Hi,
Can anyone tell me where I'm doing something wrong? Initially the default was able to add but I put back the login for a new user; i changed the permission and it seemed to work fine ; ie the "add" shows up if you login but when i tried to view one of the items it sends me to login. What's going on? Did I miss a step.

any help will be appreciated

cheers

Check your permissions and also the field to associate each record with the user.

$auth_user_field = 1; ## set to the userid field

Hope this helps

Great you 're there!!

Yes I have auther_user_fiels=1

permissionswise, this is what i have for a default user to view ONLY.
For registered ones View/Add

$auth_no_authentication = 0;
$auth_logging = 1;
$auth_allow_default = 1;
@auth_default_permissions = (1,0,0,0,0);
$auth_signup = 1;
@auth_signup_permissions = (1,1,0,0,0);
$auth_modify_own = 0;
$auth_view_own = 0;
$auth_user_field = -1;

Hi LoisC,

I want to add this in case it could help:
my link to the login had Hidden name like this:

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="db" VALUE="default">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="uid" VALUE="">

I wanted to mention that just in case....
Hope to hear from you soon

cheers

Hi LoisC

I've made a typo

in my previous thread please read

$auth_user_field = 1;

and not -1

sorry for the misleading error

cheers

You permissions look okay, I'm really confused by saying your link contains:

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="db" VALUE="default">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="uid" VALUE="">

Do you have an external form for logging in? Does everything work when logging in and viewing from within your database? If so, check the FAQ noted below under the section for "Forms" and view the sample login form, perhaps there is something you are missing?

Hope this helps
