Hi !

book pages see their original author changed upon editing, which makes permissions handling difficult. This patch add an option to book pages types which forces original author to stay the same, thus making NPBR behave coherently with all node types.

Not sure if this should go here. In fact it should probably be a book module patch (or a module by itself), but as authorship directly impacts NPBR behaviour, here it is...
As usual, feel free to reject it :)

Hi Alex, yes, I think this is more appropriate as something you could apply to the book module and submit there.

Still, thanks for all your work on the module anyway. Much appreciated.

Curious if you posted an issue against book.module for this? Not sure if the issue is still there in D6?

It looks like the revisions functionality in D6 core is broken in a different way (revisions are always owned by the original node author) but the book page author at least stays as the original author.

Re-assigning to the book module. I don't think NPBR is the appropriate place to handle this issue.

I'm marking this dup because book changes were made in #187799: Revisions are associated with node owner, not node editor. Re-open if that's not really what you wanted.
