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!

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();
}
