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.
Thanks to FilmContact.com for supporting the update to Drupal 6.
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
