This will let you close or open the store, as well as set the closed message from within the osCommerce administration page.

Note - this is not multi-language capable (unlike the other updates). You type one message through the admin page and that is what is displayed - just like your store name.

First i want thank Monika in germany for this contributions.

I just change some code in the first installation to into the multi languages on_off_shop.

Please always backup first before update.
Use at your own risk.

Update :

4) in catalog/includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php
before ?> add:
define('ON_OFF_SHOP', '<h1>Sorry, shop is temporarily closed.<br>Please wait for

reopening.</h>');

5) do the same in the other languages in catalog/includes/languages/your-languages/shopping_cart.php
before ?> add:
define('ON_OFF_SHOP', '<h1>Your-Languages</h>');
6) in catalog/shopping_cart.php
find :
$closed_message = 'Shop is temporarily closed, please wait for reopening';

and replaces with :
$closed_message = ON_OFF_SHOP';
7) The End and Enjoy it.

I created this module for a store owner whose baby was due anytime and who wanted the store to be functional but not able to take orders while she was in hospital.

The module is very simple to install (3 little file changes, one new database entry).

It allows your customers & search engines to browse, even add items to the cart so they can later check out when you are back, it will only not allow them to leave the shopping cart page to go to checkout shipping. A friendly message is displayed on the cart page.
