Control site status before menu dispatching.
The hook is called after checking whether the site is offline but before the current router item is retrieved and executed. If the site is in offline mode, $menu_site_status is set to MENU_SITE_OFFLINE.
$menu_site_status: Supported values are MENU_SITE_OFFLINE, MENU_ACCESS_DENIED, MENU_NOT_FOUND and MENU_SITE_ONLINE. Any other value than MENU_SITE_ONLINE will skip the default menu handling system and be passed for delivery directly.
$path: Contains the system path that is going to be loaded. This is read only, use hook_url_inbound_alter() to change the path.
Note: this list is generated by pattern matching, so it may include some functions that are not actually implementations of this hook.
function hook_menu_site_status_alter(&$menu_site_status, $path) {
// Allow access to my_module/authentication even if site is in offline mode.
if ($menu_site_status == MENU_SITE_OFFLINE && user_is_anonymous() && $path == 'my_module/authentication') {
$menu_site_status = MENU_SITE_ONLINE;
}
}
