I am a photographer and i designed my own website. Is there a way i can make a login form for my clients to see their photos without anyone else to see their photos.
I’m designing a website for a photographer right now too. Will be glad to
see any info about this as well.

It depends on how secure you want it to be. If you’re just trying to keep out casual snoopers, and there’s no serious problem if someone gets in anyway, then you can use the Password Protected URL Action: http://www.actionsforge.com/projects/view/45-password-protected-url
If your security needs are higher, but you still want a login page (not just the ugly browser login field) then you will need to investigate a PHP or other server-side language system. There are tons of these at Hotscripts.com
Thank you Waltd. I added the action when i link it to my gallery.html i do not see the images. I followed the usage tutorial and that happens. I will really be thankful if anyone can help
Make sure that you uploaded your site using Freeway, because if you’re not seeing images, that’s entirely separate from the way that this Action works. If you created a new folder to “secure” with the Action, then Freeway will likely have rewritten all of the image tags to point to a new (different) Resources folder inside that “secure” folder. Unless you used Freeway to do the upload, you won’t have the images in the same spot that the HTML is looking for them.
