During installation

[Avinash]

I plan on installing TP for the first time next week, because I finally have some time off from school. I've been following the development for quite a while, and was waiting for the new version to arrive. I just have a quick question. When TP is installed for the first time, can I somehow disable my site so users dont see it in the default mode? I'd like to add some modules and such before releasing it to the public. Is there any way to do this?

Put your site in Maintance Mode until your finished.

If my site is in maintenance mode, no signs of TP will be seen at all until i take it out?

I think so..yes

!?!

Never tried that myself.. why hide the transformation anyhow?

You need a test site really!

If your SMF install is in its own directory, just disable the links to it whilst you do the work. Leave a message instead to say that work is in orgress, back soon.

Now that would work for sure

Thanks for the replies. I hope putting the forum into maintenance mode wont reveal too much of TP. I want it to be a surprise relaunch. Some people have bookmarked the direct link to the forum, so I doubt disabling links wouldnt do much good.
