Support/Comments for DocPassword

I haven’t installed this yet, but I’m interested.

Does the user get a box to type in the password? Is it a pop-up box for authentication, or something right on the page?

Or, can the password be appended as a string onto the URL?
That would be a great feature, so a link to a password protected page could be included in an email, etc.

any news about passwords with the childs?

i have also tried the @inhertit, but how do i do this exactly?

dont understand where to put the @inherit. In a new TV with the snippetcall?

Thanks! Works as advertised!

Sorry guys, haven’t had much time to work on correcting @INHERIT. I will see what time I can carve-out and see if I can get an updated release out!

I love this snippet!

However, I’m also stuck on this.   How is this supposed to work?

I have determined that putting @INHERIT[!DocPassword!] will cause the child documents to adopt the password of the parent document. However, I still have to enter the password on each child document to view it.

Terry,

What happens when you simply enter @INHERIT as the child’s password? Or, when you set @INHERIT as the Default Value for DocPasswordTV template variable?

I just tried a test case (MODx v0.9.6.3) where I set @INHERIT as the default value when setting up the TV. Then, I created a parent container (assigning it a password) as well as a few child documents with my DocPassword snippet call:

[!DocPassword? &redirect=`113`!]

(where 113 is my "password form" page...also, I confirmed that DocPasswordTV value was coming through as @INHERIT on the child document)

When I try to access the child document, I am taken to my password form page and only by entering the password I set up on the Parent Container am I able to access this child document...

The main limitation I see with the current version is having to re-type the same Inherited password for each child document...

I think you have confirmed that you do have to enter the password on parent document and the same (inherited) password again to access the child document.

So the #INHERIT is working as expected.

I had hoped that it would make the child document accessible without entering the password again.

Looking forward to the new version!

Thank you!

I’ve been looking at the "DocPassword" snippet and it seems that there is some information missing on how to get it working.

There are instructions 1, 2, 3 and 5. However, "4." seems to be missing?

I’ve got the snippet to install and it’s comming up with my custom login box but it won’t then permit me to submit a password.

I have got this snippet working as intended. But one thing is puzzling me. Once I have logged in and the page is show, there are two links at the top of the page. One to the page that I am viewing, and one to the Unauthorised page. Why are these links appearing? And is there a way to get rid of them?

Oay, this snippet is really causing issues now. For some reason the TV is affecting ALL pages in my site even when it isn’t associated with their templates!!!
