LOGIN COMPONENT – Server (IP) address and port & e-mail field + from field & SMTP

[Cuppenbkh]

Because I am not technical I have some problems with adding some NOF11-components.
Adding the Login Component these questions are:
- (1) Server (IP) address and Port of the server (How can I find them?)
I already looked within configuration system, but without result.
- E-mail field and from field.
(2) Is it possible that those tho fields are the same, namely my e-mailaddress?
- I want to work with one user and one password.
Users only have to know the password.
(3) So how working with one fix user-id and fixed password,
where users only have to know the password?
Knowing the password a user get entry to some information.
(4) How to make it IMpossible for users to make an account?
(ONE user account and one account for the administrator!)
(5) Within which NOF-component I have to make the two necessary accounts?
- (6) Is SMTP relevant for me?

if you have the answer to one or more of the questions above I am very thankful to here from you.

Sounds like you only need a server level password protected folder. this is easily done though your hosting control panel. Here is my Linux tutorial on how to create a protected area (i.e. password protected) in my hosting control panel: http://www.gotfusion.com/support/tut...3-protect.html

Ask your web host how to do this on your account or search for their password protection tutorial.

First thanks for showing me the way to an easy tutorial to create a password protected area / directory!!!!!!
NOF11 places all pages in one directory.
How I have to use NOF11 to create a special / seperate password protected directory with all pages I want to protect?
Or is it even possible to create with cPanel a password protected page / password protected pages?

The answer on the questions above makes it possible for me to decide to procure cPanel or not.

Your web host will provide your control panel. Find out what they have. I assumed you were on a linux host as most hosts offer linux as it is free. I offer both Linux and Windows hosting

You can customize your fusion publish folders in publish view.

Make your secure pages as you would make any other page in page view (make as many as you want)

Go to Publish view (click on the publish icon)
Press CTRL + N (which will create a new folder)
Name it secure (or whatever you want to call your secure folder)
Drag and drop any html pages you want to be secure into the secure folder.
Drag and drop any graphics you want to have in the secure folder

Log into your hosting control panel and make the "secure" folder password protected.

This is the simplest way to make a password protected area as Fusion will take care of all the linking for you (Fusion knows where things are)

Thanks (!!!!!) Mike,

I never use(d) Linux, but the rest of your reply was very clear.
To make the web-directory password protected cPanel is expensive when you don't make professional use of the software. The free version only works for 15 days. On the web I searched for other software (FREEWARE).

Two alternatives (?!) I found for creating a password protected webdirectory are
- Protectorion Free and
- My Lockbox

Who can advise me FREEWARE to create a password free WEB-directory?
Important for me is that it is easy in use. I am not a code-specialist.

Do you have a live web site? What is the URL?

[Cuppenbkh]

Yes, I have a live website.
As a member ("and little sponsor") of a choir I bought NOF11 to built a website as professional as possible.
The URL is http://www.viventevenlo.nl/
The password-protected directory is a directory "For members" with only ONE password.
How to create that directory I already learned from an earlier reply.
The only thing that rests is protecting this directory so that peeople have to give in a password.

Does it influence the answer on my question for easy to use freeware to create a password detected directory?

I'm anxious to the next step in this "continuing story".

I don't speak or read the language so I can get you only to the list of help options for your web host:

Look for password protection or under the htaccess section for password protecting a folder/directory.

cPanel is a control panel provided by your web host (pxExtreme?). It is not something you would need to buy unless you are running your own web server out of your basement.

If your web host uses Linux with Apache web server, you can set up a password protected directory by using a file called .HTACCESS. This is why the question about Linux. It involves creating the .HTACCESS file (or adding to the existing file) and placing it in the directory in question.

cPanel, if your host uses it, provides a very user friendly interface to do this. That's why the questions -- to try to help you without having to go through this explanation if it's not applicable. You could take a look inside CONTROLEPANEL -- that may, in fact, be cPanel, or it may provide the same functionality.

Alternatively, you could use this tool at Dynamic Drive, then upload the files yourself.

This is entirely moot if your site is NOT an Apache/Linux server.

If you're comfortable installing and configuring scripts, you could try Web Page Password Protect
