How do you make a page private?

[Boss Hog]

Hello everyone,

 

How do you make a page private? I am looking to make only one CMS page private. When users visit that page I would like them to be required to log in to see the page.

unfortunately with default features is not possible.

you can achieve it only with .tpl file modification

you can use in cms.tpl file code like

{if $cms->id==5}
 {if $logged}
  {$cms->content}
 {/if}
{else}
 {$cms->content}
{/if}

So if the page that I want private is the about page what would be the code?

Also, how do you create a CMS user start page? I would like certain users to see a specific message when they log into their account

it's not as easy as it seems.

you can redirect user to a specific cms page with modification of auth controller.

 

but how you want to distinct users ? based on what criterion ?

Please answer the first question first. What would be the code to make a CMS page private? And where would I have to plug the code in at? For example, I created a CMS named "upload". How would I make that private?

i said everything necessary in post #2

replace

 

original $cms->content with code that i suggested to use.

replace also if condition:

{if $cms->id==5}

 

with id which is equal to your CMS page id you want to make private.

how do i know the page id? is the cms page id the name of the actual page?

[vekia]

you can find number of cms page under prefrences > cms tab in back office,

near each cms page you can find it:

Thanks I found the Page Id. It is 6. I went to the cms.tpl file found $cms->content and replaced it with the below and the page was blank. 

 

{if $cms->id==5}
{if $logged}
{$cms->content}
{/if}
{else}
{$cms->content}
{/if}
