I'm not one to deem what is a mod around here, but this clearly isn't one.

And also, if for whatever reason you do use this, be sure to rename your original index.php so you don't overwrite it with this one.

Didn't want to put it in template modifications. And thank you for mentioning about the old index, I forgot to mention that.

How does this stop someone from using the site though? If they follow in a thread link, they can still access the site. I use something like this for my site, but I have it coded inside of turn board off/on message template.

Not a modification, moved to articles section.

PS the most effective way to block access to the site during maintenance is to use a .htaccess file to redirect to a maintenance page, except for those IP-addresses that need to access the board for the maintenance.

Can you share this with me? or the community? I am interested in something like you have. Thanks.

It's more designed for when your upgrading vB, when you overwrite your original config file with the new one you get that DB error, with this you wont. For most it takes us 10 seconds to edit the new config, but for others it may not. That's the purpose.

Use the search, I'm sure something will turn up.
