Hi,
Just want to know if anyone can make plugin like this.
Dont' tell me about MyBB Board Online / Offline. This is obviously same like Board Online / Offline but not at all.
From Wordpress
Quote:Adds a splash page to your blog that lets visitors know your blog is down for maintenance. Logged in administrators get full access to the blog including the front-end.
Visitors will see a message like "Maintenance Mode - SITE is currently undergoing scheduled maintenance. Please try back in 60 minutes. Sorry for the inconvenience."

Sorry, I don't really see how this is different from Online/Offline mode.
But I did it like this:
in .htaccess
# Maintenance
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !mybbuser=123_abcdef
RewriteRule ^ 503.php [L]
It matches your mybbuser cookie. 123 is your uid and abcdef your secret auth key. Without the cookie it will rewrite you to 503.php.
503.php:
<?php
@header("HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable");
@header("Status: 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable");
@header("Retry-After: 3600");
@header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8");
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>503 Service Temporarily Unavailable</title>
</head>
<body>
<img style="float:left" src="http://www.other-site.tld/logo.png">
<h1>Maintenance</h1>
<p>We're temporarily down for maintenance.</p>
</body>
</html>
The advantage / difference to MyBB Offline/Online is that it blocks the entire site, including static contents etc., and not just the forum. So you can move things about in general and play with plugins and code changes to MyBB that could break it, including breaking the offline message of stock MyBB.
Do you want to show an splash page with the details of Maintenance Mode information / details.

Yes. That's what I want.
