Anonymous user create node

Wednesday 05 April 2006 3:13:06 am

I have some information to collect, and the restrictions of the information collector led me to create a content class modeling an application. Anonymous users can create an application on the website, however I do not want anonymous users to be able to view/browse applications. What I did so far was this:

content  create Class( Application ) , Section( Applications ) , ParentClass( Folder )
content  edit 	  Class( Application ) , Section( Applications ) , Owner( Self )
content  read 	 Class( Application ) , Section( Applications ) , Owner( Self )

This kinda works, BUT, when the user "publishes" his application he is redirected to the parent folder in which he is not allowed to view, causing an error to occur. Is there any way to work around this? I would like the user to be redirected to his application, not its parent folder. Am I going about this the wrong way?

Thanks. Looks like I'll be using your extension as well :) Another question - is it possible to send an email to the user and administrator when an application (or any type of node) is created?

hmm, since anonymous users may send an application I cannot use notifications to send them a receipt. I guess I just have to do some extending then?

I don't remember the name off the top of my head, but there is an extension in the contributions section that already does that (sends an e-mail based off of an attribute of the object published). It was pretty easy to set up and worked great for me. Sorry I don't have more specific information here, but hopefully it'll save someone some effort.
