Hello! I've been using crc with that custom links method ever since I wrote you about it many moons ago.

Since I use the custom links to specifically direct users, the crc tab can cause confusion. Whereas I like having the ability to use it in administrating content, I like having the module do quiet work directing users to create content with a certain tag for example.

This is such an essential module, thank you for sharing it!

The tab is controlled by the two permissions:

(
'access create related content menu'
OR
'access create related content block'
)
AND
can create at least one content type

You can create a role with one of these permissions and assign the role to the users that you want to access the tab.

I think users can bypass the tab via the preset link 'node/add/%/crc-preset/%' if they have the permission 'crc_node_add_by_preset_access' [edit: I mean "create related content by preset" permission]

Hope this helps

So, for crc to work, either one of those first 2 permissions must be set?

But if either of those are set, then access to the tab is mandatory?

What I'm looking to do is to disable the tab for non-admin user roles, but still be able to send them to a preset link for them to create content with the preset.

I want to send the user to the preset link to create content, but have them not have access to the tab and it's options.

I tried mixing and matching between the options on the permission page, and couldn't find one that would preserve functionality while not displaying the tab.

There must be a double permission check somewhere. I'll try and get some time to look into it but no ETOD

Alan, would you be able to explain what that last % stands for in this 'node/add/%/crc-preset/%'

Is it supposed to be a node number?

I'd still like to use this feature if you can advise me.

It is the preset id from memory.

Ok... I think I finally get that now. That would be used if you had some specific presets not related to a current node, but defined in the administration section?

Good to know. I actually haven't used that before.

As per the project page, I am stopping development of this module.

Note that I am not marking it abandoned as this triggers update warnings and I will address any security issues should they raise.
