[edit] Description

This plugin allows blog owners (only blog owners) to password-protect an entire blog. Once the password is typed, users are allowed ot freely browse the contents of the blog.

The password is stored in the PHP session so as soon as the browser is closed, the password data will be lost and it will need to be typed again in a future visit.

Compared to the Secret Post plugin, this plugin can protect a complete blog, all its posts, resources, and static files.

[edit] Configuration

The plugin configuration page can be found under Control Center->Security Plugins->Secret Blog

The plugin has two configuration fields: it can be enabled or disabled and the password can be changed.

The plugin shows a very simple default page that can be found under plugins/secretblog/templates/passwordform.template. The design of that page is simple on purpose so that site administrators can customize it according to the current design of the site.

[edit] Notes

This plugin cannot protect blogs that appear in the summary. This is not a limitation of the plugin itself but a limitation of the plog plugin framework, since plugins do not work in the summary page. If you need a feature that hides password-protected blogs from the summary, you will need to create some custom code for that.
