Site offline does that already, but makes the site offline (duh!) The code to allow admin logging in but not others could be reused though to do what you want without the site going offline. On 8/21/07, Greg Holsclaw <Greg.Holsclaw@trouvemedia.com> wrote:
I would add one other item.
- a way to turn off login except for the admin. This way you don't have to worry about member contributed content being added, without having to go to maintenance mode.

Hi! I am developing a lot of small sites with Drupal with limited activity and would like to know if there were ever discussion or needs from other "deployers" to have their Drupal website HIBERNATE for a while?
Good example would be websites that: * promote events and are active only just before/during/after event, while rest of the time they have no need for interactive features and dynamic content. Putting a static copy of website would not do it here as website goes back to active mode from time to time. * are temporarily without administrator/webmaster * that want to limit web use to a specific date/time to have people few people that use website come together on-line in sync
...hope this is not too strange and would resonate well with people who understand that web publishing could be more then networked-digitized print ;-)
Best - Zeljko
