Why should you install this module?
If you wish to warn site visitors or editors that the web site will be going down for maintenance at a specified time, so they can finish edits or checkout before that time, then this module can either display a warning with the time or a countdown timer.
It will then trigger the selected action at the scheduled time. The action can be configured to be either:
- Put the site into maintenance mode - Shows the notice until the time then places the site into maintenance mode.
- Continue showing warning message - The notice will switch to the "Maintenance mode" message but you will need to manually place into maintenance mode.
- Stop showing warning message - The notice will disappear and you will need to manually place into maintenance mode.
- Put site into Read Only Mode - If the Read Only Mode module is enabled then this option will be available and will put the site into Read Only Mode.
Features
- Configure a warning to show leading up a scheduled time for maintenance
