Port Protected Node to Drupal 8

Hello,

Thank you for your request, that is motivating. With Izus we started some IRL discussions, we want to be more generic and not be only focused on nodes, so there would be more users for the module and more developers interested in.

Some kind of protected API :)

But currently I am focused on helping porting search_api_attachments with him, it is almost done. I am also focused on some migrations in D8 and other stuffs.

On protected node, Before porting to D8, it would be cool to have a stable version for D7 :). There is a ******* automated test that does not want to be green with the testbot #2447913: Fix fork feature and there are still some other tests to implements #2277045: Implement tests for protected node.

So if you want to help us, you are welcome. :)

i guess this should be postponed until we have a stable d7 release ;) #2105245: [META] Plan for Protected Node v7.x-1.0 release

I haven't dug into D8 yet, but +1 for some sort of protected API. I wonder if Protected Pages would be interested in this as well, if it would be possible.

D7 stable release is out. Back to active status.

Yay! I was just looking for some way to password protect nodes. Hope there's something to test soon! :)

Hello,

Thank you all for your interest in the D8 version. The current state is that we need to discuss the structure of module for D8.

Maybe looking above the node, at the entity level, but we need to poke the feasibility.

Unfortunately we (Izus and I) had only some 5 minutes discussions IRL for the moment.

Standardized the title.

Just checking to see if anyone's migrated a version of this to 8.x yet? I'm quoting a DR6 migration and we'd prefer to go to 8, but there are a lot of dependencies on this module.

@hottomali: I suspect you might need to include time to port some of this module's functionality as part of your upgrade estimate.

Hi guys.

If you don't mind I will start porting module to D8.

@Vlad_Bo Haved you begin the port to D8 ? Can we try to help you ?

Whats the status of this, is there any progress?

Looking forward to a Drupal 8 port...any news?

Looking forward to D8 port, too. :-)
Any status updates?

Does anyone have any code to share? I might have to do this for a client as there seems to be no real alternative to this module for Drupal 8. Any start on the code could save some time.

There were some commits to the 7.x-1.x branch today so maybe development on the 8.x branch will start soon.

Hello,

To give some info, I personally don't have time to port this module on D8/D9 on my free time. And more over doing it alone.

I saw that some people said that they started some ports. I don't see any links in this issue, so I guess code is not available publicly or they changed their mind. No offense here.

In this comment, I speak (write precisely :)) for myself, I don't know the opinion of @izus about this.

So my opinion is if someone has a sandbox on drupal.org or Github to show, and if people test the sandbox and everything is ok, I am ok to open a dedicated branch and to put someone as an additional maintainer for the D8/D9 version. But this is not a decision I will take alone.

Also, if no one had done any sandboxes yet, and if people wants to sponsor this port, you can contact me. I am not a freelance, so for administrative and contract stuff, It will need to be done with my current employer.

Hi all and just my two cents... we really loved protected_node!

For a port we should think about to:

• Join efforts with protected_pages and eventually just add a UI based on that, because other functionality and configuration might be shared!
• Implement this for (all kind of) entities and not only nodes. Since Drupal 8 we should think in entities and not in "node" vs. "user" vs. "taxonomy" vs. "eck" etc...

Thank you!

Updated issue summary with templates and put some information from the comments there.

i agree completly with @Grimreaper's opinion on that :)

Thanks @Anybody and @izus for your replies.

@Anybody: Yes, that's why since comment 1, I wrote about some kind of "Protected API". :)

+1 for this! I think the benefit of this module is to decide on node creation whether it should be protected or not. Protected pages is less user-friendly ;-)

Seeing as there hasn't been any movement on this I thought I'd run the module (not protected_node_rules & protected_node_views) though Drupal 7 to 8/9 Module Upgrader and it created a log file and a massive patch (attached).

I hoped that this could be used as the basis for starting the port, perhaps just the new 8/9 branch and then any further work could be carried out in separate issues making it much easier to track.

Is there any active maintainer for this module? I agree that after a basic check of #27 it would make a lot of sense to create a new branch for Drupal 8 / 9 !

Hello,

Branch 1.0.x created.

You can work with fork and MR in issues.

Thanks.

Have fun.

Thank you very much @Grimreaper, so I think we should test the D8/9 version now and create follow-up issues to improve that. I guess we can close this issue.

@all: Would be cool if you could participate in that testing / improvement process :)

Hello,

For information, the port to Drupal 9 is happening in https://www.drupal.org/project/entity_access_password

The alpha blockers had been fixed. So here is the first alpha version! https://www.drupal.org/project/entity_access_password/releases/1.0.0-alpha1

Happy testing!

Note: I will stop posting here updates on Entity Access Password as now a first tag had been made.

That's awesome! Thank you!

Whao thank you very very much @Grimreaper! Great work!

Thanks!

But do not forget to thank @meyerrob and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München for sponsoring the port. :)

If people can give a look at #3260323: Use user password functions for easier migration from D7 to D8/9, this will greatly help data migration from D7.

There are also some documentation pages https://www.drupal.org/docs/contributed-modules/entity-access-password, do not hesitate to give it a look and to complete if needed.
