Sitedown message

Post by pierrepercee »

Hello,

If you use "Maintenance mode" returned web page has: no html tag, no head tag, no body tag. Impossible to make an acceptable formatting since we cannot link a style sheet to the page. This page is obviously not valid.
It would be necessary to at least add the necessary tags, and make it an editable page normally...

For now, You can create a full html document, just turn off wysiwyg. Future plans involve converting this to a page type similar to the error pages so it can use your design components, but I don't have a timeline for this.
Not getting the answer you need? CMSMS support options

The way I did it that made a page in CMSMS with your layout etc. view the llike page Than Copy 'n' paste the HTML source code and have hard link to a CSS file into your Maintenance mode page without wysiwyg turn off.

Thanks for this example.
it works but still without the necessary html tags.
It's not an absolute emergency of course, but an invalid page, serial, it's still not the best advertisement.

I just use a separate page for things like this and set it as default...
