FEU Enhancements

[calguy1000]

Just an FYI... With the help of uniqu3 I kind of had an epiphany wrt some of the modifications I was doing with CustomContent. I realized I really didn't have to do them.

So I've enhanced FEU with a new content type called "Protected Content" which makes protecting content in CMSMS a trivial process. You simply create a new page of type 'Protected Content' and type in your content. Any anonymous user that tries to access that page (via a link or whatever) will not be permitted. You can also (optionally) restrict the page to members of specified FrontEndUser groups. And the navigation is automatically taken care of (though you can't use cachable MenuManager templates).

There are new preferences in FEU to deal with users that try to directly access a restricted page. You may display the login page, display a static message, or redirect to another page.

The new content type is light weight (less than 200 lines of code including whitespace so far), simple to use, and has longevity. I've extended the CMSMS 'Content' content type, therefore all of its capabilities (multiple content blocks etc) apply. And it has no silly event handlers to clear the CMSMS cache after each request so you can take advantage of the menu manager cache (on other pages) and other caching functionality in CMSMS.

FrontEndUsers 1.16 should be available in a few days once the translators have had a chance to catch up (btw, I've seriously updated the help too).

I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for the GREAT effort calguy1000!

Hey guys,

How do I get a hold of this FEU module? I want to create a frontend login and password for one user and also restrict a particular page.

Thanks

OK, my apology I found the right place. I didn't know 2 modules; 'Front End' will access 'CustomContent'. I added FE 1.16 but ended with up this error:

ERROR: The CGExtensions module could not be found.

P.S I am using CMSMS 1.9.4.3

Did you install the CGExtensions module?

[dmaireroa]

lol I didn't know I had to install CGExtensions first before I could use the other modules. Man that was a hassle . Oh well at least its done now.

- First install CGExtensions module before you can install any other module (I think)

I know this sounds dumb but I'm really having a hard time trying to use it. I can't find the tag to add to the page. I read the help handbook but unable to find it. I hope I got this right, can Front End module add a form to the page and protect a page? If so, how do I add it or use it. I've been been on the admin console and still can't find it

Help? Read the first bold line below...

I just got new client that needs small intranet area, so this came in the right time!

This is probably too early to comment while I´m still testing around, but it seems I maybe encounter some minor bugs? (or something went wrong with installing) I have 1.9.4.3 with 1.16

- I cannot delete any user properties, that I have set up? They only have edit icon at the right side.
- I cannot change property to be unique afterwards with textarea type.
- When I filter users with my additional properties, it places those editing icons under the properties names, without showing the properties themselfs.

Also I would like to ask that if I use SelfRegistration Module with this, is there a way to activate these registrations by admin only? So that newly registrated people cannot see protected content before admin has approved their registration?

That's me and you both. No option there to delete 'properties. No wonder I couldn't get it going.

Yes you can delete properties... under the proper conditions. This has been reported, tested, and discussed at least a few times.

I even searched for all those other threads and did exactly as required but it's still not updating when I tried to turn the group off?? > Groups > Field Status > Off. But mind is saying "No properties were selected for this group"?? Why when I'm trying to turn it off?

Why on earth do we have to go through this process of doing this without even knowing first? I'm becoming hot headed here, but believe I'm not the only who have gone through the same process.

Why can't we find tutorials on this forum where we are able to understand e.g. 1+1 = 2??

That's fine, I'll let you cool down for a few days. Maybe that will help.

Um...so whats your point?? Its been 3-4days Fuck what do you think?

After deleting users and groups, I got to delete also user properties. So thats fine now.

Still I can not figure out this filtering problem. Here is image of it, does that look normal since I am missing some settings or what? How can I get those properties show up?
