User Authentication before Add/Mod
Hi,

Can anyone tell me if they have successfully managed to make the user to login to the system before being able to add or modify a link?

I have been reading through this thread...

http://gossamer-threads.com/perl/forum/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=LSQLDisc&Number=69800&page=&view=&sb=&part=1&vc=1

which describes what I'm after - but the way the thread ends I'm not sure whether it's working or not??

The code supplied half way through the thread...

http://jsu7785.hypermart.net/sql/

looks like it also gives the user a list of their links once they log in to modify them if I'm reading it right?

Does anyone know if there is an easy to read mod page that explains it?

Cheers

Regan.

It does work with the code tweaks outlined in the Thread you've posted.

I got it working, apparantly. Haven't released it yet, but it asks for userid/password before an add or modify, then returns you to that page. If you are an editor, it redirects you to the editor screen.

It requires a lot of tweaking. Go slow, and follow all the suggestions. There is no "one way" to do it. Unfortunately.

That shouldn't happen...probably a problem with the to parameter.
