Re: Restrict content
To start with
..but beats me how to work around the problem scenario noted in Textbook. :/

Re: Restrict content
TXP is not ready yet (or not designed to) handle real user auth/data restriction.

Re: Restrict content
Define “real”?-)
I think making all article forms something like
<txp:if_article_section name="protected">
<txp:password_protect />
</txp:if_article_section>
<txp:title />
<txp:body />is ‘working enough’. But that’s only for articles and not for files. :( Authentication is about at same level with content expiration (with plugins) IMHO. ‘Works – kind of” but can break easily.
When I needed a private (extra- and intranet) part I made another Textpattern installation. Worked for me but wasn’t very elegant being separated from the main installation.
