Hi
I have a client interested in a simple cms - Used cmsms twice now - Lots of improvements I see since my last visit. Well done.
Client is going for one of those hosters who offer password protected directories. How would cmcms work as it runs out of the same directory..does it not?
eg can you have
http://www.domain.com.au/passworddirect ... page=sound
and still have
www.domain.com.au/index.php?page=all other pages
Thx
Chris

Not really... however, you might have some luck with the ProtectedPages module in the wiki.

You could always place the directories under password protection via the web server, using Basic Authentication. You can put .htaccess files into the protected directories.
Or maybe I don't understand the question.

Sounds like some pages should be protected and others not. Even if index.php was copied to multiple places, there would be no way to force which index shows which page.

Not with index.php though, but what about Clean URLs?

Thx for all the replies. I will check out Protected pages in WIKI.
CMS can only run out of one directory then?
htacess would be the normal simple option if some pages were in a diff directory of course.
Client will have some downloads he only wants some people to get to.
How does one do clean urls with CMS?
Thanks
Chris
