Hi!

May websites needs more deeper access control than the build in module-permission-query based permission system.

The term_access module is very useful feature in drupal 4.4... but we need patch many modules (with windows was very hard). I'm not sure, but maybe you can integrate this term based access feature to drupal's core system without modifing other modules.

Thanks,
and sorry for my bad english...

Tom, Cat

It's not up to me, but last I heard from Dries was that no modules that control the new node access stuff would be included in Drupal 4.5.0. If he's changed his mind and there's anything that needs to be done for having it in 4.5.0 I'll gladly change it, however I'm pretty sure we're long past the code freeze. So at this point, it's probably not going to happen anyway.

Actually, I believe the project the original poster was refering to is not this one.

BUT, this project still works as created.

pyromanfo: can you upload the module you created with this project originally. It doesn't need to be part of the default install of Drupal, it works fine as a Contributed Module for now.

I've had no problems with the module I downloaded here. You also need the mysql file from here.

The patch to taxonomy.module doesn't work any longer. Well, it applies, but not cleanly, and it doesn't keep taxonomy terms from being displayed if the user doesn't have view permissions. But the edit permissions based on role work fine.

Great! I made the patch with a simple editor by hand. Taxonomy acceess now works for me. My other modification was the role based block access. I put the block array to the perm hook: now I can hide or show block from/to users. It is useful when I have many service on my site (each service is one role), the users will see only the service realted blocks.
