switch D7 to maintenance mode

Hello, how do i set D7 to maintenance mode? thanks

Is there such a thing in Dolphin?  I don't think so.  If there is, someone please enlighten me also.

Rob

p.s.  I like the idea though

This would be very useful, I'm looking for a way to do this now..

If you have a static IP address from which to access your site, you can do this simply.... if not, you're sol.

Thought there was a mod built for that feature ... though I have not used... it is nice to have should one pooch the code while hacking... better than the "ERROR this chump pooched me.." (g)

ps:  I gave the link so BoonEx could hack and make it a permanent item...

Please add to my Wish List.  (g)

Yes, it's an old thread, but I moved it to the 7.1 forum because I changed the milestone on my six year old ticket to 7.2.0.   I figure six years is long enough to wait for this very basic feature that every site should have by default.  How hard can it be?

Never did (built)  one - have no idea.  I just tried the mod that I posted but it does not work with 7.1+. 
When I did a lot of stuff with Drupal - I used their built in when needed.  Same with Wordpress/Buddypress and a few others.

I was looking as 7.1.6 appears to have a lot of gliches I am too lazy to find and try and fix..   On a fresh install of *.*.6 Classified will let me add what ever I want for items or sub items.. but will not post a classified.  Returns me to index.

The html side box wants to add the site URL infront of what ever actual URL I use.. killing the link.  I use shadowbox on most links - rel="shadowbox[mixed]"  and thought that may be confusing the interface ... removed,

no difference.. so: "http://www.soft-vision.com/tilt" rel="shadowbox[mixed]"  ends up
"http://www.myneighbors.nethttp://www.soft-vision.com/tilt" rel="shadowbox[mixed]"

I looked to see if I could see what whats causing and where - why  base URL was injected over the actual.

I failed.  I relinquish my rights, pocket pencil holder and what ever I forgot that I should ad to this list, to using the endeared term Geek.

Joe, Over 67 years on the planet and finally admit my short comings.

So I am backing down to 7.1.5 and take my chances with the old security issues vs BALDNESS from pulling pubic, facial and head hairs.  Despite, I have no doubt it's my fault! 

I use Deano's module.  Not sure the position of Boonex to add features when there is a module in the market.

For something as basic as this, It really shouldn't be a factor.  Besides. I don't think there are many module developers getting rich off this stuff.
