What would all of you suggest for a script or combination of scripts one might use if they wanted to:<br />-- Restrict the use of a database to "members only" but still have a site where visitors can register for general material (postings on a Joomla site, for example).<br /><br />Several of the databases which are currently created are in Access or Paradox. What is the level of skill needed to convert these to a MySQL database? Suggestions on where to start?<br /><br />I have some additional questions, but this is my starting point--let me know if I need to post more info--<!--content-->
Hello Lindsay,<br /><br />With regard to restricting users, thats a bit difficult, but it would be along the lines of a "group". I don't think Joomla 1.0.8 supports more then three groups, but if you have a search/ask over at joomla.com I am sure someone will be able to point you in the directio.<br /><br />With regards to access/paradox -> mysql, it all depends on which versions to which versions, and how the content of these will be accessed etc. Someone with better database skills can no doubt provide a better answer here.<br /><br />JimE<!--content-->
