Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I am speaking only for the drupal 5 version of this module as I have not used the drupal 6 version yet.
I have done a fair bit of work on this module for more advanced features like file attachments and unpublished revisions and it is getting to be a nightmare as new issues keep arising.
This is a patch for drupal core that adds view unpublished permissions for node types & books.
Because this solution is within drupal, it works across the board, so any modules calling node_access aren't going to mess with this as they do when you are using this module.
It is a minor patch so there isn't too much issue with patching core. Especially drupal 5.
This is a much cleaner and better solution even though you have to patch core.
Also, if you want to use file attachments on unpublished revisions check out the patch at #647312: Validation error when uploading files to non-current revisions
- You will need to also have another module like revision moderation for this to work.

Comment #1
agileware commentedHere is a better version of this patch.
The first one doesn't work properly in combination with other node access modules.
This one supports node, book and forum modules.
