Navigate Site After Login In Maintenance Mode

[g.succu]

Hello everyone,

I have the need of allow the access of my prestashop on maintenance mode to an user of which I don't know the IP address. Is there a way to allow the navigation of the site in maintenance mode after the backoffice login?

For future references I've found the solution overriding the function displayMaintenancePage inside the FrontController.php file of the classes.

Adding these two lines:

 

$cookie = new Cookie('psAdmin');

$id_employee = $cookie->id_employee;

        

and editing the if condition like this

 

if ($id_employee <= 0 && ($this->maintenance == true || !(int)Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_ENABLE'))) {

               

Not so clean but works fine to me.

Thanks for sharing, being a fan of joomla back in the day, it would be nice if maint. page allowed sign in via email address rather than IP.
