igloo Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Hello is there a way to PassWord protect a category among the top categories accessible from the left hand nav? or any other means to restrict access to a given category it does not require to be rock solid any simple solution (if any !) should do thank you regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattice Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 the categories exist in the database only, they're not like directories you can protect with an .htaccess file :( So the only is to actually code it in the php scripts. There isn't a "simple" solution I can think of. I think the idea would be to have the restricted categories in a table in the database and code the check in something like application_top.php. The check would see if that specific (logged in) customer would be allowed access etc. Mattice "Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
