Staff / Members' section on website, with a sign-in mechanism

[Wolksby]

Hi,

I'm currently running Version 15 2.3, so no doubt can upgrade to the latest version, which I've just seen on visiting the site.

My question is this: I have seen a feature on many other websites, so am confident that it is also available, in some form or another, on WYSIWYG.

I would like to include a small section on my current site, where I could upload documents, and other information, and which my students would be able to read, download, and access, but where they would only be able to do this by way of a log-in, where I would provide them with the necessary sign-in details. I've seen this on major websites, where they have a 'staff only' section, and on small musical groups where their performers can access information about rehearsals, concerts, etc - and which would not be of interest to a member of the public merely visiting that website to look around.

Any help / suggestion would be gratefully received, as ever!

Thanks!

You can implement a protected area with the 'Login tools':

Many thanks!

Sorry to be a pain, but in the links you kindly gave me:

<Demo Template
A fully functional example template is included in the 'Demo' category of the standard Templates.
This template demonstrates how to use the Login tools of WYSIWYG Web Builder.

Please first take your time to study the demo template before including the login tools in your own project.
The most common reason for the login tools not to work on a website is due to configuration mistakes of the user!

To open the demo template:
1. Select Menu->New Website from Template
2. Select the 'Demo' category
3. Click 'Login' and the press the OK button.
4. Save the newly generated project to a folder of your choice.>

I'm not quite sure about No. 1 above. Where exactly do I select 'Menu' from, so as to be able to access the video and get started? Is it available somewhere once I've opened WYSIWYG on my PC, and have my current site loaded in front of me? Or is it somewhere on the WYSIWYG website?

Many thanks!
