Drupal website read-only mode to lock site from updates while upgrading

Having a live drupal website, that needs to be upgraded, or just a simple task such as adding Languages or changing a Themes, we would like to hold all content changes, till the work is done.

 

We found a nice module to set the site for Read-Only mode

http://drupal.org/project/readonlymode

 

Using the module is simple, just need to check the box, and the site moves to a Read-Only mode

 

The only thing missing in that module was that it still allows to add comments.

 

Since we consider comments an important type of content,

we wrote a code to block user comments update as well:

Testimony

I have worked with DevArt for over a year and I highly recommend them for any drupal needs.

 

What has impressed me most about Avior, is his loyalty and integrity. He has always been there for my company and because I was a start up company even helped me out on a payment plan. He's also a very hard worker and worked many late nights before my launch
