Hit a JavaScript site and find a script that does password protection.....or use FP' s password protection or can you do password protected directories?

I wouldn' t use FP validation. The best method would be to make the members section part of a subweb and create a username and password for members by editing the page live.
Since I believe you are using Geocities as your host, that isn' t an option. (In fact, I believe it' s against the Terns Of Servuce to actually put a password on the site at all.)
The next best solution is the Spooky Login. But you would need to be able to use ASP for that, and I don' t think Geocities supports ASP, either.
My next suggestion would then be a JavaScript. You can find a free one to use by doing a search in one of the main search engines. I' ll save you some trouble and give you a link to a script source for this:

RE: Help Me Please!! - 10/10/2002 6:49:51
Can you give me some more info on how to set up a subweb and how to password protect it?
I' ve tried but it didn' t work like it should. What I did:
- made a new folder
- put the pages in the folder
- selected the folder and converted it to a web
- published the site again
now I believe the adress had to becom something like:
http://www.originalsite.subweb.com
is it?
Or what am I doing wrong. Am I doing anything wright at all????
you can see I' m in deep. Please help me out.
thx

RE: Help Me Please!! - 10/10/2002 8:19:29
nope,
Is it possible that I have to publish the sub-web separately from the main web?
I mean, do I have to double click the sub-web to open it in FP and than publish is or is it automatically published whe I publish the main web.
I' m asking this because I do not want to risk overwriting all the data already on the server.
Excuse me my poor English but like I said in my bottom text " I,' m trying, I' m trying,..."

Sorry,
You' ve got a real dummy opver here. Ive now managed to find a little option in my publish screen which is named: " include subwebs" . I think that' s what I' m looking for.
I' ll give the following steps a go.

RE: Help Me Please!! - 10/10/2002 9:01:35
OK,
I,m half way there. (I think). Ive got my subweb. I know where to put in aditional users. One problem when I put them in e.g. login ' A' , pass ' AA' and I try to save. FP gives an error: error removin one or more users. the following user does not exist:" a" .
Can' t i just add a new user? Or do I have to use the pass and login of the first web. I do not want to do that because the users than can change my whole site. Or can i change the existing login and pass just for the subweb? Than again they will have all rights on the subweband I do not want that.
I marked the question ' unique permissions for this web' (I think it' s claaed like this but i don' t know for sure because I have a Dutch version.

I follow the same steps for the second part of your post. The first part bothers me though. What do you mean with the part of the administration home?
Do I have to make a new login and pass at my servers administration page first or what?

So the administration home is a screen within FP?
If it is. It doesnt work. I always get that blasted error message. Is it possible that my host doesn' t allow me to create a new login and pass for a subweb?

No...the " Administration Home" Page is not a screen within FP. The " Administration Home" Page opens up into a new browser window, when you go to Tools > Server > Administration Home.
Can you tell me exactly what you do step by step, to try and add new users?
I' m also not sure about your host. If you think it might be your host, just contact them and see what they say.
Keep me updated.
Rio

RE: Help Me Please!! - 10/11/2002 7:25:47
Hi Smirnie,
When the site is opened live and you go under
" select " extra" (tools in English???)
select " beveiliging" (security in english???) "
Underneath " beveiliging" (you say security in english), are there any other options underneath this category? Anything relating to Administration Home or Home? If there is, have you tried any other options under this category.
When you open your site live, are you in your Subweb?
The problem might be actually be with your host, like you said previously. Have you contacted them and asked them why you could not add users to your Subweb?
I' ve never come pass a problem like this, but I am determined to help you to the end.
Regards,
Rio.
P.s. Could you also please confirm this. You' ve already created your Subweb, published it, disabled Anonymous Access, and changed your Subweb to use unique permissions. So you' ve actually got your Subweb folder password protected, you just need to add users.
Also, do you think you might have to add users through your control panel your WebHost provides you when you join them.

RE: Help Me Please!! - 10/11/2002 9:58:59
first:
there is something underneath:
change password but i cannot change the loggin there so I think this will be for the whole site
second:
yes I open the site live in my subweb
third:
correct, It is password protected, it' s just the password of the whole site
fourth:
I' ve no idea how to do this
I tried to add a ftp client, that worked but it didn' t solve my prioblem

Sorry to interrupt, but will this way be protected from the FP search feature?
quote:
Please remember, that this is a client side function.
You can also browse the page code to find the hidden password, so it isn' t actually secure at all
I have done some ASP pages, but they show up in the FP site search (as Spooky said) and that' s not good enough protection. I wonder if I should be doing what you are talking about here. Is there a beginners tutorial to get started?
