Login page for guests without `View Site` permission about chyrp-lite HOT 4 CLOSED

A totally private site is quite a niche requirement. This can be handled by writing a simple module that responds to the "can_not_view_site" trigger and displays a custom/standalone login page including specific instructions telling the user how to acquire a login if they don't have one (i.e. a paywall). Maybe I'll put something together to show how it could be done.

If you want to use the default login form but you are worried about leaking data, you can wrap the display of those things in {% if visitor.group.can("view_site") %} Twig conditional.

It would be easy to raise a Flash warning and redirect to the login page instead of throwing an error in index.php. This would certainly make it easier for registered users to log in, but I need to think over the implications of this change before I implement it.

wrap the display [...] in Twig conditional

That's what I did for my live site. I still think that no View Site permissions shouldn't display the site at all, to be concordant with the name. Otherwise it could be renamed to something like View Published Content.

paywall

Vade retro! You can also have a private site for your family or a small group of known people :)

In the end it's just two paths to the same solution. For the few admins who prefer enhanced privacy a couple of Twig conditionals do the trick. On the flip side, if an admin likes the current behaviour and I change it, they'll have to write a module just to revert it. I prefer to encourage customisations in Twig whenever possible because of the friendly syntax and reduced scope for screwing things up.
