Thread: Members login area help needed

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 !!.

answers??, anyone????

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.

thanks naval, i'll give it a shot, if i get stuck again i'll give you a holler

Navel please help I did creat all the pages and published them but when I try them on the web they do not go anywhere
Please help

I need a link to your pages to see how they behave.

Thanks for the post for my question please read below here I have detail explanation of what I need to get going
Within Blue Voda software and on the menu there is a section called "LOGIN TOOLS" and there are no tutorials for it
If you double click On this fixed forms you get to the forms property and without a basic knowledge it is hard to figure what you need to modify and it is hard to manage and undrestand and how and where to save "Create Databas" in order to get each individual form to connect and work properly
Every other turtorial is explaind well but this part
I appreciate if you could diret me to solve this issue that is stock in my brainless head!

I'm afraid that this would require me to actually create a full tutorial, which is very hard for me due to limited free time.

Please also note that the current BV version should be final (bug free) in a couple of days, and immediatelly after the necessary new tutorials will also be posted.

Thank so much for your post Naval
I have figured out much of it the only issue is how and where to create the database.
Can you please let me know when the tutorials are available
Hope you have a great weekend.

HELP! Created pages for member login. How do I create the database and how do i access it.

What is meant by the remote folder and Where do i save the data file

PLEASE! Don't use features of a product that is still beta!

Please look at my last post: BV 11 is still beta, you should NOT be using it for production purposes, only for tests. And tutorials still need to be published after the product becomes stable!

Dear Naval
Seasons Greetings
Have you come up with any tutorials for signup page yet
I have not been able to work this part and figure out how and wher I need to creat databases
Your help is much appreciated

Sorry, but tutorials are VH duty and care. I am not sure what has been scheduled for the new tutorials.

Hi navaldesign,
I see that there is now a tutorial but none of the pictures exist - will these get added soon? (I couldn't add a reply to the tutorial itself)
I suspect that many people would like to charge for membership and have it all work automatically - any workarounds (or later enhancements) for this?
Thanks
Derek at www.Weig***ontrolMethod.com

Pictures will not appear as there is a downtime on my server, they awill appear as soon as this is fixed.

No such enhancement is planned as this requires an Online Management interface and a LOT of inner code, you need a paid for script for this.

After my server is up again, you can look at the one I have on my site.

You may also look for free ones on the net.
