Can anonymous users edit their content? module, ideas

Here is my module.. and the node edit form template below it.

Its very bare bones but does the job for one content type for now... This works with a cck content type I made called "an_content_edit_test" . The permissions are set so anyone can edit it.. I am using a field called "field_anon_pw" from that content type for the password. I also dump the form I made right on to the node page via the hook_nodeapi function. Thats a pretty ugly way to do it but it was easy to test. A better way could be to call the custom form on a node template with drupal_get_form.

Notes.. Like I said..it only works with one content type that is hard coded in the module. It will lock everyone out of that node content type edit screen unless they pass the check.. or you change themes. That part could easily be re-written to add a check for user roles or user ID =1. Also I did this pretty quickly and barely got a chance to test or review it so definitely use at your own risk.

The module name is anpwedit..

<?php
/**
 * @file
 * TODO: Enter file description here.
 */

/**
 * Implementation of hook_nodeapi().
 */
function anpwedit_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $a3 = NULL, $a4 = NULL) {
	if ($node->type == 'an_content_edit_test') {
  switch ($op) {

  case 'view':
	$output = drupal_get_form('anpwedit_anpwform',$node);

print $output ;

	  break;  
	  }	
}
}	
   
	   
/**
* Define a form.
*/	
function anpwedit_anpwform($form_state, $node) {

$form['contentnid'] = array(
'#title' => t('The nid of the content'),
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#description' => t('The nid of the content'),
'#default_value' => $node->nid,
'#access' => FALSE,
);

$form['anpassword'] = array(
'#title' => t('Password to edit'),
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#description' => t('password'),
);


$form['submit'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => t('Submit')
);

return $form;
}


// The submit function... 
function anpwedit_anpwform_submit($form, &$form_state) {

$mynode=node_load($form_state['values']['contentnid']);

if ($form_state['values']['anpassword'] == $mynode->field_anon_pw[0]['value']){

$_SESSION['anpwedit_status'] = TRUE;
drupal_goto('node/'. $form_state['values']['contentnid'] . '/edit');


}
}

Here is the node edit template for the content type this one is called "an-content-edit-test-node-form.tpl.php". Keep in mind you have to register the the template in your theme template file. http://drupal.org/node/85908#comment-1972246 or like the bottom of the thread says..I think it could be added to the module as well.

<?php
if (!isset($_SESSION['anpwedit_status'])){
print "please use a password";
}
elseif (isset($_SESSION['anpwedit_status'])){
print drupal_render($form);
}
unset ($_SESSION['anpwedit_status']);
?>

Here is a working example that I will leave up for a few http://www.audiopolis.org/node/932 use mypass to edit it. You can also change the password if you want but it will muck up the demo for any one else till I can change it back :]
