Good news: You can do it already with 2.0beta!
Menu -> Other Options -> Edit Template, Insert in main section:"Server Closing Down for maintenance in 5 minutes" evtl. H1, colored, blinking, press Apply, check your site by pressing "Browse" and you are done. After maintenance, just comment it out in your HTML to be ready for your next maintenance session.
:roll: Example#6?
I have to admit, the Edit template menu is somewhat hidden and deserves a place on the main bar.

well... there is a problem.
you set such message; after 4 minutes a user comes and read "5 minutes"; after a minute the server is down.
what do you think about it?

well i think just below the menu, before other options,
or next to on/off as button....
or in the notification area(tray icon)

atleast its faster then, i hope

From the moment the message is placed, just let no new users logon. Already logged on users get that message and know they should hurry up

i meant user as people browsing, not necessarily logged on.

propose a detailed way this feature would work.

MarkV · **Reply #13 on:** May 14, 2006, 10:44:25 PM

Did I say "logged on"? My fault. I would imagine something like this scenario:

1. Admin of HFS decides to put server in maintenance mode (take offline in XX minutes).

2. When Admin selects maintenance mode, HFS rejects new connections (maybe error code 403 Forbidden or 503 Service temporarily unavailable). Existing connections stay untouched for XX minutes.

3.a)every connection disconnected within timeout - in this case HFS switches to OFF mode

3.b)XX minutes timeout reached - HFS kicks existing connections and switches to OFF mode

Maybe you could put in a variable for use in the template that shows time left before users' connections get kicked. Admin should also be able to set XX minutes timeout to Zero, meaning no timeout, just wait until the last user/guest disconnected.

Hope this makes sense to you...
