For the moment it is only in a single page. I do not see much call for needing it in pages other than the one which needs it currently.

Do you have a set of nodes that would have a portion of it editable by users with role1 and part editable by user role 2? Or is it only in the home-page that you have this requirement.

...

Hello

I am trying to allow certain portions of a node to be editable independently from that node.

Or, trying to allow a node to display a block of text, based upon something entered in some administrative section.

An example, would be a div containing special announcements, displayed on a home page.

I would like to have that section only be editable, without granting edit permission for the entire page.

I could probably do this with a view, displaying an otherwise publicly inaccessible node.

I could probably do it better using a custom designed HTML form, with a bit of PHP in the node to pull a record from the database.

Those are the two options I have thought of. However, there are probably others of which I am unaware, and maybe this is not a novel problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Luke

Yes. Could be done with a View, a Panel (panels module) or with just a bit of PHP to use load_node to show the nodes in question, in whatever layout you want. Then each section of your page is a separate node.

I might like that--will have to investigate it some. Have not used PHP to manipulate aspects of drupal, only to run custom stuff of mine integrated into nodes.

Thanks

very simple, like:

<div id="x"> <?php $n = node_load(34); print $n->body; ?> </div>

Beautiful. The only thing that doesn't seem to happen is a filter - from either the source or enclosing node. Probably a way to do that, but I can apply external or PHP formatting until I figure out how.

Thanks
