Drupal 7 Button to take site out of maintenance mode for Launch Day?

I'm just wondering is there a specific link or piece of code I can use to create a launch button for launching the website i.e taking it out of maintenance mode?

Solution

  • You could find the flag in the database which is either 1 or 0 depending on whether maintenance mode is enabled or not.

    You could then write a script and put it on a page which allows a button press to change the flag status in the database, thus putting the site online.

    i.e.

    PHP page (presumably behind a password wall) which contains a form with a submit button to a PHP script, which contains a mySQL UPDATE query to change the flag status.
