Site Down Message

[arstach]

I'm working on a new page and use the option: 'Enable Site Down Message". But I wonder whether it is possible instead of displaying the usual message, immediately redirected to the old version? While retaining the ability to disable some IP's of course.

sorry for my poor english :/

take a screenshot of the old homepage and make it the content of the Site Down page.

I was thinking that the Site Down page could make use of page templates, which would make other options available to you, but it doesn't look like it.  Sounds like a good feature request for the core.

I've heard that it's possible.. what about putting php script? I've tried one, but cms seems to ignore it..  maybe adding meta tag, like:



?

Have you read the documentation about the syntax for using PHP directly in your pages?

Or use MovedPages as a module.

You could also make a change in the .htaccess, where you redirect from old-url to new-url.

this module seems to work only with 404's.. Sitedown page exists, so it's no reason for this module to act..

I agree, but still.. there must be another sollution which use cms only

I think I misunderstood your question....

You were talking about the OLD-VERSION.... Isnt that an original page then? What do you mean with OLD-VERSION? I assumed that you created a NEW page, where the OLD page was gone.

The moved-pages, is then pointing from old to the new, making the OLD-link still accessible, as you forward to the new one.

If you mean that you want to go to a specific page, or to the page where you started from to access the invalid page, then you should use some URL-forward logic. Check google for some scripts...
