#22 Allow User Who Adds Book Ability to Delete
I would like the ability for my users to delete a book that
they have added. On my site,
www.recycledbookclub.com, I have users add books
that they are trading. I currently have them submit
modifications to delete books that have been traded, but
I would like the user who adds a book to have the ability
to delete or modify a book entry he or she submitted
without having to have admin rights to access the admin
section of books. In other words, no one (except admin)
can delete or modify another user's book, but the
individual user who added that book can delete or
modify it.
I would also like for users to be able to access a list of
his or her books in the inventory - in "My Account," he
or she should be able to click on a link to access the
books he or she has added to the database.
Thanks! nokturnalmuse

This is a very specific usage of the books module. The
problem is that the content of the submitter is not
authenticated : if the user is not a registered one the field is
empty so if another unregistered come after he will have the
right to delete all the books entered by all unregistered users.
Look at what currently happend to comments or forums
posts on ALL websites : a registered user make a post and
after realize that he has not entered his login so the post is
labeled as Anonymous. You will have to deal with this
problem as well. I need to think to all the problems involved
before implementing this feature if ever.
