great Denis as ever...

Plugin tested on 2.6.2, 2.6.2 is needed for alert / flash message.

I suppose there is a typo: 2.62 [strike]2.6.2[/strike] [strike]2.06[/strike]

Totally right

Plugin must work in all 2.50 for the maintenance , but i need this event github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/commit/...e48db78e1bf65a3b4R40 for a clean warning message.

I work on 2.6 compatibility version now (and surely add this new event on 2.6_sp )

Hi Denis, great stuff, thank you... I upgraded to 2.62.1 but while the warning message is shown, people can still complete the survey... also, the plugin didn't redirect?!?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Strange : no {MINUTES} are set ?

I completely tested the plugin yesterday.

Do you have a time difference between server and real ? You are connected as admin ?

PS : if warning is shown : it's because time on maintenance are not here : framagit.org/SondagePro-LimeSurvey-plugi...tenanceMode.php#L119
PS : seems i didn't use dateShift for warning : framagit.org/SondagePro-LimeSurvey-plugi...tenanceMode/issues/1

Yeah, I was editing the warning text, I don't think that's anything major...

Hmmm, what do you mean, the difference between server and real?

Yeah, I'm logged in as admin...

I'll dig further...

Loggued as admin : you have the check the setting to disable public part to admin too.

For time diff it's about : www.limesurvey.org/manual/Optional_settings#Language_.26_time timeadjust : www.limesurvey.org/manual/Global_settings#Overview_.26_Update

I didn't test with difference here (and seems i have a little bug with warning : maintenance get timeadjust but not warning)

@bruce78 : i review code for timeadjust.

Now : i show the 'server adjusted time' and take it in the 2 part.

Please update to last version : nigthly version are updated too.

Hi Denis, I tested the latest github build yesterday but never got the website is in maintenance mode... I could always fill out a survey, even if I was in another browser and not logged in...?

I don't understand : can not reproduce ....

I add some log, and ask you to show the log. What date/time are shown now in plugin settings ?

Thanks Denis, I'll get back to you once I get a chance to test again....

I suspect the date and time thing might be a problem... the server is probably on London/CET time and my browser is on South African time?

Yes , and maybe i do some error for the date/time system.

Still : you can see the
- server date/time in global settings : www.limesurvey.org/manual/Global_settings#General (see Time difference (in hours) )
- corrected date/time in plugin settings (according to Time difference set)

BUT : maybe i made miscalculation when i try to find the good time for maintenace mode.

1st check : put yesterday in maintenance mode : see what happen
2nd check : put tomorrow in maintenance mode + use this as alert:
