Secure Links is a way to have as many users and links as you want, with each user having their own security level. Here is a screen shot of the user edit page. Each custom page is given a security level. Here is a screen shot of part of the menu editor. When a user tries to go to a page their security level is compared to the security level of the page. If they have a higher security level the page loads. If they don't have the correct security they get a message that they are not authorized to view the page. The only links that the user sees is ones that are the correct security level for them. In the user editor image above the users security level is 9. So only links with a security level of 0 or less would show for that user. A security level of 10 would allow the user to see every link. Links can be nested as deep as you want. You can also set the type of link that you want to use. In the images above the option is set to link. In the image below the option is set to form. In this image the option is set to image. Each link can be a different image file. You can have images for every page or just certain ones. It's very easy to add Secure Links to your own custom pages. Put the following at the top of an asp page. <!-- #include file="/includes/style.asp"--> <!-- #include file="/includes/misc_functions.asp" --> <!-- #include file="/includes/header.asp" --> <!-- #include file="/includes/menu_functions.asp" --> and the following in your page where you want the links to be. <%=menurow("NameOfPage.asp")%> It will automatically find all the parent links for the page and display as many rows of links as you have setup. Then add your page using the menu items editor, set the security level and your page is now secure and will show in the links. Click Installation Instructions to continue.
