Password Protect?

[Linkin-Dreamer]

I want to know if someone could make me a password protect BBCode to protect our additional pages.

I don't mean the adopt.php page or such xD Our site is heavily quest-based, and they'd like it so you can collect passwords to unlock the other pages.

This box would come up...
And when the correct password is entered, this happens

I have no idea where to even begin with this. Tables and such.

I was thinking, having more columns on out adopts_users tables to save passwords, or maybe cookies.... you can see the complexity of what I'm asking already, can't you?

I made these two images to show how it would work on our pages.

One possibility

Another possibility

umm password-protected page/subpage is not a problem, but why bbcode?

Exactly my thought...

It was what I thought was easier xD

If you can tell me how else, I'm happy to comprimise. It's just what my friends told me to ask.

Well a simple way to do this is to do this is to create a new column in table prefix.content called 'password', and add an if...else statement to page.php to check whether the password exists. If yes, the script will ask users to enter a password and then check if the password matches with the very page from your database. Otherwise the actual page will show normally without requiring users to input password.

Wait... I'm a little confused.

So first is to add a column to adopts_content called password.. I got that bit.

Add an if-else statement.

I'm afraid I don't know PHP, so I have no idea how to even tackle the if-else statement.

I feel really cheeky asking, but could someone write the code for me? I don't know how to PHP ;-;

This may work for you but I not sure if it is even compatible.

Thanks, Infernal, but I don't think this is compatible, and I have no idea where to start to make it compatible.

Thanks anyway.

I'm the one who asked about the password thing.

It's just 'cause we'd like to have these four planets, and you can't progress onto the next planet without a password?
