The Maintenance Mode add-on for SuiteCRM helps companies ensure their users are off the CRM before starting system upgrades, development evolutions, or plugin installations. With a special Admin option for ‘maintenance mode,’ prevent non-admin users from logging in, plus many other valuable features.
Admin Guide
Settings
To config and enable / disable the Maintenance Mode addon, you have to log as an administrator and go to the admin page:
In the Maintenance Mode panel click on: "Configuration":
Enable / Disable
Click on the checkbox to activate or disactivate the Maintenance Mode:
If you enable it, and hit Save:
- any non Admin User will be redirected to the Maintenance Page as soon as he clicks any button.
- Non Admin Users won't be able to login until you disable the Maintenance Mode
- Admin Users will continue to work as usual
Please note that if you don't set anything in the Maintenance Page box, your Users will be prompted to a blank page.
HTML code of your Maintenance Page
You can communicate to your Users that the system is down for maintenance, customizing as you wish the Maintenance Page:
Here you'll find an example:
<!doctype html>
<title>CRM system under maintenance</title>
<style>
body { text-align: center; padding: 150px; }
h1 { font-size: 50px; }
body { font: 20px Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #333; }
article { display: block; text-align: left; width: 650px; margin: 0 auto; }
a { color: #cc0000; text-decoration: none; }
