Hi,
The SimplePassword radiant extension is great. It's easy to use, uses
clean code and you explain your customers how to use it. If you don't
know it, check it out at http://github.com/yoon/radiant-simple-password-extension/tree/master
However, it's not so good in a few situations. We recently had a
project in which a few pages needed to be protected, not just one
page. The next challenge was that instead of just one username/
password combination, there needed to be a lot of users/passwords. The
site-admin also needed to be able to generate random passwords.
I therefor forked the SimplePassword extension. You can find it at http://github.com/franklouwers/radiant-not-so-simple-password-extension/tree/master
.
After installing, use it as follows:
- create a page, of type PassPage. Delete all page-parts, and create
one that's called "config". In the config-part, specify usernames/
passwords in the "username: pass" format. It's more flexible than
yaml, it can cope with bad syntax. Hint: keep this page "hidden" to
prevent it from showing up on your site/rss/...
- if you need to create random password, there's a (javascript) button
that does just that. (If you need to translate the strings, they are
in app/views/admin/page/_spe_passgen.rhtml)
- All pages that should be protected should have the page type
Protected.
Note: I think by default, Protected pages will show up in the rss
feed. You might want to change that!
