Maintenance Mode

With this neat module you can access the frontend by simply adding “?user=admin_user_name&pass=admin_password” as URL parameters. This module can as well be used when doing some maintenance in a running system.

Save the following code as “modules/powertemplate/pt_oxcmp_shop/pt_oxcmp_shop.php” and activate the module by adding “oxcmp_shop => powertemplate/pt_oxcmp_shop/pt_oxcmp_shop” in the modules section ain the backend.

        $_GET['lgn_pwd']=$sPassword;
        $oUser=oxnew('oxcmp_user');
        $logged_in=$oUser->login($sUser, $sPassword);
        $logged_in=$logged_in<>'user';
        $_SESSION['logged_in']=$logged_in;
      }
      else
      {
        $logged_in=$_SESSION['logged_in'];
      }
      if (!$logged_in)
      {
        oxUtils::getInstance()->redirect( 'offline.html',false,302);
        //Use alternate template for maintenance announcement
        //oxUtils::getInstance()->redirect( 'maintenance.html',false,302);
      }
    }
    $sShopLogo = $myConfig->getConfigParam( 'sShopLogo' );
    if ( $sShopLogo && file_exists( $myConfig->getAbsImageDir().'/'.$sShopLogo ) )
    {
      $this->_oParent->setShopLogo($sShopLogo);
      // Passing to view. Left for compatibility reasons for a while. Will be removed in future
      $this->_oParent->addTplParam( 'shoplogo', $this->_oParent->getShopLogo() );
    }
    //Avenger
    return $oShop;
  }
}
?>

Now you can set your shop as “offline” by unchecking “active” in the backend. While your visitors can not access the shop, you can by adding “?user=admin_user_name&pass=admin_password” to your shop URL. Your visitors will be redirected to “offline.html” automatically.

If you want to design a seperate page for the maintenance-information, you can change following code-lines from:

oxUtils::getInstance()->redirect( 'offline.html',false,302);
        //Use alternate template for maintenance announcement
        //oxUtils::getInstance()->redirect( 'maintenance.html',false,302);

simply to

//oxUtils::getInstance()->redirect( 'offline.html',false,302);
        //Use alternate template for maintenance announcement
        oxUtils::getInstance()->redirect( 'maintenance.html',false,302);

Now all visitors get redirected to maintenance.html which you can design according to your needs.

According to the forums thread http://www.oxid-esales.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4389&page=2#post73751 this module is working as well in actual 4.5.x versions.

Thanks to Avenger for sharing!
