BricsDesign is Back & I Have Something Secure for You !
Announcing Page Lock
Create secure pages on your site
Page Lock provides a modern way to set up secure pages on your Blocs site with login permissions for an unlimited number of site visitors. Can be used for site membership sites, control of document distribution, access to paid content or to limit access to in-progress site work.
This bric has been under development for 6 months, with a lot of complex back-end coding that everyone has been asking for, so I think you are going to like it
Login either through a login button on direct clicking of a protected page in the navigation
Unlimited users/passwords
Full localization of all alerts and button text
Full styling controls for all buttons
Optional initial hiding of login button w/ keyboard toggle control if you donāt want the login button to be a distraction to normal site visitors
Cancel button on login page to redirect normal visitors back to a predefined page
Helper alerts during login to give proper feedback & guidance
Thank you all sorted, thatāll teach me to try and do things on an iphone that should have been done on the Macā¦ my own fault. but thank you for sorting it out. i shall now have a play with this.
Nice work Bill! This feature Bric is one weāve all been waiting for. Thank you so much for all youāve done to get it to us. I didnāt have a second thought about purchasing this.
I have watched the video, and I have a question. Whatās the process to add or remove users and/or change passwords. Do you have to modify in blocs and upload again and setup the page?
If you want to add or remove users or edit passwords, then yes, you do the editing in Blocs, publish & export the page you designate for setting up users and click the āSetup Usersā button & then the āSetup This Pageā button on that page. You will have to export & visit any other Private page that is listed in the Access inputs, as those will need the āSetup This Pageā button clicked as well.
@PeteSharp Yes, any other Private page will need to be revisited. Thereās a lot going on behind the scenes thatās required when you click those buttons - but as you saw, itās takes about 5secs a page to do it - easy peasy.
This is very welcome and very nice indeed.
Donāt need it at the moment, but now that this is available I may have to rethink what I provide and how I want to provide that content.
Thanks for creating this great Bric! We needed this in the Blocs Worldā¦
@odd1 Hi, Iāve never tried it on a wordpress site, Page Lock is like a wrapper for a page that letās in a user thatās already logged in or redirects to a login page, so yes in theory, it has a good chance of working.
Great Bric! - just had time to look at the demo etc and test it.
I do a lot of websites where I need pages locked, I do tend to use SiteLok as Adrian has always been just the best support I could ever ask for - so I do support him.
But there are times when I have a client who wants a quick page lock - and if its nothing too fancy required, I do this from my host. Now I would like to look at other options too. If possible I have done some questions and if your able to answer that will be great.
On the demo you have the login and logout as a floating Tab - can this be removed and I just create a link to login on the home page or a page for login, and then on the page it points to - this shows a simple logout text?
I would like fully style the login form boxes, I am guessing from the notes that this is possible, can make the box square or take it away and change colour/font etc.
Where it says User and Password to fill it, can I put my own text here? (some companies I deal with might want something different put in here like for a product launch it could be something relevant to the launch to get people in.
If I have a password and they want to change it quickly, is this a quick process - how do I go about doing that (as in removing the old one and replacing with another?
I see depending on what username and password is put in - this can direct too to certain pages. How many diverts can be set up?..example - I will have 6 live stream webpages and 6 different logins will get you to 6 different streamsā¦will this be able to cope?
And finally !!! - I am guessing there is no collaboration of any data?..so if my client wants figures on how many people have logged on to say watch a live stream, there is no way I can count this from this platform?
Inside Blocs, on the page that you have the login credentials, just change them & republish the page & visit the page & hit setup the users & setup this page button - it should take you all of 30seconds
Each user has an access input so you can redirect to separate pages, thus you could in theory have unlimited redirections, although that could get a bit tedious
No login counts at this time - I had to draw the line somewhere to keep this at a reasonable price
Tell all your Blocs friends to buy this - I came back to Blocs to give you guys really powerful stuff, but there has to be steady sales to make it all work
Hi @Bill thanks for your replies, another 2 questions ! - sorry, when you say user - It is ok to have one login and send this to say 2,000 for an event / product launch and all 2,000 can access from that one loginā¦its not a one user entry is it?
Also
Is this something could be worked in? not sure how hard a job it is, but I am guessing its a pretty big one as would need some form of back end login - as only myself as Admin will need to see and not the users - not problem if it wont ever, just to I know for when I buy.
This feature Bric is one weāve all been waiting for. Thank you so much for all youāve done to get it to us. I didnāt have a second thought about purchasing this.
