Maintenance mode

Sometimes we need to make update on live running site. We may have to update module, add new module or update changes.
Updating the magento site can be risky when the site is running live.

So, the solution is to temporarily put the site in maintenance mode and do the necessary changes.

In magento, we can put the site in maintenance mode by adding the 'maintenance.flag' file at the root of the site. Now, when we browse the site, we will see the screen as shown below:



We can also update the look and content of the above page.
For that, we need to update the content of 503.phtml page found at 'errors/default/' folder at root.
The header and footer template can be found at 'errors/default/page.phtml'.

After we make the changes, we have to remove the maintenace.flag file from the root. Then the site will be live again.

Magento js validation message translation

Magento includes the translator library to translate the js messages that appear on our site. The translator js is already included at the head. To translate our messages, we just need to add the text to transator. For eg: This translator code needs to be added on our phtml file.  Translator.add('Select a color.', "<?php echo $this->__('Select a color.');?>"); Then we need to add the text to translate at locale file i.e translate.csv at the locale folder. However, this will not work for prototype js validation messages that appear on checkout pages. e.g. "This is a required field." etc. To translate these validation messages, we need to we’ll override Magento’s validate method. For that, we need to create an external js file and place it under js folder. For eg: js/lib/translatejs.js Validation.addAllThese([     ['validate-no-html-tags', Translator.translate('HTML tags are not allowed'), function(v) ...
