• Password protect a page#

    I need (urgently) to password protect a page in ModX Revo.

    The page in question has a few video demos on it that my client only wants viewable
    if you have the password. I don't need to create lots of 'users'. I simply need to trigger an 'enter password' form if someone loads the page. entering the correct password will allow a user to view the page.

    I've been through the forums and Google all day but don't know enough (or have enough time) to really absorb the Revo permissions and demo this (client is shouting at this stage too).

    Can anyone provide step by step instructions for me?
    The only extra piece of advice I can give is that I don't want someone logging in to be able to reset their password or request a new one. IE my client will need to hand this password out to several potential clients.
    Thanks folks. I appreciate it.

    I think what you want is a Login page that forwards to the private page, and a snippet at the top of the private page that forwards un-logged-in users to the Login page.

    I am in the middle of this as well. The Revo security and user system seems really complicated but it does work.

    You might want to check out my recent thread as my quest is similar to yours, although my project has more needs and moving parts...
