Meanwhile, since you posted your nice example of code, may I give some advices of best practices that might not be obvious, and could be useful to other developers wishing to extend Invenio?
Always welcome, of course.
def index(req, f=None, doi=None, c=CFG_SITE_NAME, ln=CFG_SITE_LANG): """ This interface should get parameters by URL and return names """ uid = getUid(req) docroot = req.subprocess_env['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] # TODO these configs shouldn't live here! perl = '/usr/bin/perl' scriptpath = docroot+'/cgi-bin/'Note that the docroot is always available in invenio.config.CFG_WEBDIR,
Ok. I wasn't aware of that.
if uid > 0:Beware that uid > 0 is not a guarantee that your user is authenticated. That depends on the variable CFG_WEBSESSION_DIFFERENTIATE_BETWEEN_GUESTS. The best way to check if a user is a guest is to use invenio.webuser.isGuestUser(uid) or to use the swiss-army-knife invenio.webuser.collect_user_info(req), which will return a dictionary with all sorts of information about the user, including a key "guest" which will say "1" if the user is guest or "0" otherwise (as a string).
Ok, I'll correct that as well. :) -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Subject Specialist Central Library 52425 Juelich mail : [email protected] phone: +49 2461 61-1586 Fax : +49 2461 61-6103 www.fz-juelich.de/zb/DE/zb-fi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH 52425 Juelich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Juelich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Dueren Nr.
