Hi Oliver, no problem, i want to start a new project and i'm with testing vanilla for look it's something usuable for me . I have deactivated it manually and i can login now. Thanks for your help !
I dont want the focus of the site to be forums. Can I use my own login and signin pages and us vanilla without having to login again ? If yes, then coudl you please pointme towards that part of the documentation
@S Just post any code recommendations as a reply discussion to the plugin - or if it is a lot of code, you can open a private conversation with me. Unfortunately I do not have the plugin on github.
@BitFiddler Any feedback is welcome so I can make the plugin more independent to the default vanilla pages.
Ok. I'll just do decribe with some code. 1) RequiredApplications, actullay doesnt require Vanilla. Nothing is required. Remove 'RequiredApplications' from $PluginInfo (or set to 'Dashboard').
2) Site Settings link must be hidden from non-admins. Use CheckPermission() function.
if (CheckPermission('Garden.Settings.Manage')) echo Anchor(Wrap(T('Site Settings'), 'small'), 'dashboard/settings');
I enabled this plugin and the image is showing, however the language is not showing under the image. I checked the locale folder and I can see the language file there, but it's still not showing on my forum when I put in maintanence mode.
It could be that there was a code-change in how Plugin locales are managed. As I am still on 2.0.17.6, I first have to upgrade and look into the issues you guys reported. I'll let you know when I have a fix for it.
I'm not really sure of the approach of hiding the body.
Really it should be a 503, becuase you want to make sure the search engines know it is maintenance too, and to come back later. You might not want to body to be cached in that state even if hidden.
Lastly a role should be able to view the whole site.
i think that when the site is in maintenance state the admin must have access to the front end of the site (and of course to the back end).....is it possible?
@tempo_vanilla Yes, Version 1.2 of the plugin has fixed/added 2 things: 1) login-page is still reachable, 2) there is a link to the login page when the Maintenance message is being displayed.
Dunno for the moment, if it still works with the newest release of Vanilla though, because I haven't updated for a short while.

In case you have activated "nice" URLs: http://yourforum.com/dashboard/settings/
In case you do not have URL Rewrite activated: http://yourforum.com/?p=/dashboard/settings/
Hope this helps :-)
when i try this, http://lovebenz.de/dashboard/settings/ it will forward me to :
http://lovebenz.de/entry/signin?Target=dashboard/settings
with the same error message: This Site is currently in maintenance mode.
Please check back here later.

Thanks
Deactivate the Plugin manually by removing the according line from the file /config/config.php (it's under "Enabled Plugins").
Sorry for the troubles caused.

Hi, I want to contibute some code to your plugin. How can I do it?
@BitFiddler Any feedback is welcome so I can make the plugin more independent to the default vanilla pages.
1) RequiredApplications, actullay doesnt require Vanilla. Nothing is required. Remove 'RequiredApplications' from $PluginInfo (or set to 'Dashboard').
2) Site Settings link must be hidden from non-admins.
Use CheckPermission() function. 3)
C('Garden.WebRoot').$this->GetResource("images/maintenance.png"Better use GetWebResource() here.1. If you see it problems After sign in, Just bring your page to http://www.yourforum.com/dashboard/settings manually.
2. Then you will get your dashboard forum
This is happens because after we login to vanilla forums, it will get us to homepage not to dashboard.

grep is your friend.
