I know it's been raised many times before but here I am raising it again!

Drupal is fantastic and I understand 4.5 has a mechanism for 3rd-party access control modules to plug into but:

  1. I tried JonBob's sandbox nodeperm_xxx.modules (http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/contributions/sandbox/jonbob/node_permissi...) with HEAD and they generated errors
  2. Is anyone working on other such modules?
  3. Is it currently possible to hide taxonomies and/or menu items that users don't have access to? (I'm guessing not?)

After Drupal 4.5 core release, I feel such features are the highest priority and would like to help in any way that I can but I'm still learning the in's and out's of Drupal module development.

Regards,
Brian.

I've tried to use JonBob's nodeperm_taxonomy module today and it works ok after a tiny fix which I will commit to cvs shortly. You also need to delete the "all" entry from the node_access table and add entries for your users to the nodeperm-taxonomy table.

Thanks for the cvs update killes. I installed and it seems to work fine.

One final silly question, how is the "Node access vocabulary:" setting intended to work? There doesn't seem to be any documentation yet.

Brian.

is the "Term Access" module (available in /downloads) what you are looking for? Have you seen the "Groups" module? (sure you have, but it's broken, right?)

The "term access" module isn't compatible with Drupal's node access permissions as far as I know. My groups.module is rather similar in scope to the nodepermission_taxonomy.module. I'll maybe use some parts of the latter to resurrect the former.
