Allow login to a read-only site

I did an import of some Wordpress data to an already active site. I thought it would be a Good Idea to put the site in read-only mode while I was doing the import so that people wouldn’t add data to the site that would get erased when the site + import_data was uploaded.

That’s a Bad Idea. Now I can’t log in. On a self-hosted site, you can fix this from the rails console, on a hosted site, however, you’re stuck (I just emailed team). I tried /users/admin-login, but it can’t work either (obvious in retrospect).

This doesn’t seem like that much of an edge case, shouldn’t there be a way to freeze a site that still allows admins to log in?

Just log in before you start read only. Seems simple enough?

Certainly simpler than “we must invent a time machine!”

Yeah, but somehow my cookies must have been deleted or something. Or what if the guy who put the site in read-only got hit by a bus?

As an alternative (or addition), perhaps a way to set a timer when enabling Read Only? Something like: Enable Read Only for: X hours.

Or maybe a special URI specifically to disable read only mode? Something like /admin/read-only which displays a login box for an administrator account and then disables read only when the credentials are correct. That wouldn’t need write-access to the database I imagine (only read to check the credentials).

Yeah. If I’d thought ahead to have an API key I probably could have fixed it that way. One of my plans is a remote control panel to do things like that. I think that there are a handful of tasks that it would be handy to be able to do via API calls via a remote web interface. Things like:

  • Creating sets of categories with certain colors and permissions for a particular purpose
  • control settings for sets of users
  • help to walk a user through Wordpress integration

It seems a little bizarre to build a web interface to remotely control a web app, but plugins get stale, and hosted people can’t install them anyway.

كاد أن يحدث لي ذلك اليوم.
لم أكن أعرف أنه بمجرد تمكين هذا الوضع، وإذا أغلقت تبويب نافذة التصفح المتخفي بالخطأ، فلا توجد طريقة لتسجيل الدخول مجددًا!!!

يا إلهي!!!

كم كان من السهل أن أغلق نفسي خارج النظام!!!

وليس أقل من معجزة أنني بعد خمس دقائق فقط من تعطيل ‘وضع القراءة فقط’، صادفت هذا المنشور!!!
الآن على الأقل سأحاول تذكر هذا الأمر في المستقبل، كلما أردت تعديل بعض إعدادات المسؤول!!!

أي شخص يقرأ هذا الموضوع، لقد وجدت حلاً في موضوع مشابه آخر هنا.

في حال تم إغلاق حسابنا، يمكننا تشغيل هذا الأمر في وحدة تحكم Rails لتعطيل وضع ‘القراءة فقط’:

Discourse.disable_readonly_mode(Discourse::USER_READONLY_MODE_KEY)
