D6 update

subscribing...

I too am interested in a version for drupal 6!

Definitely interested. Please???

Desperately interested! Please?

Me too. Any plans for upgrading to drupal 6? Please!!!

Any word yet on supporting Drupal 6? I know I've not even had a chance to try this out, b/c I started with Drupal 6.

PLEASE update for Drupal 6! :0) We'd all be SO thankful!

If this module does what I've read it does, it'll be perfect for my needs for sure!

Pwetty Pwetty Pwease! ;0)

I sure hope that the module will be ported, but unfortunately I have no time to work on it at the moment. Patches are very much welcome!

I know the feeling! I'd jump on it if I could find the time..... oh, and knew what I was doing with that. LOL

Well, hopefully somebody will soon.

Perhaps one day, I'll get around to learning enough of the coding to work on it myself. I tend to be able to pick up on various languages pretty quickly when I just hunker down and do it!

Anybody wanna jump on it like, um, today, maybe???

http://drupal.org/project/override_node_options have a new patch witch has this feature, it will be release with this feature for 6.x soon after a quick change of maintainer.
Please see #223207: port to 6.0 for more info.

Thanks for that update, lomz! I'll keep my eye out for the official release, and try it then. If I had the time, I'd try tinkering with the current patch, but I just unfortunately have too many irons in the fire as it is! ;0)

I was assisting someone in the forums who needed this so I took a stab at it-- seems to be working fine on my dev site. Enjoy.

I spoke too soon-- something is wrong with the form validation.

The module works, but invalid values appear to the user to have been saved although upon editing the node again the invalid value has not been saved (the previous value is there). And there's no form validation warning/error message. I'll play around with it some, but I'm still not quite up-to-speed on all the FAPI changes. If anyone else could take a look that would be great.

I need this too. At least, I need some way of restricting the ability to edit Authoring Information to certain admin roles. Thanks.

Drupal Core really should have this built in. It's been an issue since 4.7.

Any updates on this one so far?

The validate function just isn't being called. You can fix the patch by changing the line where you add the validation function in the hook_form_alter to this

$form['#validate'][] = 'edit_authoring_info_form_validate';

subscribe, thx!

With this patch, this module is fully functional for me in Drupal 6.14.

• Corrected above patch with appropriate #validate attribute.
• Removed user_access conditionals in the validating function (since validation is of data correctness, not user permissions).
• N.B. In reference to comment #8 above, the Override Node Options module currently features a version 6.x-1.9 that advertises the same functionality, plus some. But if you just need the small adjustment edit_authoring_info provides, it's lighter.

Please review.

I have not tried the Override Node Options module, but it looks good and seems to completely supersede Edit Authoring Information. I'd rather avoid the duplication. Any good reasons to not use Override Node Options? It does not seem significantly heavier than Edit Authoring Information — not enough so to worry about I think.

I can't speak for anyone else, but having tried them both I much prefer edit_authoring_info's approach. First, it doesn't add to the mangled disaster that is the permissions page-- any time I see a while loop that's keyed on node type my head explodes, lol. Second, I don't see how you can say the override module isn't heavier-- the actual # of lines of code that work the nodeapi magic in this module is about 8.

And finally, after a chance encounter with chx in irc looking at these types of modules one night, this module received the 'chx seal of approval' as a possibility for drupal.org due to it's simplicity and tightness. That's enough for me ;-)
