Hello. Thanks for the plugin development.
Are you going to continue development and possibly add image uploading to your plugin?
Thanks.
Curt

I created a pull request in github ((https://github.com/wp-plugins/site-launcher/pull/1) for anyone with the same idea ??
]]>This plugin is called Site Launcher in the interest of stealth. It actually arose from my need for a way to automatically “suspend” a website in the case when I launch a site for a client and then experience a major delay in receiving a final payment for my work.
This plugin allows me to tell a client up front – both in my proposal and in my final invoice, that his or her website will automatically be suspended if final payment is not received by a stated date.
The “automatic” aspect of this allows me to operate in a realm that is familiar to users. If you don’t pay your credit card debt, or your domain renewal fee, it stands to reason that these services will be suspended. This plugin helps users understand that their final payment is mandatory.
I used the underConstruction plugin by Jeremy Massel as the basis for Site Launcher. I had already customized underConstruction a great deal for my own use, in particular by adding a log-in form so users could log in directly from the Coming Soon page in order to view the in-progress site.
For Site Launcher, I added a new “Site Suspended” mode, which can be set to present a customized style and messaging that is different from that of the “Coming Soon” page.
I also enabled timers for both “Coming Soon” and “Site Suspended” modes. For the “Coming Soon” mode, a launch date and time can be chosen, after which the site is automatically made live. This is useful for clients who want their launch to correspond with a particular event, like a meeting or press conference. This allows you to make the site live without any real-time intervention on your part.
For the “Site Suspended” mode, you can set a timer that will suspend the site automatically on the date and time you choose. When the site is suspended, you can choose which of the site’s users will be demoted to Subscribers without Read privileges, and thus locked out of the site’s dashboard.
Finally, when you install this plugin, it will be hidden from other site administrators, unless you explicitly allow them to see it and access its settings. This feature allows you to give your client Administrator privileges while keeping them from being able to easily disable the plugin.
