Ok when I go to my site I have to login throught the amemeber page then it gives me the link to my subscriptions, which are using htaccess so then I get a popup and have to enter the name and password again...anyway to stop that?
Goto Admin Control Panel -> Setup and Configuration -> Advanced -> Display User/Pass in the URL -> Set to Yes. This should solve your problem, but displays a unencrypted user and pass. You have to decide what is better for you. Cheers, Christos
Jason, you may use htpasswd_secure protection to get username/password encrypted in URL. http://cgi-central.net/amemberdocs/
htpasswd_secure I am trying to use this according to the help file. However there is no choice for htpassword_secure. What am I missing? Chuck Setting Up Protection Step 1: Enable htpasswd plugin. Open the aMember Admin Control Panel Click on Setup/Configuration from the left menu The Configuration : Global screen opens From the top menu on this page click Plugins The Configuration : Plugins screen opens Select Protection Plugins A list of the options available for protection appears, select htpasswd_secure (hold Ctrl key pressed on keyboard) Click on Save button Click on Rebuild Db in main menu (left frame).
The solution is to use mod_rewrite+php_include and other php_include protection options. After latest IE6 fix by Microsoft, it is impossible to avoid popup login box with htpasswd.
prevent direct access using this method? OK I followed all this (amazingly, two days ago it seemed like a foreign language) and using the other options as suggested works fine except: If I enter the protected url directly into the browser I get straight in to the content. So I seem to be stuck with either a double log in or leaky preotection, neither of which is helping much. Ooops - worked out what was wrong there - I had checked 'remember my login' so it kept letting me in. Once I put a 'logout' link on the page and tried to enter directly, I got the login page. I only wish I were as clever as this program!
