Hello everyone, 

Is there a way in DSpace 7 to make maintenance period annoucement for example in case a server shut down is planned ?

Thank you very much.

Cheers,

Hi Pierre,

At this point in time that feature doesn't exist in DSpace 7.  It was part of the DSpace 6 XMLUI's "Administrative Control Panel", and that feature has not yet been ported to DSpace 7. It's currently scheduled in Tier 2 at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+7.0+Status#DSpaceRelease7.0Status-Tier2:Medium-HighPriority  (see also https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/801)

In the meantime, you may be able to modify the Header component temporarily to display such a message.  We have some general instructions on modifying the Header component here: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/User+Interface+Customization#UserInterfaceCustomization-CustomizeLogoinHeader

One could edit
src/themes/dspace/app/home-page/home-news/home-news.component.html to
add the announcement, rebuild and reinstall.
