There's no way you can really make this work as far as I know (cookies can be removed, IP address can be the same for different users because a proxy is used). The protection based on age should be a little bit easier. You can add an age selection box in the user account and then use the automated user placement extension to put the different ages in different user groups (to which different policies are assigned): http://ez.no/community/contribs/workflow/automated_user_placement_for_ez_publish_3_8 independent eZ Publish developer and service provider \| http://blog.coomanskristof.be \| http://ezpedia.org

Kristof Coomans	Thursday 22 February 2007 4:13:29 am Hi Nathan So I was thinking too far :-) Maybe you can write a custom cronjob that changes the section of an article (to a section the anonymous user has read access on) once it is old enough to be released to everyone? independent eZ Publish developer and service provider \| http://blog.coomanskristof.be \| http://ezpedia.org

Hi Nathan

So I was thinking too far :-)

Maybe you can write a custom cronjob that changes the section of an article (to a section the anonymous user has read access on) once it is old enough to be released to everyone?
