coloradocroat -> creating user login (6/4/2008 8:36:32 AM)

Hello Experts, I am in need of assistance.

I am going to start building a new web site for a club I belong to. What I would like to do is have the index page be open to the public (I got that far;) and then have a login page where members of the club would be able to login to get more information. On the login, I think this is the tricky part? I need to have some of the pages be open to everybody with a valid login. But also I need to have information specific to that login only be seen by that login, such as dues and payments. Does this make sense?

I guess the first is how do I create the two seperate sides of the site, the public and the private? And then how do I segregate some of the information on the private side of the site?

Thanks for the help,

David

If you don't have extensive knowledge in implementing such functions, you may want to look into using a Content Management Systems (CMS) like Joomla, Drupal, etc. Most CMS have register/login already set up. In addition, some CMS have add-ons that you may be looking for.

The two CMS's I mentioned are open source and so it's no cost to you but you do need to learn how it all works. However, not all add-ons are free.

If you are designing your website in FrontPage 2003 and you are hosting on a server that is running FrontPage extensions ... you can do what you desire in your question. Although I have numerous messages from my host saying they will not support FP extensions in the future since Microsoft is not supporting them anymore.

I currently have a FP website that the index page is open to general public browsing and then I have 3 Teir levels of security (3 SUBWebs within FP 2003).
With different user log-ins assigned to different sub-webs (directories)

Here is a easy to understand tutorial to help guide you through the process: front page-subwebs

Once you get the Sub Webs (Directories) set up in FP 2003, they are easy to administrate.

Good Luck!
