Hi all

I only just came across Drupal a few days ago and after reading through the features etc must say it all sounds very good! Keep up the good work!

Now for my question, once I have set up my site with drupal can my site's visitors be made to register and login before they get to the actual content of the site? I mean, of course I want them to be able to read the teasers (summaries) of the contributions, but can I force them to login before they read the rest of the contributed or any other content for that matter?

Your feedback would be much appreciated,

Lev

Of course...just set the permissions for the content you only want registered users to Authenticated Users. Log in as the administrator. Click on the menu item administer. Click on access control. Uncheck the box for the items you do not want anonymous users to see and check the boxes you want authenticated users to be able to access.

Make sense?

unfortunately that won't work, the access to the teasers is not different from the access to the full nodes.

normal drupal permissions only work for a node type, not for a part of a node.

you probably need to modify node.module with an extra permission setting for node teasers

Thanks for the replies, they will help me a lot. Has anyone ever looked into the option of displaying the teasers only and have the rest reserved for registered users only?

Any comments for feedback will be much appreciated

cheers
