I'm going insane with variations on loggin in - is it really this complicated or is it just me? Sorry this is a long one. Here's the situation. It shouldn't be this complicated, but it's becoming a nightmare. Normally public users just browse the site. There is no need for them to log into anything. Normally content Authors and Reviewers use the WebTop to enter and edit content mostly through Workflow Templates/PLPs. One step of the PLP is a preview page which shows them exactly what the page will look like when it's live. Every step of the PLP shows their userID. There are also some pages that use containers that an Admin person would have to edit through Design Mode, either through the WebTop or just by using DesignMode=1. The files that the public are browsing are in the top level directory. The start up files for the PLPs are in an Admin subdirectory one level down. Both top-level and Admin each have an Application.cfm Normally the top-level Application.cfm would really have no need for any type of security except when the admin person is going into DesignMode. I've tried every variation of security tag available to get things to work the way I need it to. I really don't understand what they all do even after reading every scap of info I could get my hands on. I've tried every combination of using the example Apps. Every now and then I can get everything working close to the way it should be and then I close and open my browser and all of a sudden my homepage will display the login page. Or I get rid of that and when I enter DesignMode I either get no page controls or when I enter DesignMode and then click on a link I'm thrown out of Design Mode. And then in the Webtop if I select Display Mode the new window opens and kills the CFAuth cookie so I get logged out on my next WebTop selection. Or I select DesignMode from the WebTop and again get no page controls, or again can't stay in DesignMode when I click a link on the opened page. I know this sounds convoluted, but it really shouldn't be this hard. As it stands right now I've had to basically get rid of all my security just so people can surf the site, and the Admin person can go into DesignMode one page at a time. This is no good. Does anyone have any suggestions, ideas, examples - anything to point me in the right directions.
