Larry,
I have a site that does this, but unfortunately it is
subscription-only and I can't let someone in to see the style because of the
content. It is a netguide of sorts with a fairly healthy price. Here's
what we do.
A user has to enroll for the class to go beyond certain "public"
areas. (You can see that much at http://cibp.com/ if you are interested.)
Once they have subscribed, they are given a password and username. Password
/ username combinations enable users to view the private pages which are
protected by .htaccess. (If you are unfamiliar with server authenitication,
see http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/docs-1.5/tutorials/user.html) The users can
substantially customize their program through a Student Profile and the web
pages always point to their profile and any supporting materials because the
pages are mostly generated by CGI and they parse REMOTE_USER. For example,
the student's profile is refered to as:
$username = $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'};
$userprof = $username.html
That sort of thing.
We use htaccess mostly to keep material private, but you could also
easily use it just for personalization. If you contact me, I'll get a
forms-based system to add users to .htpasswd. You can set things up so that
users add themselves which not only gives them access but also generates
arbitrarily complex files about them. After that, they can see whatever you
want them to see.
Let me know if you'd like some help along these lines.
Cheers,
Jeff
