ign_password_protect to password protect a section
I am using ign_password_protect plugin to password protect a section on my site. When I click the section name I want to be prompted with the browser login dialog but all I get is a page that says “Authorisation required”. Is this the correct behaviour ? I am using FF2 and IE6. If I do login to the site (using login form) I can see the relevant section, so that functionality works. Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: ign_password_protect to password protect a section
It’s not a browser login dialog, it the plugin’s XHTML form :
A private section
The txp:ign_password_protect tag must where the dialog is supposed to be (between <body> and </body>)
My txp:ign_password_protect is set in my main content div in the form that is associated to the private section

Re: ign_password_protect to password protect a section
thanks for the reply.
if it is not possible to use the browser prompt, is it possible to customize the error page that says “Authorisation Required”. I looked through the plugin code but I couldn’t see it. All I can see is ;
header(‘WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=“Private”’);
header(‘HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized’);
exit(gTxt(‘auth_required’));
I am new to txp and to php so I apologise in advance if this seems like a simple question.

Re: ign_password_protect to password protect a section
You should have a look at the plugin documentation to see all tags and parameters… ;-)
Here it is :
http://www.*your-site.com*/textpattern/?event=plugin&step=plugin_help&name=ign_password_protect
(replace “your-site.com”)
And here is an Example of how to use parameters (as the help is not made for txp newbies, I must admit) :
<txp:ign_password_protect err_msg='Wrong login or password man! Try again!' login_msg='Hey ! Why don't you connect ?' remember='1' >
Almost all plugins works that way :
I mean one or several <txp:tags /> or <txp:tags></txp:tags> and parametters used like this inside the tag : parameter="setting"
