Content Levels

The Content Levels module exposes a cck field type & widget by the same name.

This field allows the user to define some ordered series of content ranking (e.g. 'Gold', 'Silver', 'Bronze') and to specify the visibility and editability of each field on the content-type depending on the content level of a node.

The content level of a node can be specified to automatically degrade to the default level of its series on a given date.

The Content Levels cck field is compatible with the views module. Any view may be sorted or filtered by a content level field.

Some Info

• Dependent on: Content
• Package: CCK

Example Uses

• Property listing website, users pay for different levels of listings. A user may have three Gold-level listings, two Bronze-level listings etc. Each level allows them to edit and display more fields on their listing (e.g. show multiple images instead of one).
• Moderation queues. A bit theoretical at this stage, but this field may offer a way of a certain type of field-level moderation for nodes. There could be some levels in a node-type's content series (e.g. 'moderated', 'unmoderated' or 'locked', 'unlocked') and certain fields on a node could become un-editable once it has been 'ok'ed by a moderator.

Note. This module does nothing to restrict access to fields or content on a per user basis. Rather it restricts access to view and/or edit individual fields based on the current rank of a node, something that is unrelated to a user.
