We are looking for a textpattern plugin to have a:

It should allow all “special customers” to visit sites not beeing visible for “standard users”.

Does anybody know such a well working plugin?

Best regards Wilhelm

Just use the password tag adding

<txp:password_protect login="theuser" pass="thepassword" />

at the top of your article. A pop-up will appear for visitors of that page which will not load until the login and password fields will be filled.

For sophisticated effects access keys by Stef Dawson should work for you.

mck_login is a good choice. smd_access_keys could be used, but it is primarily for protecting content with a long, unique token string.

You can combine mck_login with smd_user_manager and/or smd_tabber if you want to make admin-side “dashboard” type functionality once a customer has logged in, or you can code stuff yourself using standard Txp tags in a dedicated front-side “members” Section which is only visible to logged-in users.

~~This is how I did it.~~ I lied, I used cbe_frontauth and cbe_members instead of mck_login.

mck_login and cbe_frontauth are not the same: while cbe_frontauth offers more possibilities mck_login offers user registration from frontend. Cbe_frontauth does not, unfortunately.
But if self-registration is not needed, (not mentionend in the starting post) both will fit your needs.

Late to the party I know but see this excellent article on public logins.

Yes, Joe, an excellent article by Kevin Potts, but in the comments to it you also find mentioned the features that are stll missed. Even Kevin itself calls it “Textpattern’s biggest deficiency” .
Shouldn’t we start a crowfunding or so for something like a merge of cbe_frantauth, mck_login and smd_user manager?

I would be willing to contribute to something like that – I’m still playing around with each of these, and to be honest I’m mixing them up ie. using some elements of each.
