Website, DB, & Software Developers

I happen to have done something for a client a while back, and I just happened to come across your post here.

This guy wanted to have a television hanging inside of his office that would list out jobs that are in production. The page that he wanted displayed on this screen is part of his e-commerce admin section. All other pages in the store admin require login, but it would be a hassle using the TV on-screen keyboard to punch in the password every time.

What we ended up doing was providing for him a means of introducing IP numbers to a list. And then we coded that page so that ONLY if one is addressing the page from one of those IPs, would the page be displayed. That way he controls who has access to the list, but without dealing with entering the user/password normally required for access to the store admin.

Something similar could be rigged up for your menu page. Did you ever get this project done?
