[CONTRIB] Maintenance Mode

This is another free one as I think it should be part of OpenCart.
Supported OpenCart Versions:
================
v1.2.6, v1.2.7, v1.2.8, v1.2.9, v1.3.0, v1.3.1, v1.3.2, v1.3.3, v1.3.4, v1.4.0, v1.4.4


What does it do:
================
This contrib adds a maintenance mode option to your admin->configuration->settings page.


Main features:
==============
* Uses the preAction system to check maintenance status to protect all pages
* Admin can still see the store normally when logged into the admin section.
* Maintenance page uses its own tpl file for extended customizations

Most likely because you are logged in as admin. Try logging out, and refresh the frontend store.

You know what what be a good mod for this?

If you have maintenance mode for only certain parts of the site, like Products, information, PDF's, etc, so that this way the whole site isnt down at one time.

I have this mod as well, and think its cool, but sometimes I am only working on one section at a time, and dont need the whole site down to work out the bugs.

Updated for 1.4.0 through 1.4.4 support

Fixed:
- Skip Maintenance mode if using SEO
- blank page if there is no index.php on the end of the url.

Tried installing this on 1.4.4
Once installed, when I go to the System-Settings page, I get
//Q: Maintenance Mode $_['entry_maintenance'] = 'Maintenance Mode:
Prevents customers from browsing your store. They will instead see a maintenance message. Only users logged in as admin will see the store as normal.';

Showing up at the top above the OpenCart | Adminstration header
Then when I go to the "Server" Tab and select the "yes" radio button for "entry_maintenance" - and click save, I get:
//Q: Maintenance Mode $_['entry_maintenance'] = 'Maintenance Mode:
Prevents customers from browsing your store. They will instead see a maintenance message. Only users logged in as admin will see the store as normal.';Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/local/4admin/apache/vhosts/website.com/httpdocs/cartfolder/admin/language/english/setting/setting.php:50) in /usr/local/4admin/apache/vhosts/website.com/httpdocs/cartfolder/system/engine/controller.php on line 27

Did I put something in the wrong place? I went through the instructions a few times double checking myself.

Thanks
Wade

still the same on 1.4.0, what are the changes so it wouldn't skip SEO?

carefully read step 4. I think you are editing the setting.tpl file of step b but you need to be editing the file in step a

Here is a clip from /admin/controller/setting/setting.php (step 4)

Code: Select all

if (isset($this->request->post['config_error_filename'])) {
			$this->data['config_error_filename'] = $this->request->post['config_error_filename']; 
		} else {
			$this->data['config_error_filename'] = $this->config->get('config_error_filename');
		}
		 
//Q: Maintenance Mode
		$this->data['entry_maintenance'] = $this->language->get('entry_maintenance');
		if (isset($this->request->post['config_maintenance'])) {
		    $this->data['config_maintenance'] = $this->request->post['config_maintenance']; 
		} else {
		    $this->data['config_maintenance'] = $this->config->get('config_maintenance');
		}//




		$this->template = 'setting/setting.tpl';
		$this->children = array(
			'common/header',	
			'common/footer'	
		);


...from /admin/language/english/setting/setting.php (step 5)

Code: Select all

// Error
$_['error_permission']        = 'Warning: You do not have permission to modify settings!';
$_['error_title']             = 'Title must be greater than 3 and less than 32 characters!';
$_['error_owner']             = 'Store Owner must be greater than 3 and less than 64 characters!';
$_['error_address']           = 'Store Address must be greater than 10 and less than 256 characters!';
$_['error_email']             = 'E-Mail Address does not appear to be valid!';
$_['error_telephone']         = 'Telephone must be greater than 3 and less than 32 characters!';
$_['error_error_filename']    = 'Error Log Filename required!';
?>
//Q: Maintenance Mode
$_['entry_maintenance']          = 'Maintenance Mode:<br /><span class="help">Prevents customers from browsing your store. They will instead see a maintenance message. Only users logged in as admin will see the store as normal.</span>';

And this is a chunk from /admin/view/template/setting/setting.tpl (step 6)

Code: Select all

 <tr>
            <td><span class="required">*</span> <?php echo $entry_error_filename; ?></td>
            <td><input type="text" name="config_error_filename" value="<?php echo $config_error_filename; ?>" />
              <?php if ($error_error_filename) { ?>
              <span class="error"><?php echo $error_error_filename; ?></span>
              <?php } ?></td>
          </tr>
<!--//Q: BOF Maintenance Mode-->
          <tr>
            <td><?php echo $entry_maintenance; ?></td>
            <td><?php if ($config_maintenance) { ?>
              <input type="radio" name="config_maintenance" value="1" checked="checked" />
              <?php echo $text_yes; ?>
              <input type="radio" name="config_maintenance" value="0" />
              <?php echo $text_no; ?>
              <?php } else { ?>
              <input type="radio" name="config_maintenance" value="1" />
              <?php echo $text_yes; ?>
              <input type="radio" name="config_maintenance" value="0" checked="checked" />
              <?php echo $text_no; ?>
              <?php } ?></td>
          </tr>
          <!--//Q: EOF Maintenance Mode-->        
	  </table>
      </div>
    </form>
I can send you copies of the entire files if you wanted to look at them.

I think I did everything right... When I read youre reply, I thought.... "ooooooohhhhhh I bet I did" but when I got to checking, there isnt a .tpl file in that folder and Im not finding a setting.tpl in any "route" that I would have thought Id have mistakenly taken (ie following a wrong line to a folder) - but who knows. Im still learning A LOT about this stuff.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. I hope I have included enough info, and not proven myself as a proof-reading idiot.

You pasted the language stuff AFTER the ?>. needs to be before.
