Hey guys, This has been mentioned a couple of time it seems but we are finding it next to impossible to create and use new sessions with Radiant. Is this on purpose or something that wasn’t quite realized until after the extension abilities were released? Thanks! – Travis B. removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid ---

It’s intentionally turned off. Radiant not really designed for Web sites that support user sessions. Several people have attempted to fix this problem, but I’m not sure of the results. I’d recommend that you search the list. – John L. [http://wiseheartdesign.com](http://wiseheartdesign.com) ---

Edwin V.'s secure\_pages extension works for me [http://code.google.com/p/secure-pages/](http://code.google.com/p/secure-pages/) in 0.6.2 in development mode with the cache fix as described by David Piehler [Extensions and sessions - Radiant CMS - Ruby-Forum](http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/116010) – Mark A.

There is also the subscriber extension: [http://darcs.bigchieflabs.com/radiant/extensions/subscriber/](http://darcs.bigchieflabs.com/radiant/extensions/subscriber/) It adds a new login/signup system for subscriber, and let to create pages that only logged subscriber can see…but the code is old…I’ll work on it asap 😛 ---

Andrea, Your subscriber extension seems to be what I am looking for. I downloaded the tar files and extended my Radiant 0.6.2. Sorry for my naive question: “How do I use it?”. What does a person need to do to have a login to my site that has the subscriber extension installed? Some instructions would be very helpful. thanks, saji - Andrea F.

First you need to migrate the extension: rake radiant:extensions:subscriber:migrate Then launch your server and the signup page is here: [http://localhost:3000/subscriber/account/signup](http://localhost:3000/subscriber/account/signup) …and here the login: [http://localhost:3000/subscriber/account/login](http://localhost:3000/subscriber/account/login) Now create a page and set Subscriber as page type. This page and all its children require login. Remember that the code is very old 😛 and tests have some problem… I’ll work on Subscriber extension asap…but now I can’t. If you want read the code…and improve it for your needs…let me know 🙂 - andrea ---

Hi Andrea, Thanks a lot. The subscriber extension worked right off the shelf (I did not run the tests though). I guess some items are hard-coded, for instance the confirmation message that the subscriber recieves (but I guess I can look at the code and modify it). Also some work may be needed to integrate the looks of the login page with the rest of the website (again I am sure this must be relatively easy to do). Anyway, thanks a lot for your nice extension. It is very useful to me! 🙂 Best wishes, saji … - Andrea F.
