Ok, I will.. Making games takes many years to learn.. There is a lot of programming involved in it. THere is ActionScript, and then you need to know database languages, And Server Side Languages. You will need something like Flash to develop the games in.. Or director.. Director has it's own language too that you'd have to learn. I'd say you could do this if you studied for about 2-3 years, or if you went to school for it. This isn't something that can be told to you on how to do it. Also, You have the information up above on how to do everything your looking for. Give a man a fish, and he will be fed for a day, but Teach him to fish and he will be fed for life... We have showed you what you need, now it's your turn to try and apply it. If you get stuck along the way post your code and ask for help. That way you will learn from it.

What's the problem? You haven't asked a question yet... Show us your code and tell us what your problem is.

My problem is I have to different types of user accounts. But I want them to be able to go to the contacts page but be able to get back to the logined user pages? (go to my website and create an account and check this out if you can't understand me!)I think I need a redirection script!

hrmm.. I created a test account... User: test Pass: test and still I don't understand what the problem is... You need to create an entire user's area... which you haven't done. That will make it where you can go to the contacts page and everything... Another thing you can do is to make your links dependant on the account type.... FE-

Code:

If recordSet("user") = "1" Then
Response.Write("<a href='index.asp'>")
Response.Write("Home")
Response.Write("</a>")
Else If recordSet ("User") = "2" Then
Response.Write("<a href='index2.asp'>")
Response.Write("Admin Section")
Response.Write("</a>")
End If
End IF

That way your links can take you to where you are allowed to go depending on your acount type... Also you can add an " If recordSet("User") = "" Then " so that people who are not logged in will have a navigational menu. I think this will fix all of your linking problems. This is the problem that I saw with your navigation and this is a way to fix it. Hope that helps.

OK.I'm back ! I tried that script but it creates a link that the user has to click on I want the user to click home on the navigation menu then be redirected to the right page can I do that?

courtjester · August 11th, 2004, 03:56 PM

dude..

Code:

If RecordSet("User") = "1" Then
Response.Write("<a href='index.htm'>")
Response.Write("Home")
Response.Write("</a>")
Else If RecordSet("User") = "2" Then
Response.Write("<a href='indexBlah.htm'>")
Response.Write("Home")
Response.Write("</a>")
Else
Response.Write("<a href='indexBlah2.htm'>")
Response.Write("Home")
Response.Write("</a>")
End If
End If

That's what I meant to do with the above code... There is no need to redirect. This code should replace ALL your navigation, not be used as a special page.
