Node Access Arbitrator written by merlinofchaos is a module API designed to allow multiple node access systems to work together.

As you maybe know this is a big problem in the drupal world of today.
It is not possible to let different node access modules work together.

Please convert your module to this API.
There are two example implementations where you can see how this could be done (workflow_access and forum_access)

Yours sincerely

I thought I replied to this long ago, just noticed my comment is not here.

I'm happy to consider a patch that makes the module work with na_arbitrator. I haven't used it and it seems like setting up a system to really test cac_lite alongside other access systems will take some work. Not sure when I personally would get around to that.

I won't consider a patch that requires na_arbitrator. That is, cac_lite has to work whether na_arbitrator is installed or not. And I don't want code with if clauses checking for the existance of na_arbitrator. Do you have examples of node_access modules that work with or without na_arbitrator?

Since Drupal 5 has a node access api built in, I say this is wontfix...

4.7 is on the way out in any case.
