Try it.

I assumed 300 was the Id where the redirect was supposed to come from, so I added <> 300 instead of = 300 to redirect to no.html if the id wasn't 300.

I'm a bit confused now :)

Greets & sleep well for now (2:57 AM local time).

Sorry ruirib, it did not work. AnonJr is correct in what I am trying to do.

I think we've all been a little confused on this one...

- but we'll get it worked out.

A small correction to AnonJr's contribution:


<%
If Request.QueryString("TOPIC_ID") = "300" And Instr(Request.ServerVariables("http_Referer"),"mangionemagic.com/forum/topic.asp")<1 Then
Response.Redirect "no.htm"
End If
%>

I don't see why this should fail.

ILLHILL, sorry, my mistake, I was the one who got it wrong.

I'm starting to feel like a heel, but that script doesn't work either.

It allows me to come from any topic to my target page, not just Topic_ID 300.

The way I am testing this is I am putting the link in another topic other than 300. In theory, the target page should see it is not from topic 300 and should redirect me to the no.html but it doesn't. It just lets me right in.

I keep mixing '=' and '<>'. Try replacing the '=' by '<>'.

It doesn't matter if you use = or <> since the topic ID isn't getting passed to the page that is running the script. You will either need to pass your own token in the link on the topic page or do like my earlier suggestion with the cookie.

Yeah, if the topic_id isn't being sent to the page, it doesn't make a difference.

Using <> or = does not work.

What is the best way to go about protecting the target page? AnonJr, your idea sounds good, but I have no idea how to do that.

I want to prevent anyone from sending the link to someone else. If they tried to get to it in any other way other than the forum I want to block it.

What Anon meant was that your redirecting link is not passing the topic_id. You can change it so that it does... or try Anon's solution. A topic_id solution requires you to use '<>'.

I have no idea how to do that. I am not asp literate (obviously). I thank you for your continued patience and help. I've tried using the <> and the = but neither of them prevent access from any other topic.asp page. It treats them all the same as if the ID didn't matter. I don't know how to get the page to recognize the topic id.

Seems like it's topic.asp that you need to change...

Would the following work?

What if I took a topic.asp page and renamed it to something else such as membersonly.asp. I would then strip out everything except that which pertained to the login check. Then I would insert the special content I want. Would that work? If so, what exactly would I need to keep that checks for log in and member status?

I'm thinking this would take them right to the membersonly.asp page if they were already logged in. If they weren't logged in, it would take them to the log in page and then take them to the membersonly.asp page.

If I'm correct, you have a link to the special page in topic.asp, right? What's the code for that link?

It is just a simple link as you would make within a post using forum code.
