Hi there,

This is nice little module, thanks. However, I was wondering if there's any way to allow all users to have access to the titles and teasers of protected nodes?

I'm putting together a site with some subscription content. Content Access handles this nicely, but I'd like to create a Views block with titles of the subscription nodes, along with a Views page with teasers, both of which are viewable by all users. Only subscriber roles would be able access the full subscription nodes, of course.

I've tried this, but only subscriber roles can view the Views block and teasers page -- the titles and teasers just go blank if the user doesn't have permission.

I realise this is probably a feature request for the future version, but I'd love a solution sooner, if at all possible.

Thanks.

I vote to throw this in as a forth option.

There's currently:
* View
* Edit
* Delete

I suggest that there be:
* View Teaser
* View Full Body
* Edit
* Delete

Ideas?

I agree. This would go a long way towards simplifying and improving the features of more than one of my sites.

Feels like this feature would perfectly fit for this module. I have similar needs but have not been able to find any solutions to this problem.

Has anyone had any luck implementing it?

Thanks in advance.

The nature of node access is all or nothing. It can't be "just a little bit."

Look at the Premium module.

This seems like a common request, perhaps we should investigate the possiblity, even if at the moment node access is all or nothing. This is IT after all so things can be changed :)

This is a similar request

The all-or-nothing nature of node access is a technical constraint that has to do with efficiency. We want to be able do a SELECT query that returns a list of nodes: any given node is either selected or not, it can't be in-between.
