Ok, I have a completely different approach. I take midgard (mostly) as a templating system with great support for administering the styles and articles. Mainly I want to use the admin part of it, and want to register only users who have write access on the site: coders, designers and article writers. Anyway, the article admin part needs to be rewritten, as (on my site, in particular) there are many meta-info which I want to store with an article, for example categories, keywords etc., which need a more user-friendly interface than the pure parameters (e.g., choose it from a tree). There is no place in the midgard database for data which doesn't part of the main data of the site. More understandable: I put in the midgard db only data from the site's trusted workers. I don't want to store in midgard the data of the _users_ of the site, as there is no need to reach that data from the admin interface. I will have a separate database with users' tables, etc. I write a snippet which does the authentication into the site, when it is needed (for restricted areas, forum, chat etc.), and write the glue which authenticates the user for every subsystem of the site whose author was not me (nadmin, for example). If I cannot evade it (e.g., I don't have the time to completely rewrite that program), this 'glue' thing may include to create mirror tables what the subsystem uses (readonly, of course). One of my problem is the authentication for checking whether is the user is allowed to view a page(tree). I can reimplement it in php, but it would be much work and would be much slower than if I could use something like mod_auth_mysql. Unfortunately, I cannot make .htaccess files if I use midgard. :( Fery --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
