PHPRunner General questions

I'm developing a site for a writer & using PHPRunner to database her hundreds of articles. I have it set up with password protection and the screens all work great, however, what I need is:
A public area that doesn't call for a password with a list page which I can configure for public viewing (no add button, etc.) but still keep the one I have in a password protected directory. Also, I need to be able a view.php page that isn't password protected.
AND I still need password protection on everything else.
So basically, a password protected area for the writer to add/edit/delete articles and a public non-password protected area to list and view them.
I can't see how to have part of the project password protected and part not. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi,
use guest account for this purpose.

To turn on guest account proceed to the Security tab and check off corresponding checkbox on the Advanced security settings dialog.

Sorry, was away for a bit.
Does this mean that the general public will still have to log in? Is it possible to set up PHPRunner so that only the administrator has to log in at all? I need to set it up so that:

  • general public users can go directly to a scaled down list page, without any login at all & be able to view the articles
  • my client needs to log in to access a separate list page, with add/edit/delete available to her only
    Can this be done?

Hi,
yes, this task can be accomplished using guest account.

General public users (guests) can go directly to a scaled down list page without any login page.

Jane - thank you so much. I think I have it, just needed a point in the right direction. This is so foreign to me it's easy to be intimidated but as I try more and more and see how robust PHPRunner really is I'm gaining confidence <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=30236&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
