CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi, I'm trying to solve a problem involving hashes. I made a form that let's you put in your email address and then it emails you a profile edit link, so our contacts can edit their own information (described in detail here http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,20222.msg87559.html).

But now when I click on one of these links (that links to something like /civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&gid=14&id=407354&87609d09f7e216ff206e08ad153b4472_1315342041_24), it redirects me to / and displays the error message "You do not have permission to edit this contact record. Contact the site administrator if you need assistance." When I'm logged in, however, it just works fine.

In Drupal if I edit permissions so that anonymous users have access to "CiviCRM: edit all contacts" then anonymous users can fill out the profile. But this seems like a very dangerous permission to keep set. Is there any way around this? Or is this not actually all that dangerous?

I had already let anonymous users create/edit profiles so I was confused why this wasn't working. But it was totally the URL. When I added cs= before the hash it fixed the problem! Thank you Lobo!

Now I'm curious how come it worked at all without the cs= when you're logged in. Ah well.
