hi,
usually the hook "hook_node_access_records($node)" gets called when you hit the save-button on the edit page of a node. I need to call this function outside the edit-form.
I'm building a custom content-privacy module and I need to call this function for all existing nodes filtered by content-type (for example all blog nodes).
The problem I have is that this hook needs a node-object as a parameter. When being on a node-edit page (node/[NID]/edit) this object will be available. But when I don't edit a node I have no node-object available.
How can I create inside my module a node-object by myself to hand it over to the hook? I would need to create many node-object since I need to call this function for every existing node without going into each node to hit the save button on its edit page.
thanks for any help.
best regards.

I've figured out that the hook "hook_node_access_records" save data into the node_access table.
Let's say I want to save node access data for all blog entries created by the admin user.
I would select all nodes from the node table which have the type=blog and the uid=1. Than I could save the nid of those nodes to the node_access table (with the same pattern from the hook_node_access_records function). Would this work?
Where is the realm field of the node_access table also needed? Can I to come up with anything or does this have to be something specific?
Problem solved!
I solved the problem on my own. I'm not going to explain how I did it because I've no time right now but I will when I've got some spare time on my hands.
thanks anyway.
best regards.
