mpence Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 I want the ability to close my store for what ever reason, maintenance etc. Is there a way of doing this? Thanks, and sorry about the newbie question. Mike
Guest Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 You could just create another index page that your customers see. And to prevent them accessing a specific catalog page during your downtime, perhaps just put an .htaccess file in place. Just a suggestion. :)

jfrey Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 I want the ability to close my store for what ever reason, maintenance etc. Is there a way of doing this? Thanks, and sorry about the newbie question. Mike Put the following code in a file, change (Your Store Name) to your store name, and save it as index.php.maintenance: <?php $page_title = ''; ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text.html; charset=iso8859-1" /> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> body { background-color: #ffffff; } . content { background-color: #f5f5f5; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; } a.navlink:link { color: #003366; text-decoration: none; } a.navlink:visited { color: #003366; text-decoration: none; } a.navlink:hover { color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none; } td { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size 13px; vertical-align: top; } .title { font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; color: #ffffff; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 20px; padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom:5px; padding-left: 20px; } </style> </head> <body> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method ="post"> <table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="0" align="center"> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <td> </td> <tr> <td colspan="3" bgcolor="#003366"><p class="title"> The (Your Store Name) site is down for maintenance</p></td> </tr> </form> </table> </body> </html> Then, if your catalog directory is under your document root, copy this to index.php in your document root (normally www in linux systems), remove or rename it when you are done. If your catalog is in your document root, rename the index.php that is there as index.php.backup so you can recover it once the maintenance is done, then proceed as above in this directory.
