2.) Yes, you just turn maintenance mode on. It's in admin/config/main if i remember correctly.

1.) Although I've never used that function I would presume it's on the front page of the admin, on the same exact location where the pages are waiting for validation.

User approval:

I tested it on my test site:
Admin gets an email.
So this mean only admin with ID=1

Hi,
You are receiving this email because USERNAME requested a new account.
This user won't be able to login until you manually set the account as 'active', here :

 http://www.YOURSITE.com/users.php?gm=2&s=regdate&w=desc

------------------------------
Maybe a good idea to make it like pages. In validation queue. Because if there are multiple admins anly admin with ID=1 will get the mail.

Alright, I guess this is what I was looking for, although the link simply takes me to the list of Inactive users, and I have to manually go in and change each one's group.

Thanks

Well I suppose if popular demand would like it we could Create a whole special area for that. Though you can easily view inactives also by looking at (ex. http://www.cotonti.com/users.php?gm=2 ). Which I think in most cases any large sites would never use such system, sense it would be very time consuming. So its prob no more hassle to have to open the profile and edit it.

Well I've been messing around with maintenance mode, and I've been able to remove the message that is given while in maintenance mode but users are still not able to register.

I was wondering if anyone here knows where it redirects to the login page if maintenance mode is on, and if it'd be possible to ignore the case of when the user is trying to go to the registration page?

Thanks.

Thanks, that works great.

One last thing, to get the message saying that the admin must approve of the user, but not any of the other messages, like when the user clicks on a screen that's not allowed for them, how could I do that?

I tried

if(isset($_GET['m']) && ($_GET['m'] == 'auth' || $_GET['m'] == 'register' || $_GET['msg'] == '118'))
{
define('SED_AUTH', TRUE);
}

But I think maybe there's a page that it loads between clicking "Submit" and getting to that message, because that didn't work.

Thanks,
Jeff

Well, I spoke a little too soon. Everything works up through the user registering. But, once the user is registered and logged in, the only thing they are able to get to is still the login page.

How could I go about changing the lower limit of the authorization level to allow regular member to still use the site, without having to make them moderators?

Thanks,
Jeff

Well in case anyone comes across this topic, and wants to know how to do it. You'll have to manually change the database.

Under the table sed_groups, you'll have to edit the property of the members. There's a property called grp_maintenance that must be set to 1.

I think the command would be
UPDATE sed_groups SET grp_maintenance = '1' WHERE grp_alias = 'members';
