.

Just a basic database with 'closed'. Then make a script and if it's 'closed', you direct to a maintenance page else (nothing lol).

Then put a drop-down on a button on a password protected page called Close / Unclose for example and it would just update your database.

I would write something out but I'm a bit busy atm, sorry.

In my TemplateNation system, I've got a maintenance option (well admins have).

And basicly it uses mysql so i have a db called maintenance, in which I've got a record set to 'no' and a form to set to yes/no etc etc.

Then on my index.php I've got the ?page= navigation so I did this:

PHP Code:

---


if($sql["maintenance"] == "no"){
//php nav system
}else{
//display maintenance page
} 


---

(I also added something so that maintenance doesn't affect admins)

If thats what's you want, pm me ;)

yep got it exacly i will pm

Providing you know PHP, i've always done $siteoffline = yes/no; in globals.php or settings.php or whatever, and then had in your header.php file and if statement regarding wether it is a yes, if so kill ur script with die() or kill() both the same I believe, and something like kill(Site is offline) die(Site is offline)
Now i'm not an amazing php'r so umm verify this with someone better first.

Code:

---

<?php

if (isset($_POST['site'])){
   
    $site = $_POST['site'];   
    if ($site == 'on'){
    }else{
    die('Sorry the webpage is closed.');
    }
}else{

echo("<form>
<option value='on' name='on' /><br />
<option value-'off' name='off' /><br />
<input type='submit' name='site' value='Choose' /></form>");
}
?>

---

That should work, not tested.

I think there's something like this in the Web Tutorials.
If there isn't, PM me and I'd be more than happy to make something for you.

LOL? that will only display the message for that instance, when the form is submitted, you need to use mysql to insert a value into the database and call the value to see if it's open/closed and then display the site or maintainence page. I posted a tutorial about this on chf, but it doens't let me post tutorials on here for some wierd reason so i can't post it on here.

Oh yeah, i just though ot that Lmao made my self look a bit of a **** there i think lol.
