New Drupal module from Kosada: Role Referral

Oct. 1, 2008 - PRLog -- Kosada Inc. ( http://kosada.com/ ) has written and released a module that allows easy access for viewers referred by specific approved links to content that would otherwise be obscured from anonymous users.

Drupal modules are plugins developed by the community that surrounds the open-source Drupal content management system. Drupal is based on PHP and also often makes use of JavaScript. The Role Referral module was written in PHP by Bradley Mellen, a recent addition to the Kosada development team.

The module description on http://drupal.org reads:

"Role Referral allows the assignment of roles to anonymous users who enter the site at a specific URL ([drupalsite]/referred) from a specified referring URL.

This module was developed to address a specific feature request by a client. Its primary intended use is in conjunction with an access control module (such as Taxonomy Access Control Lite, for instance), to make certain content hidden to the general public but immediately visible to anonymous visitors from certain pages (such as from the member-only section of the website of a partner organization) without them needing to first go through the hassle of creating an account."

This module can be downloaded from http://drupal.org/project/rolereferral .
It is currently available only for Drupal 6.x
