Claim Node Ownership

Background

In some cases, it is required to allow users to claim authorship of a particular node.

For example:

• (original motivation of this module) After running Path Copier, you want users to find their nodes and claim authorship and then modify the node themselves.
• ... ...

Introduction

Allow registered users to claim authorship of a particular node. The module will store the history of who have made claims. Site administrators can set who can make claim.

How it Works

The process of claiming a node is as follows.

1. A node of a type that can be claimed is made by AUTHOR
2. Node is viewed by USER, WHO has a role with permission to claim
3. AUTHOR gets (optional) email notification about the claim.
4. AUTHOR navigates to node and approves (via approval link) ownership change. If there are multiple claims a table of past claims will be displayed
5. USER now is the author of the node

To-do:

Below are features that seem to be incomplete in the existing release or are planned features for the future of Claim Node Ownership.

To Finish:

• Allow registered users to vote on if a claim is legitimate
• Allow registered users to report a spam claim to administrator

To Add:

• Setting claimability per node. In progress at #1020200
• Added auto claiming based on users token or chalenge set by current node owner
