Kirby Maintenance Mode Plugin

This plugin uses the route:before hook to hide the whole website from not-logged-in users when option('maintenance') is set to true. It also sends a 503 code.

Kirby urls like assets, api, media, panel will be ignored and are still available.

Installation

composer require moritzebeling/kirby-maintenance
composer update moritzebeling/kirby-maintenance

Or download/clone this repo into site/plugins of your Kirby project.

There are different ways to control the maintenance mode:

Via option

// site/config.php
return [
    // one line switch
    'maintenance' => true,

    // more detailed configuration
    'moritzebeling.kirby-maintenance' => [
        'ignore' => [],
        'css' => false,
        'text' => 'This website is currently under maintenance and will be back online soon.',
    ]
];

Via panel

Add a field maintenance to the site.yml blueprint to meet the condition $site->maintenance()->isTrue().

Via $site->maintenance_text() you could edit the text that would welcome any logged out website visitor.

You can also use one of the prefabricated blueprint parts:

• tabs/maintenance
• sections/maintenance
• fields/maintenance
• fields/maintenance_text

Via file

You could also add a /.maintenance file to the Kirby root directory to switch on maintenance mode. This method is used by bnomei/kirby3-janitor plugin. If you enter any text inside that file, this will be the output when the site is in maintenance mode.

Add style

With the moritzebeling.kirby-maintenance.css option you could add a stylesheet, e.g.:

/* /assets/css/maintenance.css */
body {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 1rem;
    display: flex;
    text-align: center;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}
.message {
    max-width: 500px;
}
