Component body

Use this module to disable access to nodes through the "normal" URL such as node/123, so access is only though the URL alias which the node content creator sets. In combination with the "pathauto" module you can use this module to give nodes secret URLs that are only known to selected users that you share the URL with, by giving content types a default path pattern such as [random:hash:md5].

Note that you also have to make sure your views do not list the node content, if the content is linked to from your pages a secret URL won' be much use!

This module only does enables private URLs for chosen content types, not individual nodes. You could use this module by creating a content type such as "private blog post" and selecting this as a private content type in this module's settings page. If this module interests people and people want extra features, such as per node private URLs, please let me know.
