I'm using drupal for facilitating interaction between students and faculty at a school. I'd like the students be able to submit a piece of content that is viewable by a faculty access group and themselves. The module comes really close, except the user cannot select a group they aren't a member of.

I'd be willing to submit a patch to accomplish this (and backport to 4.7), but could fork this into another module. Which would you prefer?

I was thinking of just a "setting" to control whether all groups are displayed or only the groups a user is a member of.

Here's a patch that accomplishes this fix. I intentionally based this patch on 4.7 because there seems to be a lot of uncertainty about how 5.0 will handle node access. I thought about doing this as a contrib module, but you really need to display all groups in simple access in order for this mod to be of any value.

this feature made it into HEAD (for 5.x) with the patch for http://drupal.org/node/93577.

i don't know if gordon is planning to maintain a 4.7.x-2.* series for new features, but i kind of doubt it. metzlerd, feel free to set this to "need porting" and provide a patch if you're so inclined, but i wouldn't be in favor of adding it to the 4.7.x-1.* series.

thanks,

Agreed, and unless someone else needs it, I already have a 4.7 version in my production site, so I don't need gordon to do any more work. I'm just happy to see it get into HEAD :).

Oh and dww, by the way, thanks for jumping in and helping with the port.
