Viewing Menu Items/Client Page

Posted by danhodkinson on March 4, 2009 at 11:33am

Hi all, i'm sure this question has been asked many times before but after an hour or 2 of searching i'm not getting any closer to finding what i need.

First of all my main goal at the minute is just to create a quick page for say 2 hypothetical clients, when the client logs in it either brings them to there page or a menu item becomes available for them to see there page, in there page will just be information i have written on there maybe pictures etc which they can comment on.

The first thing i need to do is figure out how to show menu items for specific users, i have been looking through modules but can't seem to find anything that i need. i figure it will involve setting ermissions etc.
i think once i have done that i can take care of the rest.

If anybody could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Dan

thanks for the advice, i installed the node redirect module and tried to set it up, i set up a dummy page which had the address of node/2, i have gone through the redirect setup and pressed save changes, then i logged out and logged back in as the dummy client, but couldnt see any change, wasnt redirected anywhere or anything, can't see any documentation for it either.

have you used it yourself?

thanks
Dan

edit: the page now appears but with these errors:-

* warning: Missing argument 2 for variable_get(), called in /mnt/w0203/d08/s39/b02e4f4f/www/danielhodkinson.com/clientlogin/sites/all/modules/node_redirect/node_redirect.module on line 44 and defined in /mnt/w0203/d08/s39/b02e4f4f/www/danielhodkinson.com/clientlogin/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 500.

is there a module where you can specify specific pages to be allowed by specific users, i think this may involve creating a new role for every client? as with this redirect module, other users could still see the content if they found the node number?

really struggling with this,

really struggling with this, but starting to think im maybe barking up the wrong tree with the redirect page?

ok, so what i am trying to create is an inividual page for an individual member which will contain a few lines of texts and pictures that they can comment on. a member cannot sign up for this site, they are given a username and password and can log in and then view their specific page created for them.

i have been searching for terms like client page, member page etc but i think those are too vague for the search engine.

so, i think i can either learn how to restrict the page view to only that member or if i can't do that then i can further password encrypt the page they go to so that other people can't access it (which i can do at the moment)

if anybody at all can offer any help or advice it would be tremendously appreciated at this point as i feel like i am running against a brick wall over and over.
thanks
Dan
