Clone own content

easy enough - can you the patch?

Not highly tested (read not tested at all) but this does the trick.

If the user has the "Clone node" permission they can clone everything
If the user has the "Clone own nodes" permission they can only clone their nodes. Obviously you wouldn't want to give both permissions together so its possible there is a better way to word/code this.

for consistency maybe "clone own node"?

hhmm...
"clone own content" is more consistent with Drupal..
"clone own node" is consistent with this module.

You make the decision and I'll roll a new patch.

hmm, maybe I should bite the bullet and change the permission name in 6.x?

I say change it in 6.

New permission would be
"Clone content"
"Clone own content"

in 5.x leave it as
"clone node"
"clone own nodes"

but we can change it to "clone own node" if you want. I'll roll whatever patch you want just tell me your decision ;)

@jredding - the fun part is updating the permissions from 5.x to 6.x...

here's how I did it for book module:

    // Fix role permissions to account for the changed names
    // Setup the array holding strings to match and the corresponding
    // strings to replace them with.
    $replace = array(
      'outline posts in books' => 'administer book outlines',
      'create book pages' => 'create book content',
      'edit book pages' => 'edit any book content',
      'edit own book pages' => 'edit own book content',
      'see printer-friendly version' => 'access printer-friendly version',
    );

    // Loop over all the roles, and do the necessary transformations.
    $query = db_query("SELECT rid, perm FROM {permission} ORDER BY rid");
    while ($role = db_fetch_object($query)) {
      // Replace all the old permissions with the corresponding new permissions.
      $fixed_perm = strtr($role->perm, $replace);
      // If the user could previously create book pages, they should get the new
      // 'add content to books' permission.
      if (strpos($role->perm, 'create book pages') !== FALSE) {
        $fixed_perm .= ', add content to books';
      }
      // Only save if the permissions have changed.
      if ($fixed_perm != $role->perm) {
        $ret[] = update_sql("UPDATE {permission} SET perm = '$fixed_perm' WHERE rid = $role->rid");
      }
    }

patch does not apply - here's a new one for 5.x-2.x

for the 5x-1x

committed this patch and the previous for the 5.x versions

basic patch for 6.x - please test. Doesn't do permission re-naming, if that's desired.

quick test looks ok - committing to HEAD - let me know if anything explodes.
