Dear All,

Probalby a simple answer, but I could not find a way, explanation how to remove / disable the memberlist. What would I have to do if I don't want that people except Admin can access / view this list?

Thanks for your input.

OK.

Add the code above to the page that you only want the Admins to be able to access anywhere below the line

<!--#include file="common.asp"-->

You mentioned not wanting the member listings viewable so this would be members.asp.

I'll break it down for you;
The If clause checks if the logged in user is an Admin or not (this is determined from pages linked to via the common.asp hence putting the code after that include).

If the logged in user is not and Admin, the server will close access to the database and redirectr the user to the page specified (in this case default.asp which is the main forum page).

If the logged in user is an Admin, the page will continue to load.

Most appreciated.

Is my understanding correct, that the button/link "Memberlist" on top of the page remains, but that it will only redirect if user are not logged-in as Admin back to the default.asp?

If so, maybe that's not so elegant - Wouldn't it possible to also remove the icon and link all together and provide Admin's with the URL to the memberlist (or to view it in the Admin section actually).

So, maybe it would be easier to remove the memberlist icon / memberlist text on top of the page as well?

Yup, you can do the the same thing to that link.

Add

<% If blnAdmin = True Then %>

before the link, and

<% End If %>

after the link, then it will only appear for admins.
