1065479 - Add auth to AirMo static pages

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Air Mozilla, defect, P1)

Description

[Richard A Milewski[:richard]]

Mardi and William are looking for a place to post things like MoCo meeting minutes in a place with the same auth requirements as the original event. 

We have static pages which could do the job.  Can we add the same Persona Auth to those as we have for events?

It wouldn't be particularly hard to protect the static pages with similar privacy settings as we have for events. Once set, and you enter the URL to the static page, we either let them stay or we redirect out. 

The crux is more in how do we make a link to these pages? I guess, you could always just type in the link, a la "Hey, checkout the <a href="/notes/moco-sept09">meeting notes</a> here" in the event description.

Eventually I think we'd have to come up with some sort of indexing for static pages, but just getting something up for the MoCo meeting notes would be a start.  That will be the bulk of the use for a while yet.

Hmm.. This is far less simple than I thought. We're using a built in functionality (django's FlatPages in the contrib package) so we can't extend it at will.

The path forward would have to be to make our own copy and write some clever migration.
