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:

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

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.

<?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.

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

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.
