Hi! Regarding 4): I have a version here, that uses Templates for the login-box via File::ShareDir's dist_file. There is default template (the current one) located at auto/CGI/Application/Plugin/Authentication and you can override the use of this template by specifying your own template file. Either way, load_tmpl() is called for a template file. I think this is what you indent by using the cgiapp's load_tmpl() method.
I would be happy to provide this as patch, however, it is not ready to use, as it was merely a test. It's based on the code of CAP::Authentication 0.12 and I don't have any tests for it atm. Another issue could propably be the fact, that using a template will most likely influence the performance of a script, because a template will be processed (including IO). Well, long story short: Here is the outdated source code of my test for customized login boxes: http://alex.intergastro-service.de/test/capauth/CAP-Authentication-test-lib. rar Here is a html file with source code of CAP::Authentication.pm: http://alex.intergastro-service.de/test/capauth/Authentication_pm.html If there is any interest in this, please tell me. I will try again to use a git repository to submit a patch against the current code in the repo. HTH, Alex -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von NP Bamber Gesendet: Donnerstag, 21. Januar 2010 14:41 An: [email protected] Betreff: [cgiapp] CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication I like CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication but I have hit a number of issues with it. So I contacted Cees and he kindly agreed to make me a co-maintainer so I can progress the module faster. My plans as they stand at the moment are: 1.) Please if you use this module in a way that is not covered by the current test suite please let me know and I will add it. This was a particular concern of Cees. 2.) There are two changes that have been submitted to github. I hope to get releases out that include these soon. 3.) Clean up the bugs listed in RT. I have prioritized those and started working through these. The test failures and security issues come high on my list. 4.) One particular issue for me is that I have had issues running the module under perl taint mode. I have traced this to the use of CGI::self_url in the login_box function. I have also noticed HTML validation issues with the login_box function. Now to me it seems that trying to fix login_box as a function that generates HTML is a bit of a loser's game. It breaks a backwards compatibility and every user who has an additional requirement adds to the complexity of the function. Of course the module provides several ways of setting the login form, but one of the nice things about the module is that it works out of the box. So what I would like to add is a smoother migration path away from out of the box behaviour. My preferred approach is to integrate this function more with the CGI::Application's "load_tmpl" function. That way the application can have a mini-template for the login box. I would be inclined to do the same for a "logout_button" function. 5.) I may introduce some Perl::Critic into the test suite. I usually find myself excluding most of the issues it brings up, but at least it makes one think about the code. <http://www.linkedin.com/e/sig/47231258/> ##### CGI::Application community mailing list ################ ## ## ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp ## ## ## ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ## ## ################################################################ Eingehende eMail ist virenfrei.
