Hi all,

I've got a client who is wondering if we're able to add an option to the CMS, maybe a checkbox in the Visibility section, that allows a page to be visible only within their ip address so that people within that ip address could view published pages without logging in. When pages are approved, they'd like to uncheck that box and it will become available to the public. How would I go about getting something like that implemented? Is it possible?

Thanks
JK

Hi Jkdude,

I've done a similar thing before with a .htaccess file, however that was for the entire website, not just a selection of pages.

I guess you could assign your client to a new group and give them access to view draft pages.
I realise this is not really the solution you are after, but it would allow the client to view all pages under draft/awaiting submittion.

I also stumbled accross an IP Whitelist tool you could use.

I haven't tested it myself, but it looks like you can assign a whitelist ip to a group, maybe this could help or atleast be the base to creating an addon.

Hope that helps,

Hi Helen,

Thanks for the quick response. It was one of the suggestions we gave our client but they specifically need it to not require logging in.

Thanks.
