Login Script

Watdaflip · #1 12-21-2007, 11:23 PM

Hey everyone,

Background:
There has been dozens if not hundreds of posts about how to create a register and login page for your website. You had two options, one was to go into cPanel, create a password protected directory, and manually add each and every use for it. Or you could install a login script, which required making all of your pages have a .php extension, change all of your links, and then add some code to each page.

Now there is a third choice. I have created a login script which uses a password protected directory. Once you install the script, your users just have to go the register form, once they register (depending on some setting your choose), then can then login to the password protected directory just as if you have created their account for them in cPanel.

Script Information:
Here are the features of the script:

Easy installation process (I provided written instructions, as well as a step by step video tutorial with audio)
Highly customizable, any file that you users or yourself use with the script can be changed, as well as options like:

Email authentication
Admin authentication
Admin notification when a user registers
Requiring a valid email address
If multiple users can have the same email address
Minimum characters of the username and password

Forgot password form so users can have their password reset to their choosing if they forget it or just want it changed
Resend activation email, if you have email authentication enabled and the user did not receive the email or accidentally deleted it.
Ability to use the FTP function in PHP instead of CHMOD to set file permissions (You don't need to worry about this really, I just wanted people to be aware its there)
Admin panel to administrate all of your users. The admin panel features:

Listing of all of your users divided into pages
Sorting of users by username, email address, and activation status.
Editing of the users username, password, and email address
Deleting users whom you no longer wish to have access
Searching for users based on either username or email address
If admin authentication is activated, you can activate the users via the admin panel

Not only that but I have created two video tutorial with audio of me explaining as we go along (sorry ahead of time, but as the video goes on the audio gets a little out of sync with the video, I can't prevent it).

So how do I get the script?

Unfortunately, I will be selling it (sorry, I'm a university student, money is one thing that is always in short supply).

I will be selling the script for $40 USD via Paypal (or check/money order if you do not have paypal).

To get the script send me an email to watdaflip******.com, with the subject "Login script", "Want to purchase login script".. something along those lines, and I will give you further information.

For $40 what all do I get?
You get a copy of the script, and full email support directly from me, I'll do my best to guide you through installing and using, and should be able to answer any questions you have. The video tutorials mentioned above are available free with no additional charge, I recommend you watch them if you can't figure it out at first, it should help. I will also answer any questions or problems you have here on the forums if you make a post.

Is there anywhere I can see a live demo of the script?
Yes, please visit,

How many of my websites can I use this on?
You can use it on any and all of the websites that you personal own (If you're making a website for your in-laws or family that's fine too). If you run a business creating websites for others I do request you purchase a separate copy for them.

How does the script work?
Basically when the user registers, they are added to a database like a normal login script. Depending on how you have the script configured there might be some additional steps before their account is activate and they can log in. Once their account is activated, the .htpasswd file is opened by the script, and the users details are written, it is then closed and the permissions are changes on the file to make it secure. They can then login like you normal would with a password protected directory.

I am having trouble installing the script can you do it for me?
I can, I just charge a minimal fee of $10 to cover the time it take for me to install the script. Just send me an email and we will go from there.

Is there a paid membership feature?
No, I no longer create any script that processes any payment whatsoever, sorry. If someone creates a modification for this script that accepts payment to register and want to release it for others to use I will be more then happy to include it with the script files, but I don't be making one myself to do this.

That's about it, if you have any questions, comments, concerns, etc feel free to post a reply to this thread, or email me.

Have a good day, and a Merry Christmas.

Dude, this is awesome! Now if only I had a job... I'm still in school. Maybe I can buy this for my b'day in March. It's pretty awesome and I would LOVE to use it in my website. I'll have you know that this is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! I would really like a free trial but of course, that's not possible without giving the whole thing away. I'd like to see an upgrade on the demo i.e. a few proper pages that you have to log in for first. Otherwise, wonderful stuff!

Darctanion · #3 01-25-2008, 04:26 PM

This seems great and alot easier to use for me anyway. Having a heck of a time trying to use the AFVFP.

Question thou, i will need the paid membership feature too althou i think i can do that separately through paypal. What i want to know is if there is a way if i buy this script to set up a duration where after a set time each persons membership is erased. Unless they renew their subscription.

Make sense?

Let me know. Thanks

Watdaflip · #4 01-25-2008, 06:31 PM

With some modifications to the script itself it can be setup like..

Users register but cant login until an admin activates the account (This feature is already built in)

Now for what would be needed:
When activated by the admin the date activated is recorded, and some code is set to execute every night to check if a year (or whatever subscription term you want) has passed, if it has deactivate the account (or delete if you really wanted it to). Then if the user wanted another subscription they would pay and the admin would reactivate the account, the time would be reset to the present date, and they would have another term.
Also something like a renew button could be added in the admin panel to reset the time to have an additional term added before the subscription would expire

But the script itself, as it is now does not have this feature built in, it would require modifying the script

TCJJ · #5 01-25-2008, 06:56 PM

Could you turn off the admin activation so users just have to activate by email? And what about blocking certain email addresses and names so they can't be used or even using wild cards e.g. *********.com (although I wouldn't block hotmail since it's commonly used).

Watdaflip · #6 01-26-2008, 04:43 PM

Yes admin activation can be disabled by changing a setting in the config file. The blocking of emails isn't built in, but something small like that can be added by request when purchasing the script

TCJJ · #7 01-27-2008, 12:05 AM

Ok and can you block unwanted usernames etc. AND for both, use wildcards? (*)

Watdaflip · #8 01-27-2008, 12:24 AM

All features of the script are listed at the top of the page. Blocking certain emails or usernames are features that can be added that latter being a little more involved. Some things like blocking certain emails is not a big deal to implement if requested when purchasing the script. Larger modifications to the script would require paying for the time it would take to create the modification.

TCJJ · #9 01-27-2008, 01:52 AM

Oh ok, that's all I would want added (those two blocks) if they could also use wildcards and it was free at purchase. Anyway, thanks and I hope I can buy this wonderful script in the future!

I am interested though need a question or two answered. The site that I'm building for a client has buttons that are public area, member's buttons that when you open give a preview of what is in the area but then require another button to log in. He as well runs PAP3.0 on his system for his Affiliates. What he would like to do is to have the Affiliate username and passwords to be linked to this login so they don't have to have a second one. Can this be done with your program? Is there a way to link the two together and use them as one? If so I would be very interested in this program.

I've never used PAP, so I can't say this for sure, but most likely all passwords for PAP are encrypted. Because of this if the two scripts were to be integrates, all current members would have to have their password reset.
Also there would be two separate logins (but using the same user/pass).
And lastly it would require modification of the PAP registration and possibly other files PAP files or files for my script). The admin panel for my script couldn't be used after integration either.

Hope that answered your questions

navaldesign · #13 04-24-2008, 04:09 PM

This can only be done with a custom script that would use the same database table as PAP to authenticate users. It can be done, but is a custom script.

Hi Watdaflip

I tried emailing you on the email you provided in this post but it did not work. I am interested in buying your login script. Is there any other email I can reach you on?

Watdaflip · #15 05-21-2008, 09:26 PM

Yes you can contact me at admin@watdaflip.net
