Non-Published site for client to approve

Posted on 21/09/2010 16:47:09

Hi DW's

The graphic designers want to send a page to a client, so that they can approve the layout.
But the page must be non-published.

I have tried to send a page where the page is published but all the checkboxes with "menu", "include in search" and so on is off. But then Google will find it eventually.

is there another option, perhaps with a special tag in the URL ? so I can send a non-published page to a client, who is not logged in. ?

/thanks
Peter

Well yes and no...

There is support for a syntax like this:

http://head.local.dynamicweb.dk/Default.aspx?ID=1&chk={secretKey}

But there is no where in the administration you can get hold of the secretKey whereas it is a secret. The minut you use that url in the browser, the google toolbar or GA script will send the URL to google and it will index it... Bad.

Best bet would be to add a simple password to the page (set it up on the pages properties).

By code you can calculate the link like this:

"Default.aspx?ID=" & PageID & "&chk=" & Base.MD5HashToString(

"somesecret" & PageID)
