My requirement is to create some simple quick links to my sites user. This will be available as a block. Users will be able to create their own links. All the links that user created will be accessible to him. How to go about this thing?

What i did was this.

  1. Created a content type quick_links.
  2. Created another content type external_links.
  3. Created custom field for quick_links of nodereference type, and external_links are allowed to attach to this.
  4. Problem is, user can create external_links content but they are not allowed to add it to quick_links, because of permissions.
  5. I think I am not handling this problem properly.

How to go about this thing??
Any solution is appreciated.
Thanks.. Cheers !!!!!!!

I don't see why you need two content types.

Create a quick_link content-type, and give your users permission to view/edit/create own quick_links (not all quick_links).

Then make a View (using Views module) that displays a list of quick_links by the currently logged in user.

I cannot see why you need another content type and bunch of nodereferences ... seems overly complicated for your requirements.

I solved it.. Did exactly the same thing to solve it. My initial Idea was to construct few more blocks of different types of content types. I dropped it for now. If i want to get that done, I can always use taxonomy, which a good option rather then using nodereference..

Thanks.. Cheers !!!!!!!!!!
