[binarycloud-dev] Permissions in R2

[Benjamin D. S. <be...@be...>]

Read the spec for R2, and the permissions class seems incomplete - let me 
give a scenario: 

We have a "settings" page, used to display and update settings for a portion 
of the site. (preferences, etc) 

We want to display the current settings, and, if you are an authenticated 
user, allow you to change them. 

If you don't have alter permissions, we just don't show you the buttons in 
the form, nor do we allow you to save anything. 

So, we want to know: 
	1) Who are you (supported) 
	2) Do you have permissions to view this file/page? (supported) 
	3) Do you have permission to a particular block of functionality within this 
file/page? (apparently unsupported) 

How can this be supported given the current level of the spec?

ok.
so far we support all of that without a problem.

absolutely supported :)

we do that by specifying what roles have permissions to do what operations
on entities.

for example a public user can "edit" but not "create" preferences for their
userid.

so roles control both access to URIs, _and_ entity operations.

I will update the spec as soon as auth/perm is done. I think once those
components are complete it makes sense to go back through and update the
spec to match what we're doing.

[binarycloud-dev] Post install errors...

[Angel H. <an...@ho...>]

After installing the latest version of BinaryCloud R1, everything seemed to
go smooth except for the following errors:

How do I clear this up?

Thanks,

Angel

[binarycloud-dev] First BinaryCloud Pages...

[Angel H. <an...@ho...>]

Ok this is my _first day_ with BinaryCloud, so please be easy on me! :-)

After examining various files, classes and the file structure of BC, I'm
still struggling just to get an index page to appear in a new directory.

Here's what I'm tried:

1) Create a "photography" directory in htdocs
2) Put a plain ol HTML file in ../binarycloud/user/mod/static_pages
3) Copied the index file from htdocs to the photography dir
4) Edited the index file now in photography, and changed the filename in the
array to match that of my HTML file without the extension.

Result = A blank page.

If I move this exact index file to htdocs it will work, but not from the
photography directory. I know it must be a problem with the templates and
path, but I haven't been able to figure out what needs to be changed.

I tried creating a masters/photography.phtml template based on the
storm.phtml template, and then changing the index file to use the new
template, but still no luck.

I'm totally excited over the potential of this system, but a bit frustrated
trying to break that first layer of ice!

Thanks,

Angel

for your first mail:

    -edit user/conf/file_permissions.conf, remove the whitespace at the
bottom of the file.
    -the "0 length" is a broken bread_crumbs_and_tabs lib, I suggest you
edit user/tmpl/masters/binarycloud.phtml and remove the reference to it
(you'll see a bit of php with breadcrumbs! comments around it.


here, you must add an entry to user/conf/file_permissions.conf for your new
file. it would also be appropriate to add your new directory to the
directories array (at the bottom of that same file)

your page should execute fine, as soon as you put it in there.

---------

Don't spend too much time with r1, r2 is a hell of a lot easier to
understand coming in because of the classes.

though I might have to backpedal on that because we _are_ using makefiles :)

[Angel H. <an...@ho...>]

Cool, thanks!

I edited the permissions page, and my new directory page now displays fine.
But I'm still getting the breadcrumbs error even after removing all
references in bc_master.phtml.

Re: [binarycloud-dev] First BinaryCloud Pages...

[alex b. <en...@tu...>]

oh, yes, that's right.
we include it in prepend.

edit user/conf/prepend.inc and take out the ref to bread_crumbs_and_tabs.lib
