Entry Authentication Directory

Overview

This extension is called when entries are submitted. If the entry submitted is in the channel you have in the settings, the extension checks for username, password and directory name fields within the channel. If the submitted password field is empty, the entension generates a random password based on the settings. The directory will be created with .htaccess and .htpasswd files. If an additional file was provided in the settings, the extension will also copy that file to the directory.

If the entry already has the directory structure in place, it will only update the htpasswd file with the new username and password that was submitted and skip the rest of the processing.
