Partial read-only mode

[jimkleiber]

@daniel

We recently added a “staff writes only” mode - it’s a readonly mode that only affects non-staff. It allows staff to login, post, change settings, etc, while other users see a site that is effectively in readonly mode.

Usage

To enable, from the console, run:

Discourse.enable_readonly_mode(Discourse::STAFF_WRITES_ONLY_MODE_KEY)

and to disable:

Discourse.disable_readonly_mode(Discourse::STAFF_WRITES_ONLY_MODE_KEY)

Now that this has been added, is there any plan to add this as an option to the scheduled read only plugin?

@RGJ

Actually the scheduling is not part of this plugin, that’s the scheduled-readonly plugin which works closely together with the prevent-posting plugin.
