Ask to login

Hi,

If I wanted people to be logged in to view Detailed - how would I implement that?

(so that when they have logged in they would be re-directed to the page they tried to view)

Mmmm....you could add something like this to admin/Links/User/Page.pm. In the generate_detailed_page sub routine, add this just below the my () statement;

Code:
    if (!$USER) {  
        print $IN->header(); 
        print Links::SiteHTML::display ('error', { error => "You must be logged in to view detailed pages!") }); 
        exit;     
    }

Hopefully that will work (you need to turn off the logged in function in setup, otherwise you will get asked to log in for any page).

Cheers

That solution is not very user-friendly.

I would suggest you place a PRE hook on 'handle_page' (if I remember the hook name correctly), and then redirect the user to the login page if they are not logged in. Similar to the 'modify' and 'add' behaviour....

Better say it is not upgrade-safe.
That's why we create plugins, to avoid such user modifications right in the core code.

No-no. I did not say that.
But you may to write a plugin for that task.

Yogi told, that would be better to do Andy's suggested modification using a hook in a plugin, instead of modifying the core code! I just aggreed him that plugins, are better, and are upgrade-safe.

Modifying the core code, leads to the situation, that the next upgrade will overwrite your modification, so it will not upgrade-safe.
Clear now?

Best regards,

Or....

Code:
    if (! $USER) { 
        print $IN->redirect( Links::redirect_login_url ('detailed') ); 
        return; 
    }

...well something along those lines.
