How to do a display in asp

Nov 05, 2006 10:27 AM|deemurphy|LINK

I have the following code:

<% if lcase(strPage) = "default" or lcase(strPage) = "contactus" then %>

   <% if Session("MemberLogin") = False then

   'response.write session("MemberLogin")
   'response.end%>

I want one thing to show if the page is the default page and for it not to show if it is the they are in the member login.

Can some one tell me how to do this?

I am using classis asp. I need to display a graphic with a link which will take the user to another asp page.

Thanks

Dee

If you are using ASP, then your code can look roughly like this:

<% if isMember then %>
Display member only content
<% else %>
Display public content
<% end if %>

The isMember variable is your custom variable that starts as False, and is set to True only if the user is determined to be authenticated by your code. This can be based on a session variable that is set when the user logs in, or if you determine the presence of an encrypted cookie that is issued by your login page to authenticated users. However, please be sure to follow secure practices when implementing your authentication system / using session state to store authentication information.

Check out this article for more information on session state and security concerns you need to be aware of (its about ASP.NET, but the same basic concerns apply):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/09/SessionState/default.aspx

This is what I am trying to display and I have two of them that I only want to display if you are not a member:

Right now it is appearing on both pages of the contact us area. I think a display might show the href code as well.

Thank you

Is sounds like some of your vars are not getting set correctly. Can you show all of your code?

These need to display if you are not login to the membership.

I understood that.

Why do you have this line of code?
<% if lcase(strPage) = "default" or lcase(strPage) = "contactus" then %>

strPage never gets a value so none of that code in the If block ever runs.

Tere is difference verbage on the contact us page when you are not login as a member and you want them to become members.

I did not write all of the orginal code and was asked to fix this and I can't seem to figure out how.

We understand the text on the page is different depending on whether they are logged in or not. The problem is that the variable that determines what content is displayed doesn't get set in your code. That means the variable won't match the cirteria, so none of the content in that section will get displayed.

Have you Binged a solution before posting?

Would it help if I could point you to the web site which is live and give you a login.

No - it would better help if you explained the logic needed. It looks like the code on that page is incomplete - we could probably fix it if we understod what it needs to do.
