Restricted Area, How-To?

Submitted by ikhnaton2 on Wed, 08/02/2006 - 14:31.


Hello Drupal users and manalaa.net registers,

I would like to make a restricted area on my site, i.e. posts in this area can be viewed or edited only with registered users who belong to specific role.

1. Make a flexinode for their type of content
2. I created a role for those team members and configure the access control to be able to create new content of this type.
3. Create taxonomy structure and assign it for this flexinode

I think I just need a final step to make this area restricted, could u help?

Peace,

Thanks Alaa, it works with me. I need to create a new node type to customize a special taxonomy for it.

ok there is a module called simple access, it works on a per node basis (sorry the per taxonomy term module requires patching of core files).

basically you create an access rule, like say can only be viewed by this or that role, and when you create a node you'll find a checkbox, you leave it unchecked and everyone can read, you check it and only certain people can.

this module caused funky problems with one website, but works flawlessly with another, no idea what happened to the b0rked website, use and give feedback.

as a practical thing, you should always give the restricted nodes a certain taxonomy term just so that it is easy to see them all listed in one place.

also you don't really have to create a new node type (unless you need it for other reasons), this module works with all nodes.

Newer versions of Taxonomy Access Control don't require core patches.
