Hi @all...
i try to figure out how to put a live website into the maintenance-mode, but leave it fully accessible by a fixed IP-Range of developers so that bugs can be fixed and tested in a fully running site...
I've thought about this problem as well and created the Maintenance Helper module: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/maintenance_hel... It leaves the site accessible, but prevents users from logging in unless they have a specific permission. It could probably be modified to take an IP range as an admin setting to determine who gets to login as well. I guess I should make a project page for it so it gets an issue queue and we can discuss these kinds of things ;) The concept was discussed http://groups.drupal.org/node/10582 prior to building it which has some good ideas on the field.
