Gate Page / Login using one value

Hi,

I have a small project I am working on and was wondering if I can get some advice.
The structure is a follows:
ParentSite (http://drupalsite)
child1 (http://drupalsite/child1)
child2 (http://drupalsite/child2)
child3 (http://drupalsite/child3)

All the parent site has is one page with a textbox asking the user to enter a value (PIN)
based on the pin they should be redirects to one of the child sites. no access to child sites unless the pin was entered.

i am new to Drupal any advice is appreciated.

thanks!!!

 

Maybe you can use module Rules, but it will be hard to config it for this things.

Other way, if you have programmer skills - you can create table, which associate PINs with categories (taxonomy). Table can contain common or individual PINs. User submit PIN, take cookies and redirected to category. If he haven't cookie - permission denied. There is no needed registration for this way, and you can control access to your pages.

 

Thank you for the advice ... that was my original idea - but thought i'd ask if Drupal has a module for this ..

cheers

 

Have you taken a look at the webform module? You might be able to achieve that with it. I've never tried, but I believe it can do redirection based upon user-input.

 

I ended up creating a custom template file with a form which creates a cookie and redirects the user based on the input ...
