Re: Offline FA

The easiest way (without coding) and assuming your htaccess puts .html ahead of .php is to simply make an index.html file and copy it into your root directory.
You could also swap in a spare index.php that just echo's that the system is currently not available.
Other than this, you could make a simple mod to index.php that checks a global variable eg. in config.php and displays 'system unavailable'.
