How can i lock up mysite?

I posted in the content area looking for a programmer/freelancer, but now i want to see if i could do it myself!

Okay here is the task at hand. i own the same site as www.fishyspace.com what i want to do is i want to make all media Non viewable to non registered users. so basically lets say they click to view a video they will be prompted to register and not allowed to view it! it should be rather simple since the cms allready has a register part. i just need to know how or who to contact to do this! any insight at all is aperciated!

 

Assuming you have some sort of media.php script it's pretty simple.

Somewhere close to the top of said script put in something like:

<?php
if !($_SESSION['registered']) {
  exit;
}
?>

PHP:

What you do in the IF statement is up to you. This is how I do things.

 

You can use HTTP authorization. I think that is the best and simpliest solution for you.

 

There must be some Session variable or Cookie that shows that a user is logged in.

What you need to do is check if that variable exists, and if it does show them the video. If it doesn't, display a "log in or sign up" page.
