webby70 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Hi all I need to make a 'dealer shop' and password protect it. In other words, one must 1st enter a password (which he will get from me) in order to access the catalog (this is additional to the normal 'client registration password'). Does anybody now of such a contribution, or has anyone an idea about how to achieve that? Many many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meph8 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 why not use .htaccess for "catalog" only people that knows his password will ever see the catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Or if your site allows, and you are iffy on .htaccess, in your site admin panel create a protected directory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webby70 Posted March 7, 2003 Author Share Posted March 7, 2003 Hi Thanks for the suggestions! However, I would be in favour of using a more user-friendly interface, and not work with .htaccess. Something of this kind for ex: a log-in box on a normal webpage, where people can enter the id & password to get access to the real catalog. Maybe did somebody face already a similar situation? :?: Or maybe is there already a contribution to address the issue? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webby70 Posted March 24, 2003 Author Share Posted March 24, 2003 Hi all Did anybody manage in the meanwhile to find a nice solution for this isue? A nice login interface before people can visualize the actual content of the shop? Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepostman Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I am working on doing that right now...although my first attempt did not go very well. I need the same thing, its for B2B so users already have their information in the system, they just need to login before seeing anything. Its kinda tough...I want to work with the same DB that the catalog is using...I have been using another DB-table with the same usernames and passwords but that is such a pain. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
