Custom "This content is password protected" text, different for each post

    Hello again.

    After some time being unable to find a plugin that suits my needs over here, I’ve decided to try coding my own plugin for that purpose, being totally new to WordPress and knowing just basic SQL and PHP. I honestly doubt this would even need a SQL modification, though.

    The idea (to make it clearer than before) is showing the part of the post before the read more tag, then prompt for a password that would lead to the full post contents.

    After some looking, I’ve found myself lost trying to look for the correct functions that handle the posts on wp-includes/post-template.php. Could you please indicate me the functions that are more of interest so that I can work my way up to that? Could it be way too difficult for my current knowledge?

    I’d want to make it a plugin (I think there’s more than enough information on the Codex regarding this) and contribute it to the plugins directory WordPress has, in case someone else would want it and I’m able to commit it.

    Thank you all in advance.

    Regards,
    jaBote

  • Something like this would work for you:

    function my_password_form() {
	global $post;
	$content_arr = get_extended( $post->post_content );
	$label = 'pwbox-'.( empty( $post->ID ) ? rand() : $post->ID );
	$o = '<form action="' . esc_url( site_url( 'wp-login.php?action=postpass', 'login_post' ) ) . '" method="post">
	'. $content_arr["main"] . '
	' . __( "To continue reading this protected post, enter the password below:" ) . '
	<label for="' . $label . '">' . __( "Password:" ) . ' </label><input name="post_password" id="' . $label . '" type="password" size="20" maxlength="20" /><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="' . esc_attr__( "Submit" ) . '" />
	</form>
	';
	return $o;
}
add_filter( 'the_password_form', 'my_password_form' );

    Yes, it works.

    I just wanted some guidance to do it, but thank you! I’m not sure if I should be the one to make it into a plugin in case someone else is interested on it.

    Thank you very much PhPCentre!
