Assuming that you have a controller called contents (pages is already taken by Cake) and a view action that lets you view a given page, you could try something like this:
http://www.testsite.com/contents/view/1/secretid/ In your controller, you could have this: function edit($id=null, $secretid=null) Now when someone goes to a page, you check first for the id to make sure the id exists (standard procedure). If the id exists, read that record from the database. Now check that record's secretid against $secretid from the url. If they don't match, or if none was supplied (ie. it gets assigned to null if they don't put one in the url), render a view page. If they do match, show an edit page (you could do this through switching, or you could redirect to an edit page). I hope that helps! hydra12 On Oct 15, 5:23 am, Cody Sortore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Okay, with the particular site I'm building I did a poll and received > 80% feedback to make the site without a user log in system.
