these days I have deployed a magento instance, but the webshop is not online yet, so I have added an .htaccess
password protection to the website which indeed worked fine, but caused problems when my client wanted to upload images for his products.
Is there a way to password protect the whole store for development purposes, using magento-capabilities itself, so that logged in user has full access to the page, but not the public?
I came over this module, but it is unfortunately not compatible with magento 1.8, or I do not know how to install it.
Thanks for help!

Your
config.xml
would look something like thisAnd your observer class something like this
