Update in progress page customization

[DamonT]

It would be great if it was possible to edit the page shown during the update. It's a small thing, but it would certainly be better if it would be possible to display there our logo + information that it's a scheduled technical break and we invite you to visit our blog or social media during this time. I know it's a mechanism detached from the whole system, but on Wordpress it's possible to do something like that and it works great (it's done through a separate maintenance.php file).

In my opinion, the current template does not look very good for the user who will then enter the site (especially when this message is only in english).

You can do this by using the constants.php file.

define( 'UPGRADING_PAGE', 'file.html' );

Note, the path entered must be from the root of your directory, so in this example if you site was at https://test.com/forums, then this file would be located at https://test.com/forums/file.html

This message is only displayed while the community is offline.  It is not displayed during an upgrade.  While the site is being upgraded, you would have to set the constants.php variable noted by Matt.
