Re: [Pagekit-users] pkit_login problems

Hi Manjusha,

it works the way you want it out of the box. Set require_login='yes' for the 
pages you want to protect. Or if you want to protect a lot of pages use the 
section directive.

Important for you is that require_login is set to 'yes' and not to 'recent' as 
on the example site. On the example site the login_timeout is set to 10 Secs. 
So if you have a valid login your login is verified whenever you did not 
visite any page with a valid login in at least login_timeout secs.

And now i set the require_login='recent' to require_login='yes' on the example 
site. So please retry your test.
