I’m not sure that’s what exactly you’d call it but I can’t figure out how I’d stop content from being viewed on my website at http://iamsteve.me/portfolio/view

Ideally that would go to a 404 page or have a way for me to control what’s displayed there. How can I solve this, no amount of googling has brought me on to something that works.

Thanks in advance!

Edit:

I think it’s down to strict URL’s not being enabled, but no matter how many times I try enabling them it won’t set. If this is what stops it, what would be preventing that from being on?

You can use require_entry=“yes” parameter to your channel entries tag and then add this in the tag:

{if no_results} {redirect="404"} {/if}

More info: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/channel/channel_entries.html/#require-entry-yes

EDIT: ignore this as I posted and looked over my post I noticed there was curly quotes in the require_entry parameter so that’s obviously not going to work. It’s worked so thank you very much!

That doesn’t appear to work. I think it worked in one case to do with a category url: http://iamsteve.me/blog/show/category this redirects it to the error page. Maybe I’m doing something wrong? Here’s my portfolio/view template.

{embed="/include/header" entry_title="{exp:channel:entries channel="portfolio" status="Latest|open|draft"}{title}{/exp:channel:entries}"}

 {exp:channel:entries channel="portfolio" require_entry=“yes" status="Latest|open|draft" disable="categories|member_data|pagination|trackbacks"}
 {if no_results} {redirect="error"} {/if}
  <header class="page_title">
   <h1>{title}</h1>
   <h2>{brief_summary}</h2>
<p>  </header><br />
  <br />
  <section role="region" id="entry"><br />
   {full_image}<br />
   {item_description}{if live_url}<a href="http://{live_url}" title="View the live version of {title}">Live version</a>{/if}<br />
  </section><br />
 {/exp:channel:entries}<br />
 {portfolio_nav}</p>

<p>{embed="/include/footer"}
