We are always striving for optimal Drupal contrib modules use. Yet, in some cases they won’t meet the required standards, desires, stability and/ or security. That’s when we develop tailor made codes; sometimes with the help of other modules’ snippets.
When we have to do tailor made development, we’ll always strive to make it generic, making it possible to produce a contrib module, which can be released on Drupal.org. We’ll always do this in consultation with the client.
Such an example is the just released module ‘Conditional Redirect’: some modules were close, but just didn’t meet the requirements.
Shield Drupal with a login
It’s about the following functionality: imagine you are producing a system in Drupal meant for internal use, like a kind of intranet or management app.
This system has to be globally available, but only accessible after people logged in. In that case you would want people who are not yet logged in linked to the login page.
As extra wish: certain pages do have to be publicly accessible and should be configured as exception.
Above is realized in the released module: after installation all logged out (anonymous) visitors will be redirected to the login page. Exceptions can be configured as well:
- Content types;
- Specific pages;
- Specific menu links
Wrap up
Alright, that’s it for now. Questions or comments regarding this module? Let us know in the comments, or shoot an issue on the Drupal.org project page.
