How to get page ID of Private Page(members only page)

Dear All,

Can anyone please help me, how to get page ID of a private page(members only page) without login first?

Thank you,
Made

What version of MODX?

And what do you know about the page you want to get the ID of (pagetitle, resource group membership, ??) ?

Also, if you can say why you want the ID, there might be another way to do what you want.

I’m using modx revolution MODX Revolution 2.1.1.

I have a newsletter website for my company which is have new edition every month.
On each edition of the newsletter have a member page which is only viewable by a registered member. I’m using login snippet for member to login and view the member page.
I put the snippet code on the main template. The snippet is like this [[!Login?loginResourceId=`MemberPageID`]]. So I need to get the member page ID automatically from each edition.

Help me please.

Thanks,
Made

How about putting the ID of the new page in a Template Variable called MemberPageID attached to that template? Then your snippet property would look like this:



When a new issue comes out, you’d just edit the login page and enter the new ID in the TV.

Hi BobRay, thank you for the answer, but what about the MemberPageID of previous newsletter? I want to make it still viewable also.

Thanks,

I would put a link to an "archives" page on the page that shows the current newsletter (or in its template).

Then, on the archives page, use getResources, Wayfinder, or a custom snippet to show links to all the newsletters.

I think I’d probably put each year’s newsletters under a separate container and use Wayfinder to show the links. The resource tree would look like this:
