I've hacked together a little addon for ~friendica based on the simple sopa blackout plugin for Wordpress.

It's a dirty hack that should redirect all visitors (and your users) from the web to a page similar to this one (but on your instance). API calls and ~friendica network communication should be unhindered from the redirection.

And ATM this addon will only work on 18th Jan 2012, your servers local date.

excellent

Sure. I think it shouldn't be too complicated to make a addong with admin panel interface where one could set the date to blackout and a customizeable page to be redirected to. Maybe even a dynamical generated demo page with a small explanational text, a customizeable image and a link for more informations.

Dear Tobias, will be interesting to ´transform´ your #addon to a generic ´netstrike´ one . Will be possible ?

can we start this project ? i think is very usefull

Here is a little preview for the admin interface

Excellent Tobias ! Thanks a lot . This addon is probably the most important

*head against desk* ... and the solution was that simple m]

Ok, what I have now (will pack it tomorrow morning) is the above form in the admin page and the addon code which sends every not logged in visitor away (if the time fits). Currently logged in users are not send away, thus giving the admin the chance to change the date without having to modify the database.

The URL where the visitor is redirected towards can be any http(s) address you want, giving me less to do and you more flexibility.

You can enter any two dates you want to enter, if you want to redirecting your visitors for 100 years or more...

uups... forgot to post that link.

Please test is somebody, somehow and complain. Currently only on my server, will add it to the addon repository once we tested it

Excellent Tobias ! I have also new idea. You think we can also do a second addon that will help to sign petitions on line ? Like this one but as an example, now we are to sign against acta. If we can put this addon to friendica we will be asking users to sign petition
what you think ?

we just need to upgrade the code a bit so clients will work with it and better integration with Diaspora

Updated #friendica code for #hipatia would be great. I am particularly looking forward to #testbubble theme again...

we need also to design a good backup system . Till now i m doing each 6 hours #backups of the complete #vserver . What you think ?
