How to make a page visible only to users with permission to use the administration theme?

Question

I have created a basic page which I only want to be viewable by people who have access to the administration theme.

I have given the page a path of admin/shipping-help but to my surprise the page is visible to anonymous visitors, nor does the page display in the admin theme.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 3

A basic page is a node. It will be on the internal node/% path. Giving it an alias of admin/shipping-help is not going to change that. You need it to be on admin/... internal path.

Create a new entry for hook_menu with your admin path and display the node in question:

function MODULE_menu(){
  $items = array();
  $items['admin/shipping-help'] = array(
    'title' => "Shipping Help",
    'page callback' => 'MODULE_shipping_help',
    'access arguments' => array('access administration menu'),
  );

  return $items;
}

function MODULE_shipping_help() {
  $node = node_load(70);
  if ($node) {
    return node_view($node);
  }
}

Then set the node in question to unpublished to protect it from unauthorised access from node/% path. You can even intercept a request for that path and redirect to the admin path.
