Changing the "Down For Maintenance" to "Under Construction"

[SilverHD]

Hello:

I am in the process of rebuilding an old FrontPage site with ZenCart. I would like to make it live in the very near future and I need to change the verbiage from "Down For Maintenance" to "Under Construction, We are in the process of rebuilding our site with many new features for our customers." Underneath, I would like to place something where they could leave their email address to be updated as to when the "Grand Reopening" will be held.

First, I am not sure where the "under construction" file is so I could change it, and I don't know how to add the email part. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Silver

PS: It looks like I found it: /includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_down_for_maintenance_default.php

I would still like to know how to place a box so that my customers can enter their email?????

Thanks much,

Hello again:

I just took a look at the

tpl_down_for_maintenance_default.php

file. This is not the file where I can alter the text message and that is what I want to do. Can someone tell me where I can find that?

Thank you in advance for your help.

In your languages folder:
includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/down_for_maintenance.php

Add the email box to:
tpl_down_for_maintenance_default.php below the 'echo DOWN_FOR_MAINTENANCE_STATUS_TEXT;'

I hate to tell you again but the down_for_maintenance.php file isn't there. There is an about_up.php and a couple of others, but not that!

If it's not there, copy the one that is located in your

includes/templates/TEMPLATE_DEFAULT/templates/

INTO

your override template - the one I'm referring to as YOUR_TEMPLATE

I am sorry but I had already downloaded -includes/templates/TEMPLATE_DEFAULT/templates/down_for_maintenance.php and, as I said before, ther verbiage that I am looking to change is not there. I understand what YOUR_TEMPLATE means.

Thank you.

In your languages folder:
includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/down_for_maintenance.php

Add the email box to:
tpl_down_for_maintenance_default.php below the 'echo DOWN_FOR_MAINTENANCE_STATUS_TEXT;'

Again, this is the file that contains all of the text:
includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/down_for_maintenance.php

Hello again:

I am publishing this so everyone can learn from it. No animosity involved. I just want to help anyone else who is in the situation that I was in. The following is the file that you need to go to to alter the "Down for Maintenance" file.

includes/languages/english/down_for_maintenance.php

The information that you need to alter is here:
Line #26 : define(('DOWN_FOR_MAINTENANCE_TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Down for Maintenance ...');

You will want to alter the information in red. Do not remove the single quotes ' '.

I hope this helps anyone else that may have the same problem. Have a Super Day.
