Hi,

I’m looking for a some kind variable (to use in a template) or a query that can tell me if the site is online or not. I tried locating where this info is stored in the database tables but was unable to find it.

Hi Martin,

The value for that is stored in the $config array in the ‘is_site_on’ key. This is kept as part of the ‘site_system_preferences’ field in exp_sites. This field holds a base64 encoded serialized PHP array of site preferences, which is why it didn’t turn up in searching.

Have PHP enabled in a template and set to parse on output:

<?= $this->EE->config->item('is_site_on'); ?>

Will echo the value as either ‘y’ or ‘n’.

What is the context that you need to use this? I may be able to find a better way if I knew how you would use it.

Cheers,

Great! I see <?= $this->EE->config->item(‘is_system_on’); ?> works also 😊

I have a load of tempates, channels and stuff on a site. I want to build a customized version of http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Cheat_Sheet.

Thanks a lot and enjoy the holiday.

Cheers,
Martin
