Another far out idea. I have a contest script I will be using soon and I am trying to decide how to launch it. The contest is intended only for my forum members and I would love to be able to run it behind the user login... say a custom page or custom island that is only accessible to members that are logged in.

Is this possible?

Can you run a script within a custom island? Can you create a custom page? The script does not necessarily need to set up within the forum directory as it does not use the forum database. Maybe using an iframe to display the contest in a custom island?

Thoughts, ideas or suggestions?

I know... I come up with some crazy stuff.

Well I tinkered with this and went with a custom island and made it a post island. I set my contest up in it's own directory and called the php file in an iframe. It works just dandy!
