Simple log in

[Nuwanda]

Hello was wondering if anyone could help me. Is there is a simple way to add a login to a website, maybe similar to this. I basically want to be able to allow people to create a username and password to gain access to certain parts of a website.

Thanks

did you try using a database?

There are ways ...

How simple they are really depend on your knowledge.

You're probably going to have to do some coding.

The simplest I can think of ... would be to install a CMS and use its registration panel for all that stuff.

Alternatively you'll have to create
1: registration page
2: process that info
3: have a validation system
4: have a login screen
5: have a forgotten password link

Each page that is "protected" will then require people to be logged in which would be a fairly simple call at the start of each of the protected pages.

How easy all this is ... is really up to you.

Is it a site that already exists? If it's an existing site, put all your private pages into one folder and add .htaccess to that folder. That would create a one password for all which may be all you need.

If the site doesn't already exist I would think the simplest would be to set up a wordpress blog and create private pages and posts.

Great, thanks for that advice.
