Say I have a personal website, that has content I only show to members, and I also have a livejournal presence.
Now say, that enough of my userbase on said personal site stems from livejournal users, I would like to allow livejournal users to log in via the livejournal.module freely without hassling with making an account on my site. However, I want to restrict all other account requests to admin approval, cause I don't want any random Tom, Dick, or Harry to be able to see my nudie pics and read about my anal fissure surgeries.
How would I do that?
I've spoken with the author of the livejournal.module, as I'm not a coder and don't know how to go about these things. Apparently it seems that hook_auth is pretty much the limit with remote auth modules, and it only returns true or false, which I guess makes writing an exception into the module impossible due to limitations in the Drupal framework?
And what of the core drupal module that originally allowed for livejournal, blogger, and other authorizations?
Am I SOL here?
