Password Protected Page - badcat - 2010-04-17
Anyone have any ideas for how to create a password protected page? Or possibly a redirect to a "hidden" page (not listed in the menu)? or a Plugin?
thanks!

Hey,
This is how I did it on one of my sites, needed some quick and easy.
You'll need Customfields plugin installed... setup a new field as a dropdown with one option"protected"
and a second textfield called "password"
Change your template file where you echo the page content to
Code:
if (returnCustomField('pagetype')=="protected"){
include "protected.php";
}
else {
get_page_content();
}The content of protected.php is
Code:
<?php
$password=(isset($_POST['password']) && $_POST['password']!= '') ? $_POST['password'] : '';
$realPassword=returnCustomField('password');
$err="";
if ($password!="" && $password!=$realPassword){
$err="Password Incorrect";
}
if ($password==$realPassword){
get_page_content();
} else {
?>
<div style="text-align:center;"><br/> <br/>
<h2 style="margin-right:0px;">Welcome to the VIP area.</h2>
<br/>
<br/>
<form action="index.php?id=vip" method="post">
Please enter your Password:
<br/> <br/>
<input type="password" name="password" id="password" /><br/>
<input type="submit" value="Enter" />
</form>
<?php
if ($err){
echo "<p class='passFail'>".$err."</p>";
}
?>
</div>
<?php
}
?>Could probably be coded a lot better but he needed something fast and this works for him...
Hope it helps...
Mike....
