Sitedown page

Status: done (100%)

What it is

The maintenance page shown to visitors while the site is closed (maintainance_flag pref). Core redirects guests to sitedown.php, which loads the template from THEME/templates/sitedown_template.php (v2.x location) and parses it with the full parser — every shortcode works here, there is no simpleParse() trap like on the fpw path.

Main admin can open sitedown.php directly and preview the page while the site is still online.

Design

Based on Tabler's error-maintenance.html: body.border-top-wide .border-primary → .page.page-center → .container-tight → .empty component with {LOGO: h=80}, {SITEDOWN_TABLE_PAGENAME} as the title and {SITEDOWN_TABLE_MAINTAINANCETEXT} (admin-set HTML) as the subtitle. The big illustration SVG from the Tabler page was dropped in favour of the site logo.

Key implementation points

• The sitedown page bypasses the theme header pipeline — no theme CSS loads automatically. {SITEDOWN_THEME_CSS} covers only the root style.css, so css/tabler.min.css is linked explicitly via the THEME_ABS PHP constant.

• Replaced the XHTML 1.1 doctype and Bootstrap 3 / FontAwesome 4 CDN links from the core template with local theme assets.

• Added viewport meta (missing upstream — the page shrank on mobile) and noindex robots meta.

• The maintenance text sits in a <div>, not <p> — the pref content contains its own block HTML.

• Root style.css is loaded last; it carries the img.img-responsive fix that the {LOGO} output needs under Tabler CSS.

Social icons — the aragorn template variant

{XURL_ICONS} supports template variants (e107_plugins/social/templates/social_xurl_template.php, overridable at THEME/templates/social/social_xurl_template.php). The theme adds an aragorn variant rendering Tabler brand buttons — the color comes from Tabler's btn-facebook, btn-instagram, ... classes, the icon is the core inline SVG delivered by the {XURL_ICONS_SVG} shortcode (e107_plugins/social/svg/<network>.svg):

{XURL_ICONS: template=aragorn&type=facebook,twitter,instagram,youtube,flickr,vimeo,github,linkedin}

This removed two stylesheet dependencies from the page (FontAwesome and the social plugin CSS) and the same call can be reused in the site footer. The upstream default variant is kept in the override file, because a theme override replaces the plugin template file entirely.
