CMS - Frontend+Backend

[akuales]

I am using meanjs to build a CMS-kindathing, so I would need to seperated the views into backend and frontend and I have issues on how to react when a user is not signed in.
How would a show a menu-item, like Articles to anyone but something like create Article only to a logged-in user.
I am now also able to get to the #!/articles/create page even though I am not logged in - I'm not able to save anything, but how would I redirect the not-logged in User to the signin-page in the first place.

Hi @akuales,

the first issue is solvable using the menu service: http://meanjs.org/docs.html#menus you can choose to show an item to unauthorized users using the isPublic property. The next issue is a bit trickier, the simplest solution is to validate user authentication in the view controller, and redirect the user back to the login page.

For your next development questions it would help us a lot if you use the google group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/meanjs we try to keep the issue tracker for bug reports and feature requests only.

Thank you,
Amos
