If you are making simple projects with custom code for clients in php then you may want to password protect that page from unwanted access. Please be aware that this isn’t super secure but its enough to stop the mainstay of data predators.

1 file, paste in your code in the area provided and set the password in the variables provided. Simples.

<?php

$username = "admin";
$password = "password";

//get a session
session_start();
//login
$login=false;
if ($_POST['txtUsername'] != $username || $_POST['txtPassword'] != $password)
{
$login=false; //unset($_SESSION['username']);
} else {
$login=true; $_SESSION['username']=$username;
}
//log out
if (isset($_GET['logout'])) { unset($_SESSION['username']); $login=false;}
//stay logged in
if (isset($_SESSION['username'])){ $login=true; }

?>

Oe thing which may help pele is that you’ll need to use a recent version of the wordpress software. I installed 3.1 after the version I had refused to authenticate with the latest version of the iOS app from the apple app store.

I’ve never really played on an iPad until yesterday when I picked this one up. What a handy gadget. I already added my RSS and my favourite websites and I can see my MacBook getting a lot less love. I can see dead space and pants versus zombies getting a lot more love.

No plugins or hacks are necessary. Just find your product.tpl (located in your current template folder), find where you’d like the video (I like just after the description works well) and paste this code:

{if $product->supplier_reference}
<iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="570" height="520" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/{$product->supplier_reference}" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe>
{/if}

supplier_reference? well, what we did was reused a field that we never use. If you don’t use it either, then help yourself to a free video plugin.

In the supplier reference in your product, paste the youtube video code, found in the url like this one: EK2tWVj6lXw from this video:
