[Openinteract-help] Application Question.

[Timothy M. A. <ti...@ad...>]

Hello, list!

First off, thanks to Andreas and Teemu for the replies. They gave me a
good brain-kick. I'm still a bit overwhelmed with the volume of stuff
there is to OI, but I'll figure it out eventually.

Yesterday, I started playing with the administration site for the
project I'm working on and immediately ran into something I can't quite
figure out. The design specs have my project broken into two distinct
pieces: 1) the general user's site, where they can fiddle with the
different settings of their account and other actions; and 2) the
administration site, where my company can go in and fiddle with the
users. :-) The default site has these actions combined into one site.
The main reason for this is financial; we're going to have most of the
credit card chargeback processing and the like on an internal
web-server, firewalled off from the rest of the world.

Getting down to work, I tried to remove all of the "boxes" and such from
the /index.html document and create just a login box. The thing is, I
can't seem to figure out how to get the user information to display
anywhere other than in the user info box. I know there's something I'm
just not grokking here. So, I wanted the template to do something like
this pseudo-code:

[%- IF user.authenticated -%]
 ( Display boxes )
 ( Display default welcome page )
[%- ELSE -%]
 ( Display Login Form )
[%- END -%]

The entire admin app should be locked down, requiring the user to be
logged in before any page to be displayed.

Any hints?

Thanks!
