Index Page Issues

[celticdragon]

Hi, I am wanting to create a "Down For Maintance" index page that only has infomation for my customers and that will not allow them to place orders during this time. I know how to edit the main text but i need to remove all other boxes with out affecting the entire site for when i re upload my regular index page. i have been trying and have been reading and cant find anything that helps.

 

Cheers

... maybe the "Closed Store Mode" contribution is what you are looking for?

Thanks for the links, i am wishing to use the simple closed_store_mode but as not a computer wizz, its all very confusing. Could anyone help with instruction on where to do the following request?

 

database insert (create a configuration key right above your store name in admin):

 

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, set_function, date_added) VALUES ('Shop mode for selling or just viewing shop', 'SHOP_MODE', 'Open', 'Set to Open if you want a fully functional site, set to Closed and checkout is not possible', '1', '0', 'tep_cfg_select_option(array(\'Open\', \'Closed\'), ', now());

 

This is the only hold up all other instruction I know how to do.

 

Thanks in advance
