Hi people,
I got valuable feedback from the first beta-testers (thank you!)
and now there are some issues that need to be addressed:
The main snippet includes some PHP constants that provide all
the necessary stuff for running midHoo on your system and
fulfill your needs as far as the snippet code is concerned
(pages are the user's domain). I'd like to extract those from
the snippet and store them elsewhere (but where?) or use
autoconf for setting these in the xml package (which would
complicate an update). Emile offered some autoconf wizardry --
what do you think?
Next problem: I've got a standard guest user and group midHoo
needs in order to be able to create articles as an
unauthenticated user. I think I should include those into the
package as well, which shouldn't be a problem using repligard.
But there's also one of those above-mentioned constants,
MIDHOO_AUTHOR_ID (the id of the person that will be defined as
author of those articles created by the guest user), and I'd
like to link its value to the guest person's id -- without
making guest the snippet's owner ... is that even possible?
Or would it be better for users to have to create the guest user
and group themselves (or use already existing ones) and just
tell configure their names and the author's id?
BTW, about the il8n stuff: I'm treating the pages I'm
distributing just as example pages for the use of midHoo in the
user's own web site -- not as a part of midHoo itself. Such,
there's only one(!) string value in the Snippet that's not
already a configuration value: The template for the e-mail
notification of new links. There aren't any system messages in
this version of midHoo, as midHoo just returns documented error
values and, if possible, the return of $mgd_errstr(). No real
need for localization, hm?
