Internal Nodes

Description

Some content/nodes should never be viewed directly; only visible be through something else such as Views, or Panels. Per-content type or per-node, this module denies access to node/[nid] URLs while allowing the content to stay published and otherwise viewable.

Functionality

• Creates a permission per content type which when disabled denies node view to the specified role.
• Adds an option to content type edit forms for administrators to select the result of a direct node view.
• Node view options are Allow, Not Found, Access Denied, and Redirect.
• Redirect URL/path can use tokens, anchors or $_GET variables.
• "Denied action setting per-node" in content type settings. Node default is to use content type default.
• hook_url_outbound_alter() implementation to rewrite URLs of denied nodes to the redirect URL.
• Simpletests for content type settings, node settings, and hook_url_outbound_alter().
• Rules integration - Node view denied to user
• internal-node class on <div> and optional status messages for users with permission to view blocked nodes.

Use Cases

• Index all content types for search, but redirect some to the correct View/Panel when accessed.
• A View/Panel can open/scroll/page to a node when a [node:nid] token is used
  as a GET variable and or Anchor.
• Deny access to node/[nid] URLs, except where allowed.
• When nodes in an old content type are no longer needed, redirect all accesses to the landing page for the new content type.

Future Functionality

• Rules - Set 'node action'
• Views - List blocked actions for each node
• PHP/Hook for redirection location
• Allow edit/delete, but not view. See: http://drupal.org/node/1331034
• Simpletests for minor features
