Require Login   -   User Guide

Chapter 1: Configuration options for Require Login

This chapter will cover how to configure the Require Login extension in Magento.

1.1Configuration overview

The Require Login configuration is accessible from the top menu System → Configuration on the tab MageParts → Require Login.

Config overview
  1. Navigate to System → Configuration in the top menu.
  2. Click on the Require Login tab in the MageParts section of the left-hand menu.

1.2General Settings

General Settings
OptionDescription
EnabledWhether or not the extension is enabled.
Login Page URLURL to login page.
Login Page URL TypeType of above URL (Relative or Fixed).

1.3Exceptions

Exceptions
OptionDescription
Allow Access to Customer ControllersWhether or not customers whom aren't logged in (guests) should be allowed to access customer functions (such as create account and password recovery).
URL ExceptionsHere you can add URLs which should be accessible even to customers whom aren't logged in (guests). You can use both relative and fixed URLs.

Please note that in every Magento version before 1.5 the Type option for the URL Exceptions setting will have a small graphical bug. The setting will always be displayed as Relative, even if Fixed was selected for a URL.

Fixed URLs does still work of course, but everytime you want to modify the configuration for the extension you will need to specify again which URL Exceptions (if any) are fixed. Again, this problem only exists in Magento version 1.4.x and below.

1.4The difference between fixed and relative URLs

Relative URL means that the website base URL will be added to the beginning of the URL. For example, if your website URL is http://www.mydomain.com/ and you enter the relative URL pages/contacts the complete URL will become http://www.mydomain.com/pages/contacts.

Fixed URL are read exactly as they are entered without any modifications.
