Page Protector

Hi @sebr - when I test your module, it saves the the data truncated to 65535 characters. I don't get any error. 

I also tested the module saveModuleConfigData() method with a long string, and again it just truncates it.

All I can think is that there was a DB error during the save which removed the data. Maybe saveModuleConfigData (or actually saveConfig) needs a try catch to make sure an error can't delete data?

Hi @adrian,

Long time no speak. Quick question. I'm using this method to insert the form into my web page:

if($page->protected) {
	echo $page->loginForm;
} else {
	// show some $page images here
}

The form shows up and I'm able to login but it then shows nothing beyond where the form sits, even if I refresh. Am I missing something?

Cheers
Marty

Hi @Marty Walker - hope you're well!

I think perhaps you don't quite have things right, but I am really guessing at this point. Keep in mind that if you want to embed into the site you need a dedicated template as defined in the settings and you shouldn't need the if($page->protected)  check.

Does that help at all, or am I missing the point entirely?

Hi Marty,

I think the problem is that you don't want to protect the page that is using the portfolio template. And as I mentioned above you also don't want the if($page->protected)  check.

What you want is to protect the pages that have the images you're trying to restrict access to (using the option on the settings tab). Everything else will be taken care of by the module.

Hope that gets you going and sorry if the instructions aren't clear.

Hi Adrian:

We have an odd issue that's cropped up with our protected page module. We set up a 'review' access role (essentially a guest role so they need to log in to review a hidden page). It's worked perfectly for a long time and now it doesn't.

People can only view the page if they are logged into the /admin area first, then they can go to the hidden protected page and login there too. This is true even when logging in with super admin creds. 

Both sites (we have more but I'm focusing on these two) are using 7.4 php and 3.0.208 / 3.0.210 PW versions.

What users experience: they go to the protected page link, enter their login creds and submit. The login page reloads rather than letting you through to the page.

The only way to get to the page is to log into the /admin back end first, then logging into the protected page. This is awkward / clumsy for the site visitor who don't need back end access.

I'm wondering if you have ideas on what could be the issue. Is the latest PW version affecting things / conflicting? Or something else we should be looking at?
