Magento 1.9 - Password or admin only login store - not editing htaccess

Question

Is there a way to make a store accessible (or maybe specific cms pages) by admin only or with a password? Need to set it up so that clients can do this for future stores while in testing mode -without them having to dive into editing htaccess file. Or can you recommend an extension (besides "Advanced Permissions").

Thanks for any guidance you can give on this.

Answer 1

You can accomplish this by using javascript.

Please put this script in a javascript file and include that javascript file in pages in which you want to add password protection.

function passWord() {
    var testV = 1;
    var pass1 = prompt('Please Enter Your Password',' ');
    while (testV < 2) {
        if (!pass1) history.go(-1);
        if (pass1.toLowerCase() == "Password") {
            alert('You Got it Right!');
            window.open('window.location.href');
            break;
        } 
        testV+=1;
        var pass1 = prompt('Access Denied - Password Incorrect, Please Try Again.','Password');
    }
    if (pass1.toLowerCase()!="password" & testV ==3) history.go(-1);
    return " ";
}

Edit: Create a module and add a column (yes/no type) in cms_page table using the module.

Show the column in cms page edit form. If it's value is yes for a page, then include the above-mentioned javascript file in the page using layout xml.

Please let me know if it worked for you.
