[TYPO3-dev] TYPO3-Site Maintanance

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey Joh and Steffen,

nah, there is an easier way.... this was on the english ML (or some 
other ML) just a few days ago -- I like the approach:

Just generate another main template (a TS template) that is hidden and 
that you activate once you're going in maintenance mode (and then you 
hide your normal one). Just two clicks.

greetings,
benni.
