Node creation limit per user

Posted by mkdi on March 7, 2008 at 1:20am

Hi all,

I am using nodeprofile, and nodefamily modules in conjunction with a few more modules. One of my task was to restrict the number of nodes a user can create, for example a story node. But when i restrict general users of my site to 'say' 5 nodes per user, i as administrator am also restricted to the same limit. Is there a work around it, any help ll be greatly appreciated.

Thank v.much for a prompt reply, by having the node family module activated, i go to my content type in "Administer » Content management » Content types>>story" and in there i type 5 in the box, "Maximum population: [5 ]Maximum number of nodes of this content type per user. Enter 0 for no limit". thats how i restrict them to only 5 story nodes per user, but at the same time, i restrict myself as well as administrator.

a quick search on the issue

a quick search on the issue queue resulted in this post User 1 should not be limited.

it looks as if you can avoid the problem by setting the author on the nodes created by user 1 to "anonymous".

That works.

Thanks alot, it works, but in the access control area of my site, i do not give anonymous role a permission to create story content, so i am really not sure whether it will generate any errors or conflicts later on with the access permissions system. But i guess if this is my only option then i have to take it. Thanks once again.

You're welcome. And I

You're welcome. And I thought about that... and it's actually better that anons don't have access (if they did, you couldn't differentiate between admin posts and true anon posts). I don't particularly like it as a "solution" though, it's more of a work around. It's also not going to work for someone that wants to keep posts authored by "admin" (or whatever the username for user 1 is) as admin for theming purposes. But at least it solves your problem for now.

Limit nodes for anonymous users ?

Hi,

Do you know how to limit nodes that can create anonymous users ?

I would like to use this function on ads/classified website and I don't want to force users to register to publish their ads.

Thanks for help.
