I need password protection and member log on added to a yahoo sitebuilder page. Am willing to pay...if it can be done...any experts out there?
Not an expert on this having never used it myself. But, do you want to just have one user / pass combination that you give out to friends to access the same area or will people you dont know make up their own usernames / passwords - like they would on this forum for example? If the former then the easiest way to do it would be via htaccess and a htpasswd file: Source: http://www.weberdev.com/get_example-130.html You will also need a user/password generator e.g. http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator/ If you have a decent host and it's just a single user/pass they'd probably set it up for you with no problem. If not, if you Google on the term "htpasswd" you'll probably find some tutorials.
I have someone from Romania I use to do some programming work and other stuff for my web site, he is fairly reasonable. If you want his contact info PM me
Steve, I need people to create their own password similiar to this site. SO people can check the status of applications...
It gets a lot more complicated when you have multiple users all with different user/pass combinations to access different areas that are unique to the user concerned, and that's well beyond my scope. If it were something I was looking to implement myself then I'd first look for an out of the box solution (like this forum). There is a ton of software out there both free and paid. I'm sure something would meet your needs. Best place to start might be here: http://www.hotscripts.com/ If not you could go for a custom script, but then it starts getting expensive.
