Hello,

I would like to make life easier to my users (don't we all). I have a database where users submit ads. Now each ad contains the information of that user which never changes. As I figured the .pass file contain the user's reference and user rights. (# UserID : Password : View : Add : Del : Mod: Admin).

I suppose it would be possible to add information to that file and paste it into the add-form once the user has logged in.

But how to do that not being a PERL-whiz.

Thanks in advance

The best suggestion (as Carol-JPDeni will agree, I hope) is that you NOT add more information into the .pass. The more data you store in the .pass file, the higher risk you chance with people hacking the file.

The better solution is to create a second database that contains member information.

Thanks Eliot for the quick response,

Now how do I insert the data from the second file (member database) in the form of the first database (ads database).

Thanks

That would have to be a JPDeni (Carol) question. She has written some mods for people using membership type of databases and inserting data from other databases.

She should be back soon...I hope.

Thanks Eliot,

I did find the answer ....
If anyone is interested, let me know.
I'll post it once I am sure it works (together with some other minor useful mods)

Cheers

Great.
