Description

The purpose of this add-on is to set the mode of your store: Open, Closed, or Maintenance
The settings are defined in the Admin->Configuration->Store Mode and in the language files
Set Store Mode-> Open, Closed, or Maintenance
Open Store Mode:
Fully functioning ecommerce webstore
Closed Store Mode:
While in Closed mode, your customers will be able to create accounts, browse the store, and add products to their basket; however, they will NOT be able to checkout until you reopen the store in the Admin. Your customers will see a friendly message on your index AND shopping cart pages informing them of this and telling them the date and time the
store plans to reopen.
Closed Store Features:
Allows your customers to create accounts
Allows your customers and search engines to browse
Allows your customers to add items to the cart
Saves shopping carts for delayed checkout
Prohibits customers from checking out of the store
Displays a friendly message on the index and shopping cart pages
Public notice before going offline
Maintenance Store Mode:
While in Maintenance mode, your customers will ONLY be able to access the Maintenance Page; however, you (the store owner) are granted full access to your website to test the changes you are making to your store. This is determined by the admin/owner's IP Adress which is automatically detected in the Admin section of this addon. As you browse your webstore, you will see a warning message at the top of your screen which reminds you that your store is in Maintenance Mode and that your customers will be expecting your store to return online at the date and time entered in the Admin. In order to see what your customers see while in Maintenance Mode you will either need to go to your store website from a different computer
(with a different IP Address) or follow the steps in the Troubleshooting section. You must manually reopen the store in the Admin. While the store is in Open Mode, your customers are denied access to the Maintenance Page.
Maintenance Store Features:
Choose filename (default is index_maintenance.php)
Hide the header
Hide the left column
Hide the right column
Hide the footer
Hide the product prices
