Maintenance mode¶

You can use conjunto's built-in maintenance mode. First, make sure you have installed the Settings feature and the URLs correctly.

Then you can set the maintenance mode in your admin panel.

If the maintenance mode is switched on, every request of a user that is not staff (meaning user.is_staff) will be redirected to /maintenance/ which is a simple TemplateView. You must provide a maintenance.html file for this to work properly.

You can access settings.maintenance_title and settings.maintenance_content in that template.

In each view, you can also use the maintenance mode:

def my_view(request):
    if request.settings.maintenance_mode:
        ...
