Offline is a simple Django app to put a Django Web application under
maintenance/offline mode using a simple interface under admin login.

Quick start
-----------

1. Add "offline" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'offline',
)

2. Add the OfflineMiddleware to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES list
(after SessionMiddleware and AuthenticationMiddleware) in settings.py
file of your project:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
...
'offline.middleware.OfflineMiddleware',
)


3. Run `python manage.py syncdb` to create models for storing application status.

4. Visit the admin site to set your Web application to offline mode by
setting offline flag (you'll need the Admin app enabled).

5. You can customize the message shown on the website while the web application is in offline mode.
