Moodle has a built-in maintenance mode feature which is described on https://docs.moodle.org/en/Maintenance_mode. With the maintenance mode, an admin is able to suspend the usage of a Moodle installation to perform updates and other maintenance tasks. The maintenance mode can be either basically controlled in the GUI on /admin/settings.php?section=maintenancemode (on / off only) or can be fully controlled via CLI on /admin/cli/maintenance.php (on / off / scheduled).

As soon as the maintenance mode is scheduled and as long as the maintenance mode is active, a user gets a warning message about the maintenance period. Unfortunately, this warning message is only output on a full page reload. If a user is working in Moodle without reloading the page, for example because he is typing a long forum post, he might not notice that there is a maintenance period scheduled or being activated. Following the forum post example, if the user sends the forum post form after he has finished typing and after maintenance mode has been activated, Moodle does not process the forum post anymore and the post is probably lost.

To prevent problems like these, this plugin adds a live check for a scheduled or activated maintenance mode and will show a maintenance announcement even if there is no full page load.

Please see README file for details about the usage and features of this plugin.
