Apologies if this is covered in the FAQ setcion or another thread but I can't find it.

I need a login script that will allow me to automatically send a user to his/her own restricted area on my site once they have logged in; based purely upon their username and not having to manually select their name from a dropdown which will compromise security.

For example:

Fred accesses my site, hits the log in button, enters his username and password and is immediately presented with his personal files. No-one knows Fred exists and no-one else can access his folder.

Can your Membership Manager deal with this (a) easily, (b) effectively, and © securely?

I'm hoping to receive a big YES to everything from you because the script seems to do everythign esle I need so I'm looking forward to downloading and implementing it soon.

Regards, Dave.

A few questions come up on your usage of the program. There are several ways of protecting areas but the best way with what you're looking to do would be the .htaccess method.

Where a visitor could click on a link to:

http://www.website.com/members/

Which they would enter the user & pass to. Once they entered they would land on the index of /members/ - which would then re-direct them to their own folder. Which you could block out access to this folder to only that username, and you as the admin if you wish.

Would you be creating these users accounts as the administrator and their own folder w/ files for them?

If this sounds like what you need submit a contact ticket and we'll continue there with more detailed questions.

I think we can accomplish what you are looking for no problem.

Thanks!

Yes this sounds like it's exactly what I need - is this a standard feature or will it be some bespoke coding?

I would submit a contact ticket but can't see where to do it.

Please advise.

Many thanks,
Dave.

Can i ask, would admin have to create a htacess file for each of the new members, or would admin have to add to an alreday existing htaccess file stored in the /member folder?

You would add the .htaccess file when creating the folder. You should set the require user line in the file to just that username you want allowed in, and maybe the admin account as well.

Some server setups would allow the program to create the file for you, others will not unless you first set a writable permission on the folder.
