Login Page

[Guest]

I have built a simple login system, (as per Newlands Tours) however, when the user is passed to the details page, it returns all results, what do i need to do, use a form variable or a session variable to restrict the data to just that users??

thanks

If you have built your login system using the Server Behaviours built into
Dreamweaver - and if your data contains a users ID to identify that record
to that user, then you can use a session variable (once you create it) when
the user logs in to filter your details page by.

I have a simple tutorial that details how to add an extra Session variable
to the login code, such as the UserID, here:
http://robgt.com/tutorials/loginsessions.asp

The example uses VBScript, but the same principle should apply to any
scripting language.

Sorry... I guess that part needs some clarification?
You would filter the recordset on your details page using the session
variable to identify that users record.

If you are unsure of how to use parameters in your recordsets, please refer
to the help file as it explains it in there.
