How do I create a Members area
|
|
| OzeTigerman 2007-06-11, 2:21 am |
| I'm an amateur web designer using Frontpage 2002.
I have a golf professional friend who wants me to design a web site for him and he wants a members area.
Each member would have to login using their own user name and password and would then be able to access certain pages of the web site.
How do I go about setting all this up?
Would I have to set up a database of members and their passwords using MySQL? (I know nothing about mysql - only that I see I can use it when I'm in Cpanel)
Can Frontpage help me in this area?
Can all this be done by just password protecting a directory and members have access to pages in that directory?
If anyone can help I'd be most grateful. | |

| My suggestion is to use cPanel to password protect a folder. Make a new
folder, assign a username and password, place your "restricted" pages in that
folder and then provide username/password information only to the people you
want to access that folder. You should also check into creating a robots.txt
file to exclude that folder from search engines. Google "robots.txt".

Hi,
you have two solution : using a script to protect the pages that you
want or using ASP or PHP
and i think that ASP-PHP are more secure and customizeble than script

| Proceed as Dan l has suggested but convert the folder into a website(Subweb)
and publish.
If your ISP allows subwebs and you have a control panel for admin, make the
subweb password protected.
All members can then use the same "username & password" to enter, then you
will not need to crate a database.
First check that your ISP allows subwebs.

I think that protecting the sub-web with a one password isn't so
secure. Then using ASP is better
if your ISP allow access data base, there's a method with FP to create
a protected area with an access data base
