I am thoroughly impressed by Kirby and the way it looks/feels/operates. Whenever I’m looking into documentation or at my test-projects, I’m telling myself that this is the best system I’ve come across so far. I’m really loving the simplicity, the velocity and above all the logical conception of Kirby!
I do not work in webdev (so I would have to hire somebody to do it…) but I need to get an online platform going that has content available only to people who register themselves. What I’d need, would be for specific pages to be available only to logged-in users, along with the system to register your account, of course.
I’m posting in here to see if anybody has had any experience with this kind of setup - In my case, it would be < 1.000 users, so I’m not even completely sure it needs a database of some sort.
I’d be very grateful for any idea! Thanks in advance!
Although I haven’t personally worked on a Kirby project that required that many users, it’s perfectly doable. Kirby can definitely handle user registration and access control.
Thank you very much for the replies! Is there any info available as to what is the critical number of entries that would make it more reasonable to switch to a database?
As regards the rest, i.e. the restricted areas, it depends on how you want to handle it. A single restricted area for all authorised users, or a restricted area per user? Both is doable using Kirby’s permission system.
(but only for few users)
