User Restrictions Question
|
Can't Post

I can't get my head around how I'm to do this... Need 2 sign-up pages: A allows certain access, B allows all access, but only to members from a DIFFERENT website. http_referer doesn't work in IE and there isn't a member number/name I can use to validate. Is it possible to read the cookie from a different website and make sure it's present for people entering the sign-up from the members area of the other website? Does anybody have a good way to validate those entering at the member sign-up page are coming from the right website? I think what we worry about is that members will share the sign-up link with friends, who would then get all access meant only for members. You want people to be honest - but they won't be. I saw some Javascript work-arounds to the http_referer issue in IE - do they work? How do I implement them in a Perl script if the member link is, say, www.membersonly.com/should-be-from-here.html Thanks...
