node_access_needs_rebuild

• Drupal 6
• Drupal 7

Versions

6 – 7

node_access_needs_rebuild($rebuild = NULL)

Flag / unflag the node access grants for rebuilding, or read the current value of the flag.

When the flag is set, a message is displayed to users with 'access administration pages' permission, pointing to the 'rebuild' confirm form. This can be used as an alternative to direct node_access_rebuild calls, allowing administrators to decide when they want to perform the actual (possibly time consuming) rebuild. When unsure the current user is an adminisrator, node_access_rebuild should be used instead.

Parameters

$rebuild (Optional) The boolean value to be written.

• @return (If no value was provided for $rebuild) The current value of the flag.
