README.txt for ACL 7.x-1.x >>>> Please feel free to suggest improvements and additions to this file! <<<< Overview -------- ACL has no UI of its own and unless some other module uses it, it won't appear to add anything to your site. Only bother with this module if some other module tells you to. For client modules that want to implement by-user node access in a robust and compatible way, ACL provides the required functionality. For a sample implementation see the Forum Access module: http://drupal.org/project/forum_access Acknowledgements ---------------- Originally written for Drupal 5 and maintained by merlinofchaos. Ported to Drupal 6 and 7 and maintained by salvis. Upgrading from Drupal 6 ----------------------- Update to the latest D6 release, then upgrade as outlined in the Drupal 7 docs. Troubleshooting --------------- Even though ACL does not do anything by its own, Core recognizes it as a node access module, and it requires you to rebuild permissions upon installation. The client module is fully responsible for the correct use of ACL. It is very unlikely that ACL should cause errors. If there is a node access problem, or if you intend to implement a module that uses ACL, we highly recommend to use the Devel Node Access module as outlined in the step-by-step instructions in http://drupal.org/node/add/project-issue/acl Support/Customizations ---------------------- Support by volunteers is available on http://drupal.org/project/issues/acl?status=All&version=7.x Please consider helping others as a way to give something back to the community that provides Drupal and the contributed modules to you free of charge.
