Restricting node access by IP using taxonomy terms
danwassink - April 29, 2008 - 04:01
Hello all,
I would like to have restricted access to certain nodes by IP. I would tag these nodes by a taxonomy term. So if I tagged it 'Private', only people within a certain IP would have access to this node, and if I tagged it 'Public' everyone would have access to the node. Does this make sense?
Has anyone ever seen anything like this or does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Dan Wassink

I needed similar functionality, except I needed to only allow site registration to people from certain IP addresses. I ended up modifying the module "register_country" so that instead of pulling from the IP2CC module database of countries, I just added the allowed IPs into the actual script. It's not based on taxonomy, but the idea could be modified to fit.
/**
* Implementation of hook_user().
* Checks the user's IP Address on registration.
* If they are from one of the specified IPs, allow registration to continue.
* If not, then redirect to a designated page.
*/
function register_ip_user($op, &$edit, &$account, $category = NULL){
//Use first 9 characters of allowed IP addresses
$locations = array('##.##.###', '###.###.#');
switch ($op) {
case 'register':
$addr = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$addr = substr($addr, 0, 9);
if (in_array($addr, $locations)) { /* okay */ }
// No, go to the error page.
else { drupal_goto('register_notice'); }
break; /* end of register */
} /* end of switch */
return array();
}
