[Chris French]

Ha 50 minutes, could have done it faster but I got fancy and added both menu ids and content ids

https://github.com/AmmoniteNetworks/Joomla-Content-Access

It checks if the current MENU id is active and if so it replaces all the content items text with the contents of the default.php  in the plugin folder.

if it is the content ID it only does the  content item with that ID. 

If you  find this useful please donate to this  wonderful place

Might want to do this for more than one page with different passwords perhaps? (Sorry if it sounds like I'm creating more work for you. :-) )

For example, you create a Joomla Article with an alias of foobaz. So that the URL of domain.com/foobaz finds the Article. But since there is no actual directory called foobaz, mot sure if .htaccess would be helpful in this regard. Or am I overlooking something?
