RockGatekeeper
A lightweight ProcessWire module that provides simple password protection for your website using a configurable gatekeeper password.
Overview
RockGatekeeper adds a basic authentication layer to your ProcessWire site. When enabled, it blocks access to all pages for guest users unless they provide the correct password via URL parameter.
Features
Minimal footprint: Only runs when gatekeeper is configured
Session-based: Once authenticated, users stay logged in for the session
IP tracking: Remembers the IP address of authenticated users
Clean URLs: Automatically removes the password parameter from URLs after authentication
CLI safe: Won't interfere with command-line operations
Installation
Copy the RockGatekeeper folder to your site/modules/ directory
Install the module in ProcessWire admin
Configure the gatekeeper password in your site config
Configuration
Add the gatekeeper password to your site configuration:
// In site/config.php
$config->gatekeeper = 'your-secret-password';
Usage
Basic Authentication
To access the protected site, users need to append the password as a URL parameter:
https://yoursite.com/?gatekeeper=your-secret-password
After successful authentication, users will be redirected to the same page without the password parameter, and they'll have access to the entire site for the duration of their session.
