I am building website for a pipe club I am forming. I would like the "member list" to be hidden from the public and available to members who have the club password. Any ? Thanks.:confused;

You have three choices -

1. Don't do it at all.
2. Do it in a way that is only minimally secure, but easy to implement.
3. Do it the right way.

I'm guessing #2 would be your preference? If so, go here -

http://www.divahtml.com, and look for their password extension for DW.

Given that this is such a common requirement - it would be good to
think that Adobe have included a secure way using php behaviour in DW
CS4 - along the lines of David Powers techniques in his books. ? :-))

And given that David clearly has a beta release - from his online demo
- I really hope this is the case.

DW has always had User Authentication Server Behaviors (at least since DW
UD). For someone at ground although the use of these SBs would get the job
done, they would not qualify as 'simple', in my opinion.

first thing- check your hosting.
If you have a control panel or CPanel, there are icons in there to password
protect a directory and add authorized users. Put that page inside the
protected directory.

It's an Apache server, can you use php scripting on it?
If yes- this free script will put an admin page in whatever folder you drop
it into, which will allow you to add/edit/delete authorized users.
It takes care of making the htaccess and pswrd files.

I greatly respect your expertise Murray - but David Powers Book "PHP
for Dreamweaver 8" ( and probably CS3 ? ) Chapter 10 - Using Sessions
to track visitors" - spends a lot of text describing how to do this
AND put a secure validation process in place - that Dw does have .

And even in chapter 6 - page 162 - David says " To be honest, sending
an email from an online form is just the sort of task that Dreamweaver
should automate, but unfortunately it doesn't."

So I hope that these areas are being improved in Dw10.

Get the beta and see for yourself. This release has huge changes in nearly
everything except server behaviors. That will be for the next release. Add
your voice to the choir....

Password Protect 6, to which you refer, is actually at

http://valleywebdesigns.com/vwd_passprotect6.asp

There's just so much to keep in your head. I understand.
