Hi, i am playing around with Drupal 6.1. I set up some user accounts and checked the permissions for them to be able to create/edit and delete the page content. While i can create the page with the option showing up under the Create Content menu link, i don't seem to be able to edit it afterwards. It does not show up anywhere (except under the admin->content link, which the normal user does not and should not have access to). I expected the edit link to show up under the my account settings for the user who created the page. But it does not. What am i missing? mat

Also, you seem to be implying that because the user doesn't see it on their my accounts page, that they don't have privileges to edit it. This statement may not be true. If the user navigated to the page directly by its node/### url. They would normally see an edit tab. Said another way. Drupal does not (without additional modules) by default provide a page that shows the user the content that they can edit. The views module is one module that you can download that gives you the ability to create a page to show a user all the content that they have authored. Clear as mud ;)?

Yes, while the 6.x release is exciting, it's probably not going to work for many production sites until more modules are released and stabilized in 6.x. Even drupal.org stated they would keep using 5.x until required modules are updated. .s Matt Funk wrote:

Thanks for the directions,

however, it seems that most modules do not yet have a 6.x version? So it is probably still better to use 5.x?

Hi,

Yes that's right. User_load is not called all the time, but only when a module decides it needs all the users profile information, etc. So in the module that needs access to this, it should call user_load($user->uid) in order to make sure it gets all profile fields, and your hook_user code is executed. If you truly need this data populated every page load, and are coding for 5.x, you can move your code into hook menu (!$may_cache section) in a module to modify the global $user object instead. Hook init could be used but you'll find not all the drupal api functions are available cause drupal hasn't fully bootsrapped yet (particularly when caching is enabled). In 6.x hook_init is a more appropriate place to do "every page" loading of data into the global user object.

Hi all. I need to add some infos to $user variable. I have thinked that hook_user() is my "hook" :)

So I have write a function that add the infos to the $account:

function mw_livelloUtenti_user($op, &$edit, &$account, $category = NULL) { switch ($op) { case "login" : case "load" : if ($account->uid != NULL || $account->uid != 0) {

$tmp = db_query("SELECT mw.* FROM mw_lU AS mw LEFT JOIN mw_lU_user AS mwu ON mw.luid = mwu.luid WHERE mwu.uid = %d",$account->uid); $account->level = db_fetch_array($tmp); //print_r($account); //Ok, data are inserted (fields: level, data1, data2) } break; } }

Now, why when one of my other module try to access to $user->account this field is NULL ? Plz help me.

M.
