Role Weights
Role Weights allows site admins to specify certain weights for user roles. Its not much use on its own, but more of a helper module for other modules requiring this functionality, such as Path Access. Role Weights also provides Tokens and some Views support: views are able to access, display or sort by the node author's role weight.
Please read the README.txt file for some more information, and a cautionary note.
Installation
First up, grab the latest official release of Role Weights appropriate for your version of Drupal (see releases below for downloads).
- Upload the role_weights directory to your modules directory.
- Enable the module under Administer -> Site building -> Modules.
- Visit Administer -> User management -> Roles and choose the 'edit' link next to a role to change a role's weight.
Usage
Once installed and role weights set, modules can then make use of:
function role_weights_get_weight($role_id)
- gets the weight value for a specified role
function role_weights_get_highest($roles)
- takes an array of role_id => role_name and returns the 'highest' role id
