Demo Mode
CMS Builder includes an advanced "Demo Mode" feature that let's you setup a secure public demo to demonstrate the software.
The following restrictions are in place while in demo mode:
- A separate copy of the database is created for each demo visitor.
- Demos are automatically removed after 60 minutes.
- Visitors can't see each others changes.
- Visitors can't change any admin settings.
- Visitors can't see MySQL login details or license product keys.
- Visitors can't upload files or delete existing uploads.
- Visitors CAN add, modify and remove records.
- Visitors CAN see their changes in the viewers.
Enabling Demo Mode
To turn demo mode on follow these steps:
- Download the latest "cmsb/data/settings.dat.php" file from your server
- Edit the file and set demoMode = 1 like this:
demoMode = 1
- Upload "cmsb/data/settings.dat.php" back to your server
- If you've previously renamed admin.php while disabling demo mode, rename it back to "admin.php".
- Check if you are in demo mode: login and try to update the Admin settings (you should receive a demo mode error).
Disabling Demo Mode
To turn demo mode off follow these steps:
- Rename "admin.php" to another name to prevent public users from having access while demo mode is disabled.
- Download the latest "cmsb/data/settings.dat.php" file from your server
- Edit the file and set demoMode = 0 like this:
demoMode = 0
- Upload "cmsb/data/settings.dat.php" back to your server
- Check if you are in demo mode: login (to your renamed admin.php) and try to update the Admin settings (settings should save without errors).
Demo Mode Notices
To display a demo mode notice and countdown timer in the footer of the page go into: Admin > Plugins and enable the "Display Demo Notice" plugin.
Resetting Demos
You can reset a demo at any time by adding ?resetDemo=1 after the url like this:admin.php?resetDemo=1
