Display the link but not the CCK form.

Question

Hi

I have created a form using add new content type and cck fields. I want anonymous users to view the menu item to this form but not the content. So when users click on the link they should get redirected to login page. I have granted the permissions of access all content. Any suggestions please.

Thanks Kanwal

Answer 1

create node-{YOURCONTENTTYPE}.tpl.php in your theme, then write next code:

<?php
global $user;
if (!$user->uid) {
  drupal_set_message('You should login before see this content type');
  drupal_goto('user');
}
?>
//HERE CODE FROM STANDARD node.tpl.php of your theme

Answer 2

I would never use the theme layer for access control and redirection, as Nikit suggests.

You could simply create a normal menu link to 'user/login' with "Create content" as menu title. Drupal will automatically hide it when you're logged in.

An even better option, IMHO, is to use the Inline Registration module. As the module page says: "Inline Registration allows anonymous users to register via the node/add page, thus removing a step/barrier from the user actually publishing content." Try it, I think it's a huge usability improvement.
