EXT: eng_password¶

What does it do?¶

Protects as many pages as you want by password forms.

Screenshots¶

Step 1 – Create Pages¶

Create the page you want to protect and configure it to be hidden, so that nobody can see it during the creation.

Create a subpage under the protected page, name it “login” and configure it to be hidden in menus.

Step 2 – Configure Login Page¶

Add the “login to password protected page” plugin to the “login”-page. This plugin will show the password login form.

Configure it by linking “password protected target page” to the “protected”-page and entering a password to the password field.

Step 3 – Configure Protected Page¶

Add the “password protected page”-plugin to the “protected”-page.

Link the field “login page” to the “login”-page.

Step 4 – Adapt typoscript and templates¶

Copy the file “/typo3conf/ext/eng_password/template/login.html” to your fileadmin folder.

This file is the template file of the login form. The template engine fluid is used to render the template.

You have to configure your typoscript to find this file:

plugin.tx_engpassword_pi2 {
    templateFile = fileadmin/project/templates/extensions/eng_password/login.html
}

You can adapt this template file by your needs.

Step 5 – Test¶

When you call your protected page in the browser you should automatically be redirected to the login page.

When you enter the right password you should be redirected from the login page to the protected page and see the secret content.

Step 6 – Unhide Protected Page¶

When tests are finished you should configure your protected page to be visible for all.
