But, I am curious.  You have the DaDa mail .htaccess files protecting wordpress pages as well?  So someone goes to a page in wordpress, they are prompted for the DaDa password, and then allowed to view it? If that is the case, you may have already worked out a viable skeleton for a wordpress plugin.

Untitled Document No, because that is where the second install comes in. Wordpress seriously hates it when you mess with the permalink structure, and I couldn't find a way to protect an actual WP page with the Dada plugin. It just throws a 404 error. The only way I could get around it (at my skill level and budget - which was zero - under the time constraints I had, anyway) was to use 2 installs. I put the first install in the site root. The second install is in a subdirectory of the main site. The subdirectory is the one that is protected by the .htpassword file created by Dada, which is running on the same domain. 

To load the second install without it looking like a separate site, I customized a template for the first install with an iframe that feeds the home page of the second install into the main content area (but uses the sidebars and header of the first install so that the menus and widgets appear the same in the protected area). I assigned that template to a page in the main install. When someone clicks over to that page, the page loads up to the iframe content, where the Dada login pops up. If they don't login, they are redirected to a page that tells them how to register for a profile or recover their password. If they do login, the home page of the second install loads in the iframe. 

Like I said - it's not very elegant but it works. I would love to find a way to do it with just one install, but it's beyond my skill level.
Warm regards,

Mary Ann
