I created a custom content type "foo". I granted "edit any foo" and "edit own foo" permissions to a role. Someone who is not an admin with that role can go directly to the edit node and make the changes needed. The problem is they do not see the edit tab for others or even their own foo. They can edit the nodes fine, they just don't get the handy edit tab so they don't have to remember what the node ID# is.

How do I get the edit tab that I see when I am on as an admin to show for other users with the correct permissions? I thought it might be a problem with my theme, but using Garland gives me the same results.

I'm sure it's something simple but all of attempts to search for a solution have come up with either very old bugs with cck, problems with the tab module (I don't have this module), or some weirdness with needing to set "administer all nodes" permissions, which didn't sound like the problem I'm having.

was content type created with core content types creation or with the CCK.module ?

exact version of core ?
exact version of CCK if in use ?

am checking to see if i can reproduce.

I can't reproduce using CCK 2.x-dev rolled last night. Possibly a bug that has since been fixed between those releases?

Update:

I did a test clean install and found it wasn't drupal 6.6 + CCK.

I then started disabling other modules on the site having the issue. When I disabled pathauto, the edit tab appeared again. Without doing anything else, I re-enabled pathauto (and eventually the rest of my site's modules) and the edit tab seems to be working fine now.

Thank you for looking into it, I'm still so new I have a hard time determining if I'm just missing something that I *should* know, or if it really is a bug.

Old issue, but I just had the same thing. My default content type page was not showing the view/edit tabs for users I gave permission to edit them, however my custom content types did.

Found this thread, disabled pathauto, enabled pathauto and all is well.

I solved this by running cron, then running update.php, then refreshing the page.

(For the record, disappearing edit tabs appear to be related to heavy duty editing sessions, when I'm moving between various nodes, editing them, saving, checking them again, editing again and so forth. I think [this is a guess] that running cron and especially update.php resets the permissions and just gives me a new start.)

I'm also having the exact same issue, except I'm using Drupal 6.6 and CCK 6.x-2.1. Weird thing is, some of the content shows the edit tab, and some of the other content of the exact same type does not show the edit tab.

Any ideas?

Same issue here with a 5.x site. A "lesser" role than superadmin does not see content edit tabs for certain content types. Sometimes works on content, and sometimes not on same content.

?? help!
