Re: [Pagekit-users] Learning PageKit

[Rob S. <fa...@ra...>]

Hey Shawn,

Let's say your pagekit website is http://www.some.com/app/

/app/ being pagekit controlled.

so /app/ or /app/index would bring up View/Default/index.tmpl

Say you wanted a page called /app/foo, you'd make a tmpl file named 
View/Default/foo.tmpl which in turn would invoke foo() inside your 
MyModel.pm file (or where ever you have pk looking).

You don't need to write code to password protect stuff.  The framework does 
that for you.

For example, if you want to force people to login to see /app/foo, you 
simply add:

<PAGE id="foo" require_login="recent"/>

To the PAGES section inside Config.xml.  Of course restricting access per 
page is not really a good idea and should be done per section or directory.

For example, you have an admin area, /app/Admin/ which is a directory 
View/Default/Admin/, you'd add:

<SECTION id='Admin' require_login='yes'/>

To the SECTIONS section in Config.xml

Requesting /app/Admin/something, pagekit will see that 'require_login' is 
set to yes for the section, redirect the user to login1.tmpl and force them 
to auth.  Once the user auths, pagekit will set the right cookie, redirect 
them to the page they wanted, /app/Admin/something.

The two subs that handle the auth process are called pkit_auth_credential() 
and pkit_auth_session_key and usually reside in Common.pm.

Also, as per the docs (http://www.pagekit.org/guide/authentication.html), 
View/Default/index.tmpl and View/Default/login1.tmpl can never be password 
protected without hacking Pagekit.

Hope that helps,

Rob
