Password protected articles?

I recently installed TXP for a customer and it works like a charm.

But I feel there is a feature lacking in TXP, namely password protected articles.

The site I’m developing is for a museum and they want to be able to have a password protected presskit site.

What I need is the following:

1. Password protected login in order to view content.
2. Self registration is prohibited.
2. The user isn’t allowed to enter TXP admin-panel.

Any ideas?

Re: Password protected articles?

You can also take a look at the ign_password_protect plugin. It allows you to maintain a seperate table of people you can access password protected content. The built-in txp tag makes you hardcode a the login and password. With the ign plugin you can begin to create a restricted access community.

Note: I’m not aware of how secure the plugin is, so please review the developer’s documentation and talk with him before using it to protect highly confidential information.

Thank you.

That plugin was just about what I was looking for.

The remaining problem is file permissions.

Any ideas how to set specific permissions for files in order to prevent anonymous users to DL a file?

I can tell you there’s no built-in way.
