Login form for single non-admin password

Hi there.

I want to password protect a textpattern install using <txp:password_protect /> for simplicity. I want only a single user and password, so there’s no need for the brilliance of ign_password_protect.

However, I would like to have a styled login form to access the protected install. I therefore have a section “face” as my frontpage with a login form, and the other sections protected (I know that leaves some backend issues, but I’m not looking for serious protection here).

My problem: I cannot get the login form to call the passworded section without the pop-up prompt coming up as well. Current code:

<code>
<fieldset>
<form action=”/passwordedsection” method=“post”>
<p><label for=“login”>Name</label>
<input id=“login” type=“text” name=“login” value=”“ class=“edit” /></p>
<p><label for=“pass”>password</label>
<input id=“pass” type=“password” name=“pass” value=”“ class=“edit” /></p>
<p><input type=“submit” name=”“ value=“Log in” class=“publish” /></p>
</fieldset>
</code>

Please help. Many thanks!

That’s not possible with password_protect, I’m afraid, that’s how that tag works (HTTP_AUTH).

Re: Login form for single non-admin password

Grrr. I thought that might be the case. Thanks for the reply — your responses to many other questions on these boards have been incredibly helpful to me over the past year or so.
