On the new version of bv (bv11.4) you can set up login pages where members use their own usename and password to access a members area of a website, now, do i need to set up the pages in the members area as php and not html?, where do i start? , nearly all my members pages are html, do i need to change them all?...so many questions... Do i need to create new folders in my cp (control panel) ???.. Where's jesus when you need him?, please help !!.

All script pages need to be php
No need for new folders, the scripts protects each single page.
Protected pages MUST also be php
You start creating, in order:

1. A page with the Signup object which will create the Signup form
2. A page with the Login object (that will be used for users to Login each time they visit)
3. a Page with the Admini object (That will allow you to manage your users)
4. A Deny page: a page with a simple "Sorry, you have no permissions to access this page. Please Login or Register" message. Link the "Login" text to the Login page, and the Signup text to the Signup page.
5. A Page with the Forgot Password object, that will allow your members to recover their password if forgotten.

Plus, in each page that you wish to protect, you need to add the "Password Protect Page" object.

Please note that BV 11.4 is NOT yet bug free and it is NOT recommended to use it for production purposes.

In the same way you access any normal page of your site, through your navigation menu! Create a protected "Members Homepage" that will be the login destination page, and add there the necessary menus or links to allow your users to navigate through the protected pages as they would normally do.

Naval Design, thanks again sir. Please take a moment to look at this.... I have created public area and a protected area on my website (http://eroticfantasycomix.com) i want people to join via paypal (http://eroticfantasycomix.com/join.html) i want them to choose their usenames and passwords , i want it done all automatically. where do i start?, where do i put the sign up button?, where do i put the login button? where do i put the admin area? where do i put the forgot password button etc etc...
i'm nearly there, its nearly done, all i need is instructions. can you suggest me what to do?.
grazie molto.
Chris.

The BV built in Login script CAN'T cooperate with PayPal, meaning that you can have your users pay through PayPal, BUT the script is not updated automatically, so you will need to MANUALLY set the users status to Active so they can access the protected area.

I have already answered you about the pages, please look again at my post above. Just create the pages as instructed above, and publish them in your site just as if they were normal pages.
