Down for Maintenance-- viewing them before it goes live again

[dimsumgurl]

Hello All!

Im still fairly new to Zencart and Im not sure if this is possible.

Im using 1.3.8

When I have my site down for maintenance, nothing on the site is accessible. Right now as Im building it, I am creating accounts and logging in to test and see the things that I have done.

How will I be able to view these changes first before putting it back live if I can't review it? Is there some secret way to access? like you type a different URL?

Thank you!

Admin->Configuration->Website maintenance->Down For Maintenance (exclude this IP-Address)

Down For Maintenance (exclude this IP-Address)
This IP Address is able to access the website while it is Down For Maintenance (like webmaster)
To enter multiple IP Addresses, separate with a comma. If you do not know your IP Address, check in the Footer of your Shop.

You'll find your current IP address in your admin menu bar, inside [square brackets] beside the date. You can copy and paste it from there.

THANK you very much for that info!

Super thanks. I didn't even know how to find my ip address, let alone that it was viewable in my admin the whole time. This down for maintenance feature is a great way to edit my site while down without a testing server. Zen Cart wins again!
