Ive setup my first drupal site, now I have questions - User pages with several different roles
Ive been reading, reading and reading some more. Ive setup my first Drupal site, played around with the config settings and now I have some questions about how to achieve the goals for the project im planning.
I want to setup several different roles. Each role will be able to create a specific type of content. For example:
Level A - 3 pages (stories), 10 videos, 100 photos and 10 text blocks
Level B - 1 page (story), 2 videos, 10 photos and 3 text blocks.
How can I achieve this with Drupal ?
Ive gone through the "getting started" document, and im now going through the "beyond the basics" links. Im proficient with PHP, MySQL and Apache, so im not opposed to creating my own module and Im sure I will be creating several at some point. Im hooked on Drupal now, if for no other reason than I dont have to write the user management part. I love reusing code.
help please
Drupal core does not offer
Drupal core does not offer the feature of restricting the number of nodes a role can create. Either you have to look for contributed modules that offer this functionality or create your own module.

Yes, thank you. I think you
Yes, thank you. I think you just narrowed down the key question that defines the problem im trying to solve. Even I didnt see it until just now. That is, the ability to retstrict users to only be allowed to post a certaain number of content items (or nodes in drupal terms).
I was hoping that this could be accomplished with roles, so that a given role was allowed to publish x number of videos, y number of images etc.
You might try either
You might try either Pay-per-node or Pay2Publish.
