Re: How do I make a login page for a private community

Yes. After you find out your host procedures as to how to create it, you
will create a password protected sub-folder (or they may call it a
directory) alongside (at the domain level) the index.htm file and
index_files folder that you create and upload for your main site (assuming
that you are using Pub 2003). This subfolder, which I will call 'executive',
will be password protected as per your host instructions. After you create
your 'Executive report' content/website in a second Publisher file, you will
publish the html files to the 'executive' folder, so it will have its own
index.htm file and index_files folder. Then from your main website you will
write a link to the website contained in the password protected folder. I
prefer to use absolute links for this to keep things less confusing. So
while the link to your main website would be:

http://www.yoursite.com/index.htm

The link to the password protected folder/site would be:

http://www.yoursite.com/executive/index.htm

When someone clicks that link in your main site, the password dialog will
pop up, and they will need the password to enter the Executive Report
website. After entering the password, the site will load.

David,

Thanks for the help. As I am relatively new to Publisher and web
development, I have a couple more questions. Do the new Publisher files
need
to be in a sub-folder? When I create a link to that exec page, how do I
direct the link?

Thanks again for all of the help and ideas.

Excuse me for jumping in here. Don places his downloadable files in his
password protected folders/directories. You should produce the web pages
that you want to password protect by using a different Publisher file,
and
then linking to that/those page(s) from your main site. In other words,
you
build your site with multiple Publisher files. Your main website will be
loaded to your server at the domain or root level, just as you are doing
now. The Executive Reports site/page built with a different Publisher
file,
is uploaded to the password protected folder/directory, and linked to it
from the main site.

As to how to create a password protected folder/directory that varies
with
hosts and platform. Go to your support or FAQs section of your webhost
and
look for information about creating them.

Don,

I checked this out and it is very much inline with what I am trying to
do.
Here is my scenario. I am creating a web site for a reporting
dashboard.
There will be pages that should only be visible to certain individuals
based
on their access level. Example Jane Doe can access the main pages PLUS
access
the "Executive Reports" page.

Is my interpretation correct that this can be done? If so, my big
question
is HOW???


Thanks!

Lars,

Here's some added info:

On a test website of mine I've created a link to a "User name",
"Password"
protected folder.

See if it is what you're looking for. Follow the instructions when
you
click on the Safe.

Do want everyone who visits your website to be required to enter a

and
password?

Or do you want to have only certain people to be able to have
access
to a
specific page on your website?

These can be built into your website but only if the Internet
Provider
offers the means. Contact your I.P. and ask if password protected
folders
are allowed. If they are, we can go from there.
