What this plugin does

• No direct access to any site urls for non-logged-in visitors is possible with the exception of the pages explicitly allowed (login, registration, lost-password, external pages),
• When not logged in to the site only the login widget is displayed,
• It checks Elgg's walled-garden plugin hook for public pages,
• In addition it introduces it's own plugin hook to define public pages, i.e. the plugin hook defined in Khaled Afiouni's plugin can still be used in Elgg 1.8+1.9 with this plugin. Check the function login_required_default_allowed_list in start.php to see how you can define public pages in your plugins or add more pages to be viewable by not-logged-in users via this plugin.

ATTENTION: If using this plugin, please don't enable the walled-garden option on Elgg's advanced settings page., _(*2)
