Can web login automaticaly redirect to layout & record

[ibiubu]

Here is one I dont quite know how to handle. Serving up a database on the web with v5.5. Works fine. database comes right up. I want to make a little change. I want to add a layout as the default with a spot for a "Login" name with a submit button. If the login name matches a corresponding field from another layout I then want it to proceed to that layout and to JUST that particulat record.

My thinking is then I can have clients log in and it would be a way that they go to the specific record JUST for them in my client layout, and then they dont have access or see any other clients records.

Is this possible?

Larry - Again, I don't really know what is possible using instant web publishing. With curstom web publishing the technique that you describe is commonly used as a form of password protection. A client enters a code and hits submit. The submit button performs a "-find" action and returns a result page only if an exact match exists between the code and a matching field in their data record.

For future posts, Larry, specify which type of web publishing you are using.

Good luck

Do startup scripts work with Instant Web Publishing?

Sorry, the form I am using is instant web publishing. Sounds like I may have to use custom. Just wanted to try to keep it simple and use instant.

Good question...I was wondering about start-up scripts and instant publishing myself.

Yes, start-up scripts do seem to work, although I dont know if there is a list of which ones do and dont work. The one I tried that worked was the Toggle Status Area (hide)
