Privacy's Templates

This page of the Privacy user manual is applicable for Privacy 2.0. A new user manual is being written for Privacy 2.1. In the meanwhile, these can be used as a reference as the two versions are similar

Privacy will create the following templates in all blogs (whether current or new):

  • Privacy: Bootstrapper - This index template should not be changed. It handles authentication of a reader if your blog URL is different to your Movable Type CGIPath.

  • Privacy: Login - The contents of this system template are shown whenever an asset is marked private and the user is not logged in. It prompts the user to login to view the asset. Once the user logs in, a cookie is set on their system and they will have access to the asset for 24 hours.

    You can customize the contents of this template as you wish. The template tags you can use in this template is rather limited. We recommend that you refrain from using any specialized tags (such as MTEntry or MTCategory) tags as they may not always work. If you ever need to revert to the default Privacy: Login template, you can always refresh it.

  • Privacy: Not Allowed - The contents of this system template are shown whenever an asset is marked private and the user login fails (for example if they have entered an incorrect password or are not in the list of allowed readers)
