password protect signing - can it be done?

Hi

I know it is easy to password protect the 'comments' feature of Advanced Guestbook but is it possible to protect the 'signing' (addentry.php) page? i.e. so only those who are given a password can sign the book?

Thanks

Rick

Actually, what I am trying to achieve is the possibility to use the guestbook as a kind of 'ads page' - so I (or someone else with permission) can easily upload a picture and item description of something for sale. Of course I can cut out all links to the sign page but that won't stop someone finding it and uploading trash!

Maybe someone knows of an alternative software? All of the 'community forum' type facilities are way too complcated for what I want.

Look into using a .htaccess and .htpasswd file to achiveve this. It could be achieved with some PHP but not that simple.

hmm, thanks for the pointer - I have just been investigating some file protection scripts but they seem mainly to go with html files - I'll check into what you have mentioned

Thanks

Any more offers of a simple solution???

Well, I read the little debate you referenced but it didn't make clear if this sets out to simply password-protect the 'sign' page - does it? or is it just a fix against robots accessing the gbook?

Regards, Rick

that bit of code means you have to sign in to any page that contains that bit of code.

right, I shall give it a try - but it seems pretty complicated!!!

that was actually v simple!!!

thank you!

... however, when I return to the page, even after closing all browser windows it doesn't require the login again!?!?

.. ah, just tried again and it did rqr login - brill
