Frog CMS

Hi aesop:

Clicking the "protect" checkbox hides it from users who do not have full admin privileges. If you are preparing a website for a client, for instance, you can "hide" pages that should not be edited by them (usually ones with plenty of PHP code in them!) :)

I don't know about password protection of specific content -- but anyone would need a password of some kind to sign into the admin area ... where they can have "Administrator", "Developer", or "Editor" rights (assigned in the "Users" tab, of course). I'm not sure that there is much documentation on what these levels mean. My guess is:

• Administrator = full access to everything
• Developer = access to everything except the "User" module
• Editor = access only to unprotected pages

Hope that helps!

not the best solution in the world but it works :

var password; var pass1="yourpassword"; password=prompt('Please enter your password to view this page!',' '); if (password==pass1) alert('Password Correct! Click OK to enter!'); else { window.location="http://www.yoursite.com/failed_validation"; }

Add the above code to a js file and link to it from your tags, eg: <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo URL_PUBLIC; ?>public/js/pass.js"></script>

Should work :)

yep - totally aware of its inherent problems - i wouldn't recommend it for any site that needs secure access but as I say it was for a "media" page - just to keep casual passers by out.

ideally it could be done with a plugin so that users can be admistered via the admin panel and a new security level(s) could be assigned to pages.

I think this is one of the biggest leaps frog can make in a future release but for now, javascript is enough to do the job I need it to for the current site I'm working on....
