RE: [Phpwebsite-developers] New version and Roadmap [long]

[Alain F. <al...@va...>]

Hello Todd,

I have deleted your quote and I'll get straight to the point :).

1. I am unsure about the idea to have more OU's from a single database.
Having a single database for many different OU's will not make tasks like
backups and restores easier! Also, what is wrong with the idea to provide
some kind of interface between the various databases that would allow you to
exchange information easily between the various OU's? Although I can
understand your idea about the single database for many OU's, practise shows
that this is very often combined with administrative nightmares (backups,
optimization, relocation to a new machine, etc).

2. About the permissions problem you were referring to (one or two 'r' here?
I can have it wrong, I'm a Luxembourger). I really like the Windows NT/2000
platform :). And what I most like about it, is the very powerful and
flexible permissions system. Can't we somehow do something along those lines
for phpWebSite? That would mean to have users, groups that users can belong
to, and "user and group roles". For instance: in order to post a news item,
you need to have the "news editor role". If the user alain either has the
"news editor role", or is member of a group having the "news editor role",
he can post a piece of news. That wouold be very flexible actually.

Thanks for reading !
