I have a custom content type in drupal that I’m allowing even anonymous users to create. I would like to also give them the ability to come back and edit their creations after they’ve first published it, but that’s the challenge.
Since they are “anonymous”, I would guess there’s no way for the drupal permissions system to tie the content back to the user that originally created it.
Where does that leave me? I’m thinking browser cookies or something along those lines? I’m not sure.
Is there an existing module that could help with this, or ideas to create a new one?
In Drupal or any system really.. its best to rely on a key and from experience, its easier to have them register. In Drupal, if a person is anon, they are UID 0 and not much else is saved about them. Another user pointed out in another post that Drupal does not track session IDs for anonymous users objects, so you would have to work with something like session_id().
I can see why you’d want little barrier to post but it might be a management nightmare later.
