Hi all,
I want to start a community site based on many users and content. Could
you please help me choosing the best kind of usertypes i should build
on, if i want to extend userdata but keep migration in mind for future
upgrades. a feature i would like to include are custom 'cropped' user
portraits with custom sizes, i successfully implemented this already
into custom membrane types - but did never try to upgrade this site.
so which kind of user or userfolder do you recommend?
* implement custom users based on membrane. i think the nicest way to
do this, but may break compatibility on future plone releases.
Unless you have fancy requirements for members being object, avoid
membrane+remember.
i agree with this in general, although the things that would make remember a
good choice aren't really what i consider "fancy". here's the core list of
what remember gives you that can't be done easily w/ default Plone right now:
- efficient member searching (ESPECIALLY if you've got lots and lots of members)
- multiple member types, where each type has a different schema
- workflow-ability of member objects
- auto-generated join and profile edit UI
of these, i find the last to be the least compelling, and if that's the only
reason you're considering membrane+remember i'd warn you away. if you're
expecting to have many thousands of users, however, and you want to make
queries against the member data w/ any regularity, it's probably a good choice.
