TXP version: 4.3.0+ Ported by: ProText Themes Designer: Magnus Jepson Category: specialised |
This isn’t a full-blown website theme but is a replacement for your “error_503” page template and is for use with Ruud’s rvm_maintenance plugin so you may find it useful when creating a new site or if you need to throw an existing site into “maintenance mode” whilst re-designing.
Because it isn’t a full theme the only modifications it will make to your site are to add or replace an error_503 page template, add the placeholder style sheet, add a new “Placeholder” tab in “Presentation” where you can modify the variables.
Installation uses a modified version of the “cxc_templates” plugin which needs to be installed manually unless you already have it of course. Other plugins installed automatically are “pax_grep” which you may already have, “tbs_placeholder” which creates the new “Placeholder” tab and “yab_email” which you may already have and is used to obfuscate your email address.
Installation will not work with the “mem_templates” plugin so if you have that it will need to be switched off.
If you are already using a ProText theme it will sit alongside it, creating all it’s own folders/files in the “_templates” folder of your site.
The new “Placeholder” tab allows you to change the following:-
- There are 5 colour variations though these are only subtle changes to the body background.
- You can use your own logo. If left blank the site title entered in “Preferences” will be used.
- You can determine whether or not to display the site slogan as entered on the “Preferences” tab.
- You can set the start date.
- You can set the start time.
- You can add your own text below the 503 error title. If left blank the standard Txp error_message tag will be used.
- You can add your own title for the social links block.
- You can enter details for each of the social links. If any are left blank they will not be displayed and the remaining links will be re-centred.
- You can enter your own title for the countdown block.
