Node page admin

Current situation

Drupal (6.x, 7.x) core module node provides a view which shows a list of all the published nodes:

http://www.example.com/node

Nowadays most Drupal installations use Views, Panels, etc, which are more configurable making this feature useless.

Description

This module adds an administration settings panel to handle /node page access.

Once it is activated there are three posible configurations:

• Core - Drupal core will handle node page access as usual: all users with 'access content' permission
• Disabled - Nobody will be able to access /node. It will return 'Page not found' (404).
• By permission - Access will be handled by a new permission: 'access node page'

Problems that resolves

In some well known projects this path has not been themed:

• http://postfun.washingtonpost.com/node
• http://community.harvard.edu/node
• http://www.mtv.co.uk/node
• http://nation.foxnews.com/node

so using this module will improve user experience and branding.
