Hi The site I'm working on publishes a monthly publication. A subscription gives a person access to these publications.
The publication is a custom content type with a bunch of CCK fields.
Using the nodeapi hook, I create a custom teaser for each publication.
Now, here's what I want to do. I want that teaser to be viewable by everyone.
Using "views", I created a page which displays a teaser list of all the publications. When a person is logged in, this list shows up fine. Anonymous users see an empty list.
I realize this is by design, so I was wondering if anyone had any strategies for pulling this off.
The only thing I can come up with is to programmatically create a new node when the publication is saved which contains the teaser. The views page would then list these nodes.
Are there better ideas? or modules I could check out?
thanks in advance

Hi, I asked this question a few months ago and didn't get any pointers to a specific module that exists, but several tips. In the end I used CCK to create a new content type. I left the 'body' description blank to hide it. I then created 3 new text areas: 'Non Members' - that would contain the teaser for non-members. 'Teaser' - for the regular teaser for members. 'Body' - The full page content. I set the 'Display fields' tab options so that 'Non Members' and 'Teaser' are displayed for Teaser, and 'Body' is displayed when in Body view. I then used the 'CCK Field Permissions' module to be able to set which field is visible for which role, so people who are not logged in see the 'Non Members' teaser and no body, and people who are logged in see the other Teaser and the Body. When you create a new page, you have to input both teasers manually, which suited my needs ok.
Hope that helps, and I'm interested in any other solutions you might come up with.
