Password-protecting and entire CMSMS site

Post by gyszilagyi »

I want to limit access to the entire site to registered users only (i.e. the site can not be viewed without logging in with a valid username/password combination). I thought Frontend Users was the module for this, but I either misunderstood something or maybe another module (CustomContent?) is needed for this. Does anybody have a solution for me?

You need both modules.... FrontEndUsers provides the login process, and forms, and CustomContent allows you to display different content to different users.

if you want to protect the whole site. I'd put the customcontent tags into your template(s).

i.e:
{cms_module module=FrontEndUsers}

{content}

Only authorized users can view this stuff
