Yes I think that's right. I'll take a look at it tomorrow, unless someone else speaks up before then to say they're working on it. I wrote the userauth stuff with the idea that it would be expanded to be able to authenticate (i.e. with passwords) registered users (other than admin). However, that step is currently waiting on the specification/development of some sort of user database API (and all the forms, etc. needed to register and authenticate users) --- this is another area where it would be nice if we could find some "standard" PHP library code which does what we want. My one concern is that the non-authenticated userid's be added in a way that will be forward-compatible with authenticated userid's in the future. (I'm sure it's possible, it just takes some thought and care.) Jeff |
