Looking for a way to lock down the site like maintenance mode, but without having to use maintenance mode.

I don't want to use maintenance mode because I want to have that feature available for it's proper use.

However, I would like to able to have the site viewable as normal for logged in users, and anonymous users just get a screen telling them to login or register. Probably with a login/register box as well. So hopefully something with a template.

Any modules out there or maybe a simple custom module?

  • Why isn't maintenance mode appropriate for you? You can customize the template to say what you want, and control what roles have access to view the site in the mode.

  • @Brian Because what if I actually need to use maintenance mode to lock out ALL users. Well, it's already in use. Plus I don't want the message to appear in the DSM area. Which I know can be changed but, there is obviously a right way to do this, and a lazy way. I'm looking for the right way.

Remove the permission that allows users to view published content. They'll get an access denied message. Create a custom 403 page with the login info and poof! Robert's your mother's brother.

  • Tee hee: "Robert's your mother's brother" equals "Bob's your uncle". Silly colloquialisms.

print screen a login and register page of drupal and enabled it in front page so that the user could see the login and register button.
