suppose I have a directory of my site with videos in it.

would putting this hack on the page to download the videos prevent people from direct linking to them or downloading them in any other way?

No it wouldn't prevent that. This really only protects individual pages.

thank you ! Great idea to make static pages w/ content seen by usergroups.

This is beautiful in its simplicity.

I have integrated your vbauth hack into my Automated vBNews Programming Interface (AvPI) to allow only front page Administrators to be able to access the programmed articles administration page.

I was delightfully surprised to find that I was able to populate most of my fields based on the HTTP auth entry. Changed those text fields to hidden fields and greeted the user by name upon entry.

Great administrative tool - I can see lots more uses for this!

Thanks!

Hi there

If a user logs into the HTTP auth protected area, is there a way to make them appear in the Online users list in vb?

Perhaps adding a superscript E at the end of their name to signfy that they are logged into an external page/area?

so it seems you have adapted this to do exactly what I want to.
The only problem is.. what is the people know the exact path on the server?
Will the htaccess STILL prevent them from accessing the directory?

anyone have a way to make this check for secondary groups like
(membergroupids = '5' or membergroupids ='16')

the above seems to work ONLY if the user is in 5 or 16 as their only secondary group, ie, if users secondary groups are = 5,11,13 then it fails

Ok I am trying this hack on my site but I seem to be getting a Sql error. The password logon comes up on the screen but when you hit the ok button after putting your logins in I get this Sql error message.

Warning: mysql_connect(): Unknown MySQL Server Host 'u' (1) in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/vwar/includes/classes/class_db.php on line 95

-> Database Error: Link-ID == false, connect failed
-> MySQL Error:
-> MySQL Error Number: 0
-> Date: 25.05.2004 @ 20:56
-> Script: /vwar/war.php
-> Referer:

Any help would be appreciated.

Are we supposed to run any Sql querries installing this?

if (isset( $PHP_AUTH_USER ) && isset($PHP_AUTH_PW)) {
mysql_connect( $checkservername, $dbcheckusername, $dbcheckpassword )
or die ( 'Unable to connect to server.' );
mysql_select_db( $dbcheckbase )
or die ( 'Unable to select database.' );

if (isset( $PHP_AUTH_USER ) && isset($PHP_AUTH_PW)) {
mysql_connect( $checkservername, $dbcheckusername, $dbcheckpassword )
or die ( 'Unable to connect to server.' );
mysql_select_db( $dbcheckbase )
or die ( 'Unable to select database.' );

Whats the hostname of your mySQL server? Looks like it is currently set to "u" when you more likely want this to be "localhost".

[Oldfart]

My db is set to "localhost"

I have no idea why this happens. I must be doing something wrong.

I put my db settings in the authvb.php and put the require('./authvb.php');
in the page I want to secure but whenever I try and access that page I keep getting the same MySql error.

[Oldfart]

anyone have any ideas... I would like to get this to work on my site. ANy help would be appreciated.

I'll look into this for the next version (sorry a bit busy right now), but I haven't forgotten this.
