Making signup landing page secret

oliphant · 2020-11-25T21:37:32.485Z

Hi, I’ve made a forum site where admins can add users by pointing them to a landing page. Everything is working just fine, but the slug for the signup page defaults to url.com/join/[forum name]. You could easily guess other signup pages and potentially access different forums, which I want to avoid.

Is there a way to have the joining page url randomly generated, so only the individual forum admins know it?

Thank you,
Oli

Generate a random string for each forum. Or have a combo url.com/join/[forum name]+random. Store it on the forum data.

Then on the page search for the right forum using the page path?

Hi Nigel, thank you, that’s super helpful. Installed a random number generator, implemented the first part, but I’m not sure I follow “search for the right forum using the page path” - would you mind expanding on that a bit?
