function node_access_rebuild in Drupal 6

Same name and namespace in other branches

1. 8 core/modules/node/node.module \node_access_rebuild()
2. 5 modules/node/node.module \node_access_rebuild()
3. 7 modules/node/node.module \node_access_rebuild()
4. 9 core/modules/node/node.module \node_access_rebuild()
5. 10 core/modules/node/node.module \node_access_rebuild()

Rebuild the node access database. This is occasionally needed by modules that make system-wide changes to access levels.

When the rebuild is required by an admin-triggered action (e.g module settings form), calling node_access_needs_rebuild(TRUE) instead of node_access_rebuild() lets the user perform his changes and actually rebuild only once he is done.

Note : As of Drupal 6, node access modules are not required to (and actually should not) call node_access_rebuild() in hook_enable/disable anymore.

Parameters

$batch_mode: Set to TRUE to process in 'batch' mode, spawning processing over several HTTP requests (thus avoiding the risk of PHP timeout if the site has a large number of nodes). hook_update_N and any form submit handler are safe contexts to use the 'batch mode'. Less decidable cases (such as calls from hook_user, hook_taxonomy, hook_node_type...) might consider using the non-batch mode.

The core that allows content to be submitted to the site. Modules and scripts may programmatically submit nodes using the usual form API pattern.

Code

function node_access_rebuild($batch_mode = FALSE) {
  db_query("DELETE FROM {node_access}");

  // Only recalculate if the site is using a node_access module.
  if (count(module_implements('node_grants'))) {
    if ($batch_mode) {
      $batch = array(
        'title' => t('Rebuilding content access permissions'),
        'operations' => array(
          array(
            '_node_access_rebuild_batch_operation',
            array(),
          ),
        ),
        'finished' => '_node_access_rebuild_batch_finished',
      );
      batch_set($batch);
    }
    else {

      // Try to allocate enough time to rebuild node grants
      if (function_exists('set_time_limit')) {
        @set_time_limit(240);
      }
      $result = db_query("SELECT nid FROM {node}");
      while ($node = db_fetch_object($result)) {
        $loaded_node = node_load($node->nid, NULL, TRUE);

        // To preserve database integrity, only aquire grants if the node
        // loads successfully.
        if (!empty($loaded_node)) {
          node_access_acquire_grants($loaded_node);
        }
      }
    }
  }
  else {

    // Not using any node_access modules. Add the default grant.
    db_query("INSERT INTO {node_access} VALUES (0, 0, 'all', 1, 0, 0)");
  }
  if (!isset($batch)) {
    drupal_set_message(t('Content permissions have been rebuilt.'));
    node_access_needs_rebuild(FALSE);
    cache_clear_all();
  }
