rvm_maintenance
This plugin, when activated, will show a maintenance page to all visitors who are not logged in on the admin side of Textpattern. Requires Textpattern 4.0.6 or higher.
Features:
- Very small, due to efficient reuse of TXP internal functions (less than 250 bytes of PHP code)
- Detailed documentation in the plugin help.
- Users logged in on the TXP admin side, can still view the website normally. After all, it’s harder to maintain a website if you can’t see what the result is on the front end.
- Customizable ‘maintenance mode’ template.
- Sends a “HTTP 503 Service Unavailable” response when in maintenance mode, telling Google spiders to come back later instead of indexing the maintenance page.
- Minimal interface. Activating and deactivating the plugin is all you have to do to make it work.

Great plugin!
Warning: unknown_tag: sitename in /home/www/textpattern/publish.php on line 973
The ‘unknown_tag: sitename’ error is not cause by this plugin. Your error_default template probably still contains a <txp:sitename> tag, which should be replaced by a <txp:site_name> tag.
Excellent plugin! Thanks, this is really useful.
I seem to be having trouble viewing the site while logged in with maintenance mode on. Is there a trick to making that work? And just to clarify, this should work on a per-browser basis, yes?
Oh, never mind. Seems that it was the difference between logging in with a “www.” and accessing the site without…
