Read Only Mode - Backdrop CMS - Representative image

Why should you install this module?

Sometimes you don't want to fully take the site offline but you do want to stop content being added, changed or deleted or configuration being changed; this module allows that.  You can configure forms that are allowed (perhaps the form goes to an external service or just to email without being saved) or view only forms. 

Features

  • An alternative to maintenance mode where editing of content and configuration is blocked while active
  • The ability to enable some forms and also to make some forms view only
  • An API so other modules can define allowed and/or view only forms
  • Customise the message displayed and optionally redirect users to another location
  • A dedicated Bee command to enable and disable Read Only Mode
  • Support for Drush using the state-set command 

Key contributions

  • Ported module from Drupal 7 to Backdrop CMS
  • Added Bee command
  • Added API for other modules to modify the configured allow/view only forms
  • Ported patch for bug.
