Re: [Pbwebgui-development] Idea: "My Home" page.

[Martin K. <ma...@pr...>]

Roy,

I you're trying the thing Nils-Magne talks about I think functionality 
like this could be created quite easily by using WobjectProxies and some 
code that put 'em on this 'home page'. Of course you also need some code 
to create the page and set the privilege correctly at user creation 
time. This could either be done by putting the setup code in a macro and 
put that Macro in the 'Run on registration field' or by writing your own 
auth handler. The latter approach is way safer the the first. If you 
were going down the Dark Macro Path be sure to have your macro return 
undef and have it check that $session{form}{op} is actually set to 
'createAccountSave'. That is with 5.x.x and lower auth system. I haven't 
toyed with the 6.x.x system yet, so I can't say to much about that.
