ign_password_protect

markusfalk · 2007-09-15 17:25:53

Hi,

the idea is simple. All I wanted was to show individual content to specific users after login. I tried this:

<txp:ign_password_protect remember=“0”>

<txp:asy_wondertag> <txp:article_custom category=”<txp:ign_logged_user />” /> </txp:asy_wondertag>

</txp:ign_password_protect>

I wanted to load articles from the category matching the login name but the ign_logged_user tag only shows me a logout link. What do I have to do to just get the username returned? Help would be greatly appreciated

@zoltandragon – I just had one of those “d’oh’ moments. You are correct that the logout link is broken in messy url mode, becuase the ? is hardcoded into the logout link. But there’s no reason I can’t handle that differently. I’ve been unbelievably swamped of late, but I’m hopeful that I can find some time to fix this in the near future.

@markus – if you’re using the 0.5 version, you can bend the logged_user output to your will using a form – by default ign_current_user¹ looks for a form ‘current_user’ and if none exists, then it uses the following form to render the output:

<div class='active'>
 <p><txp:ign_user_info type="realname" /><br />
 <txp:ign_logout_link>Log out</txp:ign_logout_link></p>
</div>

It’ll also accept any form passed in using the form attribute. So, in your case, since all you want is the user name, then you’d create a form that only contains <txp:ign_user_info type="name" />. If you called the form “username_form”, then your code would be:

<txp:ign_password_protect remember=“0”>

<txp:asy_wondertag> <txp:article_custom category=”<txp:ign_current_user form="username_form" />” /> </txp:asy_wondertag>
</txp:ign_password_protect>

Make sense?

¹ ign_logged_user has been renamed to ign_current_user, as I think that better reflects the function of the tag. However, ign_logged_user is currently an alias for ign_current_user, for backwards compatibility.

I created a form like you said. Then added:

<txp:asy_wondertag>
<txp:article_custom allowoverride=“0” category=”<txp:ign_logged_user form=“current_user”/>” pgonly=“0” />
</txp:asy_wondertag>

but it is still not working the way it should. And I don’t understand the logic of the new 0.5 version. How du I get rid of the remember me functionality now that it is deprecated within <txp:ign_password_protect> ???

<txp:ign_logged_user form=“current_user”/> used seperately produces the right output.
Has anyone tried this before or does anyone know how to output content sensitive to the logged in user?

thx

Try using <txp:article_custom category="username" /> without the wondertags. I think you’ll find that it still doesn’t work as you’d like / expect. You’ll need to re-work how you’re calling the data, but the asy_wondertag combo with the form will definitely take you in the right direction.

I’ve already tried it that way but still nothing. Then I copied the exact output of the ign tag into the category attribute and it still doesn’t load the right content. It seems only the combination won’t output the right content.

Right – what I was trying to suggest is that you need to work it out using a static value for the category until you get the desired results, and then use the technique you were trying before (asy_wondertag + ign_current_user) to convert it to a dynamic process.

I got ya … thats what I did and everything works fine until I combine it

for validation please remove the alt attribute added to the logout link

Hey hey all, this is a great plugin

Im using this plugin on my site but im getting a problem when a user navigates the site using IE and then goes to the password protected areas after they login and they start to navigate through the password protected pages For each page they have to login again. Im guessing its a cookie problem.

Works perfect in Firefox. So its just a stupid IE bug im using version 0.5b4 of this plugin. Can someone help?

Has anyone found a way to lock away files while using this plugin because any user can just simply increment the id of the download link url and geht access to all files ???
