Hi , I want to know the ways to set open edX LMS in maintenance mode. I saw a module named maintenance dashboard in studio in which there was a option Edit Announcements does it have some thing to do with announcements for maintenance?
No these are announcements for courses , there is no maintenance mode, however you can send bulk emails to inform students of a course that maintenance will be happening at any point.
Hi, Thanks for your suggestion . The approach I’m thinking of is to send an announcement to all students using maintenance dashboard saying “maintenance is scheduled at some time” then stop LMS in backend during that time. but the problem I’m facing is when I send an announcement using maintenance dashboard it is not reaching the students LMS site. I even enabled [‘ENABLE_ANNOUNCEMENTS’] feature in config files.
I’m looking for a solution to send announcements
Thank you
This feature worked with the old Learner Dashboard. The new Learner Dashboard MFE doesn’t have it by default.
If you want to show maintenance message in the new leaner dashboard you can fork the repo and implement it or use Frontend Plugin Framework (redwood) to customize it as written in the mfe repo (I think it possible though I’ve never tried it)
I use this option to put global notice:
admin/status/globalstatusmessage
