want user to register, which sets a cookie (ie: "emailaddress") that lasts a whole year. this cookie will be compared to db for future authentications. Using CC v2.0.5, php, mysql. I don't want to use the sessions, don't want folks having to login each time. This is not a security thing, just a registration thing. Only 1 page that looks up the cookie and compares it to the db, then if cookie present, lets the visitor into the page, thats it!
I know somebody is willing to give it up! (please)

Robert,
You can set cookie on the header page
global $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS;
if (!isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["cookie_name"]))
setcookie("cookie_name", $value, $time_expire);
This let you assign cookie for users who does not have the one. To allow or forbid users to access the given page check_security() function is used. You have to overwrite it in order to check the cookie and not the session value.

Woa!
After 24 real hours of learning how to set, read, destroy cookies, etc...You have given me what I've been looking for...You are SUPER!!
I set security lvl 1 on my "requires registration" page, I have the cc login page set to the "registration" page with it's action page being the "real login" page(which does the setcookie code, which I placed in the "on login event"), the "real login" page's action is the "requires registration" page(which is now user cookie authenticated).
This was my way of 1-time registration for users(vs. sessions). The cookie expiration is for 1 year, if the user deletes cookies, they can go to the "real login" page to create a new cookie, therefore not having to register again (I use email address and zip code as the "username" and "password" - very simple to remember!). Anyways, I think you saved me a whole lotta head hair!
Thanks again,
Robert

Using CC v2.0.5, php, mysql: I am trying to do the check_security() based on the value of a grid form field. Just to give an idea, this does not work, but sorta esplains what I am trying to acomplish:
I have a Grid Form, Before Show:
///
if ($fld_this_particular_record_requires_registration_to_view == 1)
check_security();
else
$custom_label="grid form will show it's results here if above is not= 1";
///
Thanks to whoever can lend a hand!
