Hi, Im having trouble creating a user login so that my client can see the sites progress behind the system offline template.

I want to enable minimal access, ideally just so they can see the site.

Tried creating a user in guests and just gave them control panel access but they can still only see just the landing page and we also got this error when trying to access the control panel.

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array

Filename: libraries/Menu.php

Line Number: 208

It also doesnt allow us to logout either.

If I try and select the ‘view site when offline’ option in the member group settings, then the site shows as online regardless whether you are logged in or not???

Any suggestions?

Hi Scott,

I normally use a basic php script in my index.php file to limit users by ip to my dev sites.

$ips = array(
    '0.0.0.0',
    '0.0.0.0',
    '0.0.0.0'
);

if (! in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'],$ips))
{
    require 'site_down.php'; exit;
}

Also if you use a global header you can just use this tag

{if logged_out}{redirect=''}{/if}

and redirect none users to another static page.

Thanks - I used your method with the index.php file and it sorted it.

Thanks again

Scott
