texte = Problem: I am trying to use WebDNA tags for a database for an online class website. This student database would contain student information (name, address, etc.) plus a username and password assigned by site administrators. There would be a second database to hold class information.When I read the info on the protect tag, it says that I need to define a group in the admin user.db. Would this group need to contain usernames and passwords for all students in the student database? It will probably be around 100 in the first semester and then grow from there. Is there a better way to do this?Why does it need password protection? The site has public pages for people who are thinking about taking a class and private pages for enrolled students.Caveat: I am very new to Webcatalog. I have 1 online shopping cart working. The manual is very good, but obviously I need a lot more info! Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
