Page Protector

Functionality

  • Ability for your site editors to control the user access to pages directly from Settings tab of each page
  • Include whether to protect all children of this page or not
  • Optionally allow access to only specified roles
  • Option to protect all hidden pages (and optionally their children)
  • Ability to change the message on the login page to make it specific to this page
  • Option to have login form and prohibited message injected into a custom template
  • Access to the "Protect this Page" settings panel is controlled by the "page-edit-protected" permission
  • Table in the module config settings that lists the details all of the protected pages
  • Shortcut to protect entire site with one click

API method

You can make changes to the protection settings of a page via the API

// all optional, except "page_protected", which must be set to true/false
// if setting it to false, the other options are not relevant

$options = array(
    "page_protected" => true,
    "children_protected" => true,
    "roles" => array("role1", "role2"),
    "message_override" => "My custom login message",
    "prohibited_message" => "My custom prohibited access message"
);

$page->protect($options);

You can also check the status of a page with:

$page->protected
$page->prohibited
