Menu per Role Module ------------------------ by Wolfgang Ziegler, nuppla@zites.net Modified for D6 by jrowny, jrowng@gmail.com on 12/5/2008 hutch AlexisWilke Description ----------- This module allows you to restrict access of menu items per roles. It depends on the drupal core menu.module - just activate both modules and edit a menu item as usual. There will be a new fieldset that allows you to restrict access by role. <DRUPAL 5> Installation ------------ Unfortunately you need to patch the drupal file includes/menu.inc. Use the the patch provided with the module. If you don't know how to patch, you can just insert the three additional lines manually - but remove the leading plus. Then copy the module's whole directory in your drupal modules directory and activate it. <DRUPAL 6> Installation ------------ Up to Drupal 6.9, you need to apply a patch to a menu file from Drupal core. This bug has now been fixed in the core (6.10+). o Patch drupal-6.6-menu-submit.patch (same patch for 6.7, 6.8 and 6.9) Fix a problem with the menu/add feature (that does not otherwise give you the mlid and thus renders the submit function totally useless.) See http://drupal.org/node/326210 for more information It is smart to patch the menu file before installing the Menu per Role so it works immediately. Although you can patch at any time. It just won't work 100% properly until then. <DRUPAL 7> Installation ------------ There is no patch for Drupal 7.x. Simply go to the module administration screen and select the module and click Save. How to use it ------------- Just activate the menu and the menu_per_role modules and edit a menu item as usual at /admin/build/menu. There will be a fieldset that allows you to restrict access by role. If you don't check any roles the default access permissions will be kept. Otherwise the module will additionally restrict access to the chosen user roles.
