Ability to set SSL and Login Requrted options for Sections in Catalog

Hi guys,

What about this task?

Do you think we need this for 5.2.0? I vote - Yes, what about you?

DA

sounds cool, just a question, what do you mean by "Login Required options
for Sections " (non-template)? What is a non-template section, and what's
the difference with actual set of permissions under "Permissions" tab? I'm
sure there's something I didn't got :)

All sections (formerly pages & categories) are divided into 2 groups:

   1. *virtual* - pages, that admin manually added via "Add Section" toolbar
   button in catalog (have yellow icon in grid)
   2. *template* - pages, that are created automatically during theme file
   scan to match any TPL file, that is present in theme directory (red icon in
   grid)

These are values of "Type" field on section editing page by the way.

The main difference between virtual and template type of sections is, that
"template" type sections use each own TPL to show their content (and you can
place m_RequireLogin on it safely), but "virtual" type sections all use the
same template (called design template) to show their content, but each of
the pages just have different content block data to display on it.

This way by placing m_RequireLogin tag on a design template you'll end up
with all pages using it become login-required.

Dmitry proposition is to add "Require Login" and "Require SSL" checkboxes to
section properties for user/developer to be able to specify these settings
for each section individually no matter, that they use single design
template to display their data.
