Maintenance Mode: Allow Access to Specific Pages

[celextel108]

Dear Friends,

We are currently using Zen Cart 1.5.8 under PHP 8.1.9 Version at www.celextel.com.

The following custom pages are using application_top.php and hence do not show up during Maintenance Mode.
atom.php
rss.php
sitemap.php

These are directly accessable files and does not use index.php?main_page.

We would like these pages to show up during Maintenance Mode.

Please suggest us the code to be used for this purpose in the following file:
includes/init_includes/init_customer_auth.php

Thanks,

Lakshmanan

Do you want these pages to show up for everyone during Maintenance Mode?

Do you want these pages to show up for everyone during Maintenance Mode?

Yes, please help.

We have been using osCommerce since 2004 and switching over to Zen Cart after testing.

Thanks,

For zc158, add the highlighted lines to /includes/init_includes/init_customer_auth.php (starting at line 37 for zc158) to enable those three scripts (presumably in the site's root directory) to be accessed by everyone even if maintenance-mode is active:

/**
 * check to see if site is DFM, and set a flag for use later
 */
if (DOWN_FOR_MAINTENANCE == 'true') {
  if (!zen_is_whitelisted_admin_ip()){
    if ($_GET['main_page'] != DOWN_FOR_MAINTENANCE_FILENAME) $down_for_maint_flag = true;
  }
//-bof-20221023-lat9-Enable **all** accesses to the root's atom.php, rss.php or sitemap.php to be accessed during maintenance-mode
  if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'atom.php') !== false || strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'rss.php') !== false || strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'sitemap.php') !== false) {
    $down_for_maint_flag = false;
  }
