HowTo - A webpage only visible for participants

Requirements / Preparation

  • You must be logged in and have the appropriate permissions.
  • Create a new sub-website of the lecture homepage. (See also 'Creating a Web Page')
  • You must know the ID of the lecture. This is typically a four-digit number. (In this example, I'll just take 8888)

Procedure

Configure access rights for the new page:

  • if you're logged in, there's a link called 'Web Content', with a small menu. Follow the link 'Page properties'; a small window will open.
  • There is the item 'Visibility', which is probably set to 'public'. Click on 'edit' there.
  • From the possibilities there is e.g. 'logged in':
    But this allows access for ALL logged in users.
  • You want to restrict the access to the participants of the lecture: Select 'SESSION-Variable' and enter
        Variable: vorl8888
        Value: ok
    and 'save'. The name of the session variable consists of 'vorl' and the ID number of the event.
  • Then only the participants (and tutors) of the lecture have access.
