Node Access Password

danielb - October 22, 2008 - 08:49

Allows a node to generate a password for itself that users must enter into their profile to be able to see that node.

The idea is that someone who has access to the node anyway (e.g., because of their user role) will be shown the password which they can then give to somebody else in person.

Usage example:
You run a body corporate website and are obligated to provide fire safety reports to residents.
Create a node type representing 'property', and create nodes representing apartment buildings with the fire safety information.
Create a nodeaccess_password realm named 'resident'.
Use another node access module to give access to the property node to someone in a user role 'manager' access to see the property and it's passwords.
This manager gives the password in person to residents along with instructions.
Residents can now sign up to the website and enter the password into the profile to be given access to see the property page, and to see it listed in views.

Note: a little bit of php and templating will be required to make use of this module, until more features are added. See README file for more information.
