Good morning everyone!

What options do we have in order to hide certain content/content types, like for example a book, or any book page, in 4.6.x

Thanx on forehand for any reply:-)

what you mean by hide? you can prevent stuff from getitng displayed on /node by deselect "promote to front page" check admin -> content types or something

Well, by not "promoting to front page" those items still appear in tracker, so one have to deselect tracker module, too...

By hiding I meant:

- How can I prevent certain roles/users from accessing this book page or forum post?

As far as I know you can't directly hide all the nodes of a content type. You can only restict "create" and "edit own" for some user roles.

What you can do is:
(a) hide individual nodes by using a module such as 'simple access' or 'node_privacy_byrole'.
(b) hide all the nodes tagged with some taxonomy terms by using the 'taxonomy_access' module.

You can use only one of these modules because they interfere with each other (they all update the same database table). With the third one (taxonomy_access) you can set up a combination of roles and categories which will come close to what you want to do.

There is also a new access control module, path_access, which I have not tried. The maintainer says that it can coexist with the other ones.

I want to hide the primary link "Login" after a user logs into the site. Can someone help me with this? I am using the fancy theme... I think we have to tweak the page.tpl file...but i dont know which part of it.

First of all, better to post in a new thread.
Modify in page.tpl.php

      <ul><?php foreach ($primary_links as $link): ?>
	  <?php
          static $primary_link_id;
          $primary_link_id += 1;    
        ?>
        <?php $class = ""; ?>
        <?php if ( stristr($link, 'active') ) : ?>
        <?php $class = 'class="current"'; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
        <li <?php print $class?> id="primary-link-<?php print $primary_link_id; ?>" > <?php print $link?> </li>
          <?php endforeach; ?>

to read:

      <ul><?php foreach ($primary_links as $key => $link): ?>
	  <?php
          static $primary_link_id;
          $primary_link_id += 1;    
        ?>
        <?php $class = ""; ?>
        <?php if ( stristr($link, 'active') ) : ?>
        <?php $class = 'class="current"'; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
       <?php if ($key != 'your/url'): ?>
        <li <?php print $class?> id="primary-link-<?php print $primary_link_id; ?>" > <?php print $link?> </li>
        <?php endif; ?>
          <?php endforeach; ?>

PS Not tested and posted in a hurry.

Thanx, Ill give it a try.

Ok this piece of code one can only implement into php-templates powered by the PHP-template-engine (otherwise you've got do technical changes in the code).

My post was not an answer to your question, but to the question of uday_chill
And a bad answer at that. The second code piece should be:

  <?php global $user; ?>
      <ul> <?php foreach ($primary_links as $key => $link): ?> 
<?php
          static $primary_link_id;
          $primary_link_id += 1;
        ?> 
         <?php $class = ""; ?> 
         <?php if ( stristr($link, 'active') ) : ?> 
         <?php $class = 'class="current"'; ?> 
         <?php endif; ?> 
        <?php if (!($key == 'your/url/tohide' && $user->uid)): ?> 
        <li <?php print $class?> id="primary-link- <?php print $primary_link_id; ?> " > <?php print $link?> </li>
         <?php endif; ?> 
           <?php endforeach; ?>
