5.7 and static pages like maintenance for instance

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi guys!

First of all, 5.7 seems like a really good step going forward.

I'm taking it for a spin and trying some of the basic stuff and one thing I can't understand is how can you change the template and style for static pages like maintenance mode ?

I can't both override the view or, as it seems possible, override the full page on my own custom template...

Any hints?

Thanks,

I too would like to customize the maintenance mode page in 5.7.

You can override pages such as login, register etc by following this guide:

https://www.concrete5.org/documentation/developers/5.7/designing-for...

However testing this, for some reason Maintenance Mode does not work...

I tried to override the maintenance mode view by creating /application/views/frontend/maintenance_mode.php, but it did not work. I ended up editing the view directly in the concrete directory. It will get overridden someday but I don't care because I don't use it much. Perhaps someone else knows how to override views?

I found the view in /concrete/views/frontend/maintenance_mode.php

If it helps anyone, the view gets called from /concrete/src/Routing/DispatcherRouteCallback.php and looks like this:

// maintenance mode
        if ($c->getCollectionPath() != '/login') {
            $smm = Config::get('concrete.maintenance_mode');
            if ($smm == 1 && !PermissionKey::getByHandle('view_in_maintenance_mode')->validate() && ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != 'POST' || Loader::helper('validation/token')->validate() == false)) {
                $v = new View('/frontend/maintenance_mode');
                $v->setViewTheme(VIEW_CORE_THEME);
                return $this->sendResponse($v);
            }
        }

nkennel, you were on the right track - the override does work, but you must ensure you clear your Concrete cache.
This worked for me:
I downloaded a copy of /concrete/views/frontend/maintenance_mode.php, customised it and uploaded it to /application/views/frontend/maintenance_mode.php.
I then cleared the cache and voila!
