getting started with spooky login - 8/19/2002 17:26:14
Could someone help me get started with the " Spooky Login" ? I have had the program since April and been pondering ever since how to use it. ( In this area I am a pre- pre- novice)...but I am determined to " get it!"
Here is what I have done so far:
Installed and uploaded the program... Yeah ... I can log in as an administrator and as other names and Email!
2. Noodling my way around the admin menu page. Put check marks in almost everything and uploaded it. I was trying to make the login settings; not sure if I did this right. Yes I did press the submit changes button.
3. Strategize on how to use this ... what pages.... Essentially I want to use my web site to send paid participants to the program site they registered for with a login. Each program is a subweb. SOooooo..... on the root web I set up a page called " Member Services" with a link for each program on that page. Click on one of the program links and it takes you to an .asp page which I would like to protect with login. If the participant successfully logs in this page the pages provides the link to their subweb.
Problem so far. It doesn' t work like that. I am not sure what I am missing.
Also test email does not work.
What is the next two steps. I think I am close!
The site page in question is http://www.LightTravels.com/members.htm has 3 links. I was practicing with the 2nd link where nothing happens... I just get to the subweb without being asked for login
My appreciation and gratitude to anyone who can point the way!

Hi Spooky,
Thanks so much, I redid that script and put the URL back in!... I actually understand that part now.
the page www.lighttravels.com/masters.asp is in the root web. I took the link off of that page that would redirect folks to the sub web and republished but still get the error... " Page not found"
The problem seems to be in protecting this page. The diagnostics page comes up with nice green check marks and seems to be in order as far as I can tell.
Does the page itself need to be in a directory? .... uh... I will try it and report back.
[:p]
:) Okay ... I tried putting the page I would like to protect in a directory in the root web... published it and it still returned a " Page not found" error.
Any other suggestions?
Thank you so much!
CW

The only other thing I can think of is perhaps I wrote the code out wrong. I did do it in NOTEPAD as suggested and cut and paste it into the html view of the page like so:
<%
Response.buffer=True
If Session(" UserName" ) = " " Then
Response.redirect " /login.asp?Redirect=" &Request.Servervariables(" URL" )
End if
%>
<html>
.....reverting to my learning style of making up stories... is this close?[:j]
Thanks so much!

Thanks Spooky,
I will get this yet!
So far I have not done anything with a sub web.
What I did after the last post was create a folder in the root web called members and in it placed the file members.asp . You can get to this page from the home page navigation at http://www.LightTravels.com or go to http://www.lighttravels.com/Members/members.asp
There are 3 child pages under members.asp and each of these pages have a link on members.asp.
I tried to protect one of these links ( http://www.lighttravels.com/masters.asp ) as practice, by pasting in the script as directed. That lead to a page not found error. BY the way, even though, the page masters.asp is in the Members folder... its not showing up that way on the web.
Putting the script on either page results in a page error.
HELP! Please!
Still a mystery.

I can' t get to sleep... I have to figure this out. sooo I am back....
Now I have the Members.asp page and masters.asp page both in a folder on the root web. The script is done in note pad and pasted into the beginning of the page /masters.asp . However, when published, and you right click for " view source code" ... the script does not show up.
That looks a little suspicious or am I just imaginative?
If you look at the html view of /masters.asp LIVE in FP, the script is there.
So at this point I have the script pasted in - I think correctly; the page still does not ask for a login.
Login is indeed in the root directory.
The diagnostics would lead me to believe the program has been installed correctly as I can actually log on as the administrator.
What else could it be? Hmmm....
Tomorrow....

Well, a bit of a brain storm happened today prior to leaving for the dentist. I imagine the anxiety of that stimulated the gray cells a tad!
Okay .... I have gotten a little farther ... check the first link on this page. I put the proper login direction there. Try and log on if you have time and see where you land. I think I have to make a success page that takes you back to the protected page. Something like that.
http://www.lighttravels.com/Members/members.asp
Hopefully the brain fog imposed by the dentist will lift tomorrow!
I must say... I am enjoying trying to figure this out!
