ok. i don't know how to have pages accesable to only some ppl..
no. i don't want to password protect the directory, it only gives you one username.. ok here it is what im planning have a staff.sitename.com subdomain and have all of the pages under the staff subdomain to be protected.. i want to have a login system which is going to be accessible to about 10 ppl & each have they're own username. how do i do that? did i explain myself correctly? PS. i want to use html not php and i have XAMPP for testing pages just in case.. |

I wrote a really basic one, it's not going to be the most secure login form, but it will get the job done.
The second one has to be saved as "passList.js" in the same directory as the first one. CODE <html> <head> <title>Login</title> <script src="passList.js"></script> <script> <!-- Begin nameSW = false passwordSW = false function getUser() { if (names.length != passwords.length) {alert("Database error!");return false;} alert("Names:\n"+names); alert("Passwords\n"+passwords) alert("# of names = "+names.length); alert("# of passwords = "+passwords.length) name = prompt("Please enter your name"); password = prompt("Please enter your password"); for (i=0; i<names.length; i++) { if(name == names[i]) {nameSW = true; break} } if (password == passwords[i]) passwordSW = true if (nameSW && passwordSW) location.href = "YOUR PAGE HERE" else location.href = "http://www.google.com" } // End --> </script> </head> <body onLoad="getUser()"> </body> </html> CODE /* Title this page passList.js */ // begin names = new Array() names[0] = "USERNAME" names[1] = "USERNAME" names[2] = "USERNAME" names[4] = "USERNAME" names[5] = "USERNAME" names[6] = "USERNAME" names[7] = "USERNAME" names[8] = "USERNAME" names[9] = "USERNAME" passwords = new Array() passwords[0] = "PASSWORD" passwords[1] = "PASSWORD" passwords[2] = "PASSWORD" passwords[3] = "PASSWORD" passwords[4] = "PASSWORD" passwords[5] = "PASSWORD" passwords[6] = "PASSWORD" passwords[7] = "PASSWORD" passwords[8] = "PASSWORD" passwords[9] = "PASSWORD" // end Tell me if this works, because I have no idea if it will or not, I only spent a few minutes writing it. |

There is no way to use just HTML to bulid a login page and javascript as provided is not secure because to disable that all you need to do is disable javascript.
Their are other languages that you could use other than PHP. I only know php so sorry I can't help you. |

^ Not to mention anyone could just open the passList.js file and see all the passwords.
@ OP: what do you mean by you don't want to password-protect the directory? If you don't protect it with a password, then anyone could get in there, unless you restrict it by IP address. |

I'm not sure if this is what you want, but I found a tutorial on Net Tuts+ that has a simple login system that would require PHP and MySQL.
Idk, I went ahead and just entered "login" as a keyword there and you can view the results here and you could see if you like something.  You could also try searching "custom login system" at google. :|

You could also try searching "custom login system" at google. :|Net Tuts+ is actually very nice, yet has it's moments. If you have access to WHM with no limitations (So basically if you have your own server) you could do this, but without that access I would go with what Mikeplyts suggested and use that. By the way, what are you using this area for? If you are doing just files and want to have your own designed template in the "staff" are, go for Net Tuts+. If you want a true staff area that is designed for production, look into a product management software of sorts. Two are already in Fantastico under your hosts cPanel (if they care about you) ready for installing, they are called dotProject and PHProjekt. DotProject Project Management featuring companies, projects, tasks (with Gantt charts), forums, files, calendar, contacts, tickets/helpdesk, language support, user/module permissions, themes. PHProjekt Project Management featuring optional group system, privileges, calendar, contacts, time card, projects, chat, forum, request tracker, mail client, files, notes, bookmarks, to-do list, reminder, voting, language support. Both work very well. Also look into some collaboration software, they differ somewhat from Project Management software, but are kinda cool. Now, if you are looking for login security, you need a SSL certificate as well. That's a whole other story, and a somewhat complicated one. |

Not to mention something of that large requirements using multiple software and MySQL services will be a heavy burden on a servers CPU. Meaning she might either need a VPS or a Dedicated server to actually run it, if the site gets big enough, which in this case could be a just a few people using different areas of the site, it will be too big to host on a shared hosting server environment. |

I think you could use that code I gave you from Net Tuts+ or maybe even the code Kevin (synatribe) gave you, and just manually add those pages and sections and stuff in there. I could probably help if you want.

if you use ASP coding, my script wont work cause PHP dosent work side by side with the servers unless you are using mySQL. Like Medic pointed out, something you requested is going to take up alot of CPU, so you would need to get at least a VPS.

It's not impossible to do, but it's impossible to do on a shared hosting account. You could install multiple software for your needs and they would have to remember a login for each system. A lot of what she is wanting to do can be done with a simple forum software and cPanel. You could mold your needs around phpBB, IPB or vBulletin.
-email (This can be done with Google Aps for your domain, it's free) -announcements (This can be done with a simple forum software) -links (This can be done with a simple forum software) -discussion (This can be done with a simple forum software) -calendar of events (This can be done with Google Aps for your domain, it's free) -projects currently being worked on (specified to person if possible): will have their own info (This could be done in a forum software environment) -file sharing (You could use RapidShare or MegaUpload to do this for free and post the links) -production schedule (This could be done in a forum software environment or the Calendar that comes with Google Apps) -script (movie) -call sheet (This could be done in Google Apps with Google Docs for your "domain") -storyboards (This can be done with Google Docs and/or the simple forum software) The only problem with all of the ideas I have thrown together is having to use two logins. One for your Google Apps login area and the other for the forums. You could host the downloads on your servers, but you'd have to make a shared public FTP area for all your users. |
