If you have a site where the home page is a login to the rest of the site, and all other pages require a login, is there a way to do this without adding every resource to a resource group?
Yes, you could put this snippet in your template for every page but the home page (this would be for MODX Revolution). It will forward any not-logged-in user to the home page (untested):
/* RequireLogin snippet */
if (! $modx->user->hasSessionContext($modx->context->get('key'))) {
$url = $modx->makeUrl($modx->getOption('site_start'), "", "", "full");
$modx->sendRedirect($url);
}
return '';
This would be a little faster if you only have the web context and won't be changing the site_start page:
/* RequireLogin snippet */
$homeId = 12; // ID of home page
if (! $modx->user->hasSessionContext('web')) {
$url = $modx->makeUrl($homeId, "", "", "full");
$modx->sendRedirect($url);
}
return '';

Thank you. Second one worked wonderfully. This would be a good snippet for anyone who has a fully protected site.
First one did not redirect but just presented no content (and no HTML code at all) to a user visiting a page directly though we definitely have the site_start setting pointing to the login page. If one has a default install and only one context (web) is a key for the context even set or would it have to be set manually?
The first version will work on any Context to see if the user is logged in to that Context. It had a typo (fixed above), but if the 'web' context is the only front-end context the site will ever have, there's no need for it.
In MODX, $modx->context->get('key') will always return something (by default 'mgr' or 'web').

Great. First version functions now as well.
