It'd be an... /interesting/ feature. Not sure how many people would find
it useful. It'd require a separation of user prefs, and address book
locations to handle (unless you're storing addresses in db/ldap), along
with a number of changes to store the local, and remote prefs differently.
I guess if you created your own prefs back end, it'd probably be okay,
you could handle everything in there. For example,
functions/db_prefs.php... Do a simple check, this is pseudo code as I'm at
work, and cannot really check...
Any calls to things like $db->getKey that contains the username, you'd do
something like this:
if ((first 3 octets of remove_ip) != (first 3 octets of local ip)) {
return $db->getKey($username . '_remote', $string, $default);
} else {
return $db->getKey($username, $string, $default);
}
That'd probably do it (example, and untested)... you'd have to repeat
something similar in the setPref function, and removePref function too.
Now if you're using file based prefs, the changes would probably be a
little easier, you can probably handle all the changes inside the function
"cachePrefValues", you'd use a similar kind of comparision as above around
anything that sets the file name/location.
