I need a multi user star page script...
Hi..

I have the Start Page script from www.xav.com/scripts/ and it's really great, BUT, I need it to be made into a mutil user version..

I don't know which way it would be best to do this, and Im really no good at cgi.. Frown

I think it'd have a page where people register for a free start page, enter a username and password, and any optional info that might be useful... maybe an email address to auto email them their welcome email with details etc...

They would then log in to their start page, and I guess it'd write to their own text files on the server?!

something like http://www.somewebhost.com/cgi-bin/start.cgi?user=Bob&pass=Beans

Could someone modify the start script from www.xav.com/scripts for me?!?! please..? Smile I can't pay for i, but id be really greatful, and im sure that it can't be that much of a difficult thing to do Smile

Just thought of something...

if the url to the persons start page is something like http://www.somewebhost.com/cgi-bin/start.cgi?user=Bob&pass=Beans it'd have to do something to make sure that when people linked out of a site, it didn't have the pass, and probably the user too, as it'd make the start page very insecure.. (people would be able to see the user pass info from the referrer logs!)

Maybe it could be made to work with .htaccess and the REMOTE_USER thing!? maybe? I dunno, Im not all that good with cgi Frown
