Type password when access to node

Yeah I've thought about this before, it would be a nicer workflow. It might also let us grant anonymous access?
Just have to work out how to give this option to the user instead of 'access denied' or whatever it does atm.

Alright one thing to do would be to hook_menu_alter the node_menu and use our own callbacks and access to handle it.

Then we'd have to undo the changes of http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--node--node.module/function/nod...
in our own http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--system--system.api.php/functio...

Plus add in theming or something to hide the node displays.

And then see how that goes.

This could be risky, could introduce security flaws.

Might be a while before I get around to this.

How is this anonymous user access coming along? Will it be for Drupal 6? Just wondering cause the Protected Node Module hasn't been updated and it does not work with profiles that use panels. Just curious! Thanks!

I haven't done anything on this. I don't think it will be possible.

I might be able to create a block or something where you can type the password. That would allow you to put it on a Views page to enable you to see the node listed in the view.

But it won't work if you try to access the node page directly because drupal will throw an access denied page at you.

Unless we can take control of the access denied page somehow.

Either way the first step is to to detach the password form from the user page, make it better, and allow it to be embedded anywhere that it might be needed.

Dumb Question.. but ..Where are the passwords and how does one edit which nodes produce them?

Heh apparently you can make your own 403 access denied page by setting variable_set('site_403', 'path-to-page-here')
That would make this very possible I think.

It wouldn't allow the node to come up in lists though, would need another workaround for that.

Already found a wierd bug in developing this with drupal sites nested within other drupal sites (which is how i develop) here's the fix http://drupal.org/node/30334

I have committed this to 7.x-4.x, see how it goes...

Any bugs with this, please start a new issue. I am redeveloping a lot of 7.x-4.x, so just be aware.

Is this (anonymous node access password to Enter on nodes) in the current Release?
