Hey all, I'm about to launch into yet another custom module build, and I wanted to see if I'm missing the obvious and this thing already exists (or has been somewhat built). The use case is to allow access to nodes (node_access) based on their placement within a drupal menu tree. Seems obvious, but keyword searching through available modules didn't turn up anything that seemed to match. I did locate the "Menu Subtree" module which seems to provide some complimentary functionality in terms of restricting the areas of a menu tree into which new nodes can be placed: http://drupal.org/project/menu_stp For access, it points to fago's menu_per_role module, but this is about access to menu links, not node permissions. In the other node-access modules, I didn't find one that seeks to allow/deny access based on menu position. So that's what I'll begin working on. Implementation seems fairly straightforward based on hook_node_access_records() and hook_node_grants(). Assuming I'm right, the next fun thing would be looking at integrating this with menutrails.module so it can work for broader classes of nodes and not just those placed directly into the menu tree. Please let me know if I'm missing something obvious. :) cheers -josh -- -------------------- Josh Koenig, Partner & CTO http://www.chapterthree.com
