This makes it easy for me to create a drag-and-drop installation for my clients. Each site is instantly portable when *ALL* the templates and db's for the entire site are contained within a single folder.Here's what I do:1- create a new folder for my client's web site2- create a duplicate of the users.db and rename it access.db3- create a duplicate of the multigroupchecker file and rename it protect4- in the protect file, change all occurrences of users.db to access.db5- place these and all other templates and db's into my client's web site folder6- use tags like the following for protecting pages inside my client's web site:[include file=protect&groups=group1,group2,group3]By the way, you can add as many additional fields to the access.db as you need. So if you're registering users and giving them protected access to certain pages, the access.db is the natural place for their registration data to be maintained ... :)Sincerely,Ken Grome808-737-6499WebDNA Solutionsmailto:ken@webdna.nethttp://www.webdna.net
