Great. Unpublish nodes, generate a random, store (random, nid) pairs and send
peek/<random>
URLs.
function peek_menu($may_cache) {
if ($may_cache) {
$items[] = array('path' => 'peek', 'access' => TRUE, 'type' => MENU_CALLBACK);
}
return $items;
}
function peek_view($random) {
$nid = db_result(db_query("SELECT nid FROM {peek} WHERE random = '%s'", $random));
if ($nid && ($node = node_load($nid))) {
return node_show($node);
}
drupal_not_found();
}
The above works because we bypass node_access thus peek_view can view unpublished nodes but your users who are not node admins can't.
Why are you generating users, I can't readily understand.
