Redirect to login

@baris That's it. Worked like a charm. Thanks!

I would like to update my module nodebb-plugin-private-forum that should do exactly what you are trying to archive.
But it seems it is not working well with v1.16.2 and I need some help on the Hook declaration.

I understand that I need to use response:router.page, but how exactly?
Is this ok for you?

plugin.json

{
  "id": "nodebb-plugin-private-forum",
  "url": "https://github.com/LM1LC3N7/nodebb-plugin-private-forum",
  "library": "./library.js",
  "hooks": [{
    "hook": "response:router.page", "method": "init"
  }]
}

library.json

'use strict';

const plugin = {};
var winston = module.parent.require('winston');
const helpers = require.main.require('./src/controllers/helpers');

plugin.init = async (data) => {

        const allowedPages = /\/(assets\/|login|register|reset|plugins\/).*|.*(.css|.js)$/;

        winston.verbose("[plugin-nodebb-private-forum] Checking URL ("+ req.url +"), redirection.");

        # Allow only few pages or logged in users
        if (data.req.loggedIn || allowedPages.test(req.url)) {
                return data;
        }

        # else redirect to /login.
        winston.verbose("[plugin-nodebb-private-forum] User is NOT logged or URL is NOT allowed.");
        return Helpers.notAllowed(data.req, data.res);
};

module.exports = plugin;

I can't see any of the debug log messages containing accessed URL

Trying logging with winston.info, verbose only shows up in dev mode or when you start with --verbose I believe.

@baris After a rebuild, reset module and activate again, still nothing.
I have manually changed the package.json version number but the old version still appears. An idea why? My updates are maybe never used?

<baris>

Maker sure your plugin is linked into node_modules. If it's not your changes won't show up.

flex

@baris infact I have installed the old version and I update the installed module directly (in node_modules folder).

I rebuild and restart nodebb, but the plugin version is still the old one.

Does my plugin file code looks ok to you?

Javascript comments start with // or /* comment */. During startup if there is an error in a plugin it is not loaded. Check the startup messages.

@baris My god, it's not good to work with bash and javascript at the same time (thank you btw)

My "old" code is still working well without depreciation warning, thanks for your answers

@baris I'm also trying this and it works with SSO also. However now I can't logout and use /login?local=1 to log the admin account as above method force only use /login and it use the sso. Any clue, hint to avoid this?

I use the code in here

Hello @jalathpc_demo

I tried to create a patch:
https://github.com/LM1LC3N7/nodebb-plugin-private-forum/releases/tag/v1.3.1

I no longer have a NodeBB instance, so let me know if it works (I am honestly not sure, as /logout should be allowed as you are logged in.

It would be interesting to check if req.loggedIn is correctly set when using SSO. This could be why the plugin is not working as you need.
