Use subscriber ID as filter in results pages?

[glmcps295424]

Creating site where paying subscribers will have access to files filtered by an ID. Do I use the subscribers ID or a session variable?

Subscriber login goes to it's successful redirect page. This page has it's own menu that links to all files that subscriber needs access to.


How do I create a variable to use as a filter in the results pages based on whom is logged in?

Thanks for your time.

Use SecurityAssist to do the login. It will allow you to store a session variable at login that is the subscribers ID and then you can use that to filter recordsets to create the user experience you are trying to accomplish.

Ray,

I started a new site . Used Site Assist Pro, Security Assist, Data assist.

Login works and redirects correctly

in the login page action is set to POST. there's a SA Authenticate User server behavior,

No recordset in login.

The session variable is not getting set.

Suggestion?

How do you know it isn't set? What session variable?

Is it possible you just don't have a session_start() on the page where you are trying to use it?
