I'm in the process of changing my board to be viewable to registered members only. It's a fishing site. Fishermen like to show off their catch to friends and family members. These people would never join the site, they'd only be interested in looking at what their friend or family member posted.
I'm looking for a way to allow people to share threads with friends and family via email, although the board will be closed to members-only.
I'm thinking of some kind of randomly generated log-in and password in the email link that automatically lets the user view the page (without going through the whole log-in process). Then, after some time, the link expires.
Another method could be some kind of export to an html page, generate a link, then email to the person. This page would eventually expire, too.
I've never installed or created a hack, so I'm looking for some help and will pay $.
Anyone want to attempt this?
Please let me know.
Thanks
