$10 paypal payment for answers
I have a couple questions that I’ve been unable to get working answers to. I’ll send a $10 paypal payment to anyone whom answers one of the questions below and I get it to work as required. Previous responses have resulted in links to module categories, but I need specifics and any modules must be compatible with Drupal 6. I’m also mildly familiar with PHP should it be needed.
Question 1
Basically, I need to configure a way where just the original poster of a book can add content to their book and control the outline.
When I go to permissions I see
Book Module
Access printer-friendly version
Add content to books
Administer books outlines
Create new books
Unfortunately, there is no “Add content to own books” or “Administer own book outlines”. When I enable these permissions users can configure any book on the site. How can I get is so just the creator can edit the books he or she has created?
Or is there a way to limit the length of a node? Say a user submits a 10,000 word story can a node be broken down to create 3 related nodes linking together…without books?
Question 2
Say I want to make a News page with someone else’s RSS feed, or perhaps even post a certain taxonomy defined feed within a certain page. How do I create such a thing? For Example, here’s a page node
Title
Small description
[Centered Table]
[within table I want the results of an RSS feed]
Footer
Any ideas?
Thanks
1. its not a real solution
1. its not a real solution but with book access you can limit with roles by book
you can solve the problem of the length of the book with http://drupal.org/project/maxlength
2. on possible solution could be the use of the leech module

LOL, You seem to have found
LOL, You seem to have found a series of non-existent features and modules
I don't think you can do any of that without creating some custom modules. You can categorize feeds but the catgorization is not linked to the sites taxonomy. You could use something like the rss leech module to create nodes that are taxonomied.
The easiest way to do the book thing is to modify the book module a bit. Adding in the permissions that you need is fairly simple.

You need three modules content_access, FeedApi and View
1. To control access by author you can use content access module at http://drupal.org/project/content_access
which allows you to give grant per node and also per author.
2. For aggregating feed from other website and to turn it in to nodes and then display it in table and other formats you can use FeedApi ( there are also other alternatives but I suggest this) at http://drupal.org/project/feedapi and Views at http://drupal.org/project/views. FeedApi is for aggregating feeds from other site and views as the name itself indicate to display in variety of ways contents in Drupal website in your case in a table format.
So to accomplish your task you need to install these three modules and configure them. Configuration is straight forward probably you need to refer their download page and most importantly the read me file that comes with the modules files. Using views is a little tricky so you may like to see this tutorial

Does node access cascade
Does node access cascade through all the children of a book or outline? Because if it does not setting permissions page by page on large content sets will become tiring and old very quickly.
