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:
  1. Download the latest "cmsb/data/settings.dat.php" file from your server
  2. Edit the file and set demoMode = 1 like this:
    demoMode = 1
  3. Upload "cmsb/data/settings.dat.php" back to your server
  4. If you've previously renamed admin.php while disabling demo mode, rename it back to "admin.php".
  5. 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:
  1. Rename "admin.php" to another name to prevent public users from having access while demo mode is disabled.
  2. Download the latest "cmsb/data/settings.dat.php" file from your server
  3. Edit the file and set demoMode = 0 like this:
    demoMode = 0
  4. Upload "cmsb/data/settings.dat.php" back to your server
  5. 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

If you have any other questions about demos or demo mode please feel free to post in the forum.
