Display msg for the unauthorized user!?

This works quite well. Thanks.

Another idea: I have a use case where I want to show the field name but not the value to users without view permissions. The use case is for a site where premium content can be purchased. I want to set the view permission to block certain users, but let them know that a restricted field exists, then instead of showing the value display a message to the user providing additional information. Ideally, this message to the user would be managed via the admin UI.

Can this be done?

Marvix,

Where do you add this exactly?

It would be good to be able to add a custom "access denied" message in the field settings added by field_permissions. In the meantime, you can implement hook_node_view_alter() with per-field logic similar to:

  if (!$build['field_video']['#access']) {
    $build['field_video']['#access'] = TRUE; // Grant access
    $build['field_video']['#formatter'] = 'text_default'; // Change from media to text output.
    $destination = array('destination' => 'node/' . $build['#node']->nid);
    foreach ($build['field_video']['#items'] as $key => $item) {
      $build['field_video'][$key] = array(
        '#markup' => t('<a href="@login">Log in</a> or <a href="@register">register</a> to view video.', array('@login' => url('user/login', array('query' => $destination)), '@register' => url('user/register', array('query' => $destination)))),
      );
    }
  }

if(!field_access('view', field_info_field('FIELD_NAME'),'node')){
		drupal_set_message(" MMMM", 'warning',false);
}

Sorry,
where and how should we use this code?
Thanks !

Thank you!

Hi Jonathan, would you be so kind to guide me on where to add your hook_node_view_alter() at http://drupal.org/comment/reply/1429200/5835296 ?

Would most appreciate your help, thx

The code I suggested for hook_view_alter() would go in a custom module. You need to adapt the function name hook_view_alter() to suit the name of your custom module. See https://drupal.org/node/361112 and the nodeapi_example module from https://drupal.org/project/examples

thank you Jonathan, that is above my head .. I had a look and have to create a new module .. perhaps you have created an example please?

I don't have ready code to show because I don't recall which site I used this on, and in any case the code would be incorporated with other customisations for that site. The examples I cited should be sufficient if you are a module developer (or want to become one). Otherwise you may need to hire one.

Hi,

I try the code of @jonathan_hunt (#5) for add a custom "access denied" message (in my template.php), but i have many errors...

Would there be another solution?

Field Permissions does not support Drupal 7.
