Protect template against direct access

[Holger]

Hi geeks ,

is there any proper idea to protect a template.htm against direkt access?
Using a (simple) .htaccess with "order deny,allow .. blah" won't work of course and using some php code within .htm-files won't get parsed without changes at the server-config.

Ok, there is a solution with .htaccess to limit access to single file(s) only to special users / groups.
That's working fine but it's not very comfortable...

IMO it would be better to use template.php like in other systems.

Any other (and simple) ideas?

I allways put the following .htaccess in the folder /templates:

Code: Select all

<Files ~ "template.htm">
  Order allow,deny
   Deny from all
   Satisfy All
</Files>


This works fine and is simple ...

Maybe something to add to CMSimple_XH standard templates?

You can put it in the folder /templates so it'll work with all installed templates.
