Assign permissions to vocabularies by user role.

The core taxonomy system allows vocabularies to be assigned to node types. This module extends that by allowing the editing and/or display of the vocabulary to be controlled by user role. It attaches itself to the vocabulary add/edit form and gives the administrator three options for each role - (1) edit and view, (2) view only, and (3) none.

This module makes it possible to create a vocabulary for administrator purposes, hide this category from most users, and then use the category as a views filter.

Here are two use cases:

• a vocabulary that had the terms "special offers", "front page", "user advertisement", etc; this vocabulary could be used in various views to pull the tagged content into a particular block or page.
• a vocabulary that had the terms "editor post", "editor tagged", and "community post" and a role type of "editor" that was less than an admin, but had privilige to write editorial content (as opposed to unedited community content), but also had permission to tag community content as something that was propogated to higher visibility.

The Translation template extractor provides a web based and Drush-integrated Gettext translation template extractor interface for Drupal as well as a reusable API to look for translatable strings and translatability errors.

This module allows you to specify content type(s) as being a block. This allows the content managers of the site to edit the block text and title without having to access the block administration page. Users only need edit access to that node in order to edit it.

We advice you to use this module together with Node Level Blocks or Block Reference module.

It is very handy to create a simple block content type and enable this content type for blocks and use these in place of the normal 'add block' functionality.

Now supports translatable content (Contrent translation with i18n and Entity Translation)

If Content Translation is enabled, then only a single node block per translation set is exposed and the node from the translation set with the appropriate language is loaded into the block.

Other modules

There are several other modules and approaches that allow nodes to be presented as a block. See a comparison at http://groups.drupal.org/node/93499

Drupal 7

The Drupal 7 version of this module enables the use of view modes. This gives the user even greater control over customizing the output of the node block. Default view modes and links display can now be assigned per content type and then overridden at block/node level.

Drupal 6

This module is a little helper to maintain an administrator role which has all available permissions. By default, Drupal only has one super user and this module helps improve this drastically.
