VLeTeacher Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hi, I've finished installing my Prestashop and everything seems to be working ok. I am now in the process of tweaking the theme and adding products. Whilst I'm doing that I have placed my shop under maintenance - so far no problems. I've added my IP to the white list and all is good. Problem is: I have my own maintenance page and I want to do an auto-redirect from http://www.vleteacher.com to http://www.vleteacher.com/under-construction So far, I have tried adding this line <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url=http://www.vleteacher.com/under-construction/index.php" /> to the maintenance.tpl (between the <head> tags) but it doesn't work. Does anyone have any idea as to what else I could do to get this to work? Thanks, Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VLeTeacher Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 After hours of mocking about I went crazy on this thing. I ended up deleting all of the Prestashop HTML in the maintenance.tpl and replaced it with very simple static HTML. At first it didn't work but I went into performance and forced Smarty to recompile & not cache and then bingo. For reference, I have attached my maintenance.tpl file. It ain't a pretty solution but it works for me I hope this helps someone else in the same situation maintenance.tpl.zip Cheers, Fred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasemans Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Thanks for this. I had the problem that the old hosting company kept the website on the old URL online. I have told them to shut it down but still no response from them after 4 months. I was stil able to login and change the maintenance.tpl file and put the website offline. all trafic is being redirected towards the new domain now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
