[Login] Trouble getting member only pages to work with Login in Revo

Hey,

I’m not sure if anybody has got Login to work yet... I know I haven’t.

I have a page called "New uploads" (id 11) which I only want to have visible for people that are logged in. If they’re not logged in, common sense should lead them to the "Not authorized" page which features a login form (With return to referrer turned on).

So far, I’ve set up my user groups/security thingies as follows:

Resource group: "Members only" (made using Create Resource group)

Access Controls -> User group: "Webusers" (made using "New User Group")
- Context access: context: "web" / Minimum role "Member - 15" / Access policy: "Member policy"
- Resource group: "Members only" / Minimum role "Member - 15" / Access Policy: "Member Policy" / Context: web
- Element Category Access: none

Access Controls -> Roles
- "Administrator" / ID 2 / Authority 0
- "Member" / ID 3 / Authority 15
- "Read only" / ID 1 / Authority 1

Access Controls -> Access Policies
- Member Policy / ID 5 / Permissions: none (what to do here?)
(amongst 4 others)

The resource is publicly viewable when on the "Access Permissions" tab nothing is selected (the only option is "Members only").

When I tick it and try to access the page, I’m being referred to the 404 page instead of the 403 (not authorized) page. When I login using a basic [[!Login]] snippet, it makes no difference.


I did check the access for the account I used, and that seemed to be alright.

Altho I’m going to do some more checks now - if there’s any help or pointers feel free to let me know

If you are getting a 404, the access controls are most likely the issue. This indicates that the user cannot even load the requested data (i.e. it is completely invisible). You will need to create an anonymous access control entry that provides the "load" permission.

There was an (anonymous) with load permissions, but I’m still getting the 404.

Could you do me a huge favour and check out in the manager what is happening? When I get the hang of it (by seeing what you did) I’ll try to make a tutorial for in the docs.. but at this point I have no clue what to do.

Revo’s so flexible, I don’t know where to start.

There’s really no way for me to know what you’ve got setup without more details, or what other possible issues might be occurring. My suggestion would be to read through the permissions guide that BobRay has written and come back with specific questions.

Or keep changing and experimenting with the permissions (making sure to clear caches and flush sessions anytime you make changes to it).

I think I may have a similar problem - I got login installed and the user pages / groups / resources set up, but the protected resources don’t show up....

Problem is that I can’t tell if the user has actually logged in! The login form just seems to refresh the page, no messages no errors no nothing.

any thoughts on how I could ’prove’ that the user is logged in?

There is an ’active_users’ table in the database but I’m not sure if this is for manager users only.

Either in a Snippet:



or in tag format:

If the login is successful, this will redirect the user to the page with an ID of 2 (or whatever).

The login was just magically working this morning..... ? I didn’t touch a darn thing!
I have cache completely disabled for development... don’t get it.

though the member pages are still not working [protected page links do not appear in menu/ get a 404 when requesting the resource directly]

I’ll have to review the resource groups & tutorials again [though I’ve been over it 3 times now!]

-thanks for the suggestions...

I’ve started writing a tutorial... can be found here: http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/revolution/(Tutorial)+Making+member-only+pages

Check if you did everything.

Open another browser to check (another browser, not just another browser window or tab).

By default, if you don’t give anonymous users permissions to "load" the resource they will get a 404 error. There’s a section in Bobs’ guides about that.
