The best way to extend Pier's user model?

by Matthias Berth

Hello, I want to give pier users additional attributes (first name, last name, email, etc). So far I was creating a subclass of PUUser. Would it be better to just extend PUUser by a few Magritte descriptions on the class side? When I load new versions of Pier-Unix-Security from Monticello, I guess my additional description methods would be deleted again? And if I put them into my own category *my-customizations (with a star in the name), monticello would leave them alone? And, on a related note, what if I want to change a method in Pier's core (like PULogin class>>isValidIn:), how do I avoid that the next load from monticello gives me that old version again? Cheers Matthias

[Enh] Pier-ExternalLogin

by Keith Hodges

A small framework to enable external validation plugins to be added and configured for Pier Login. I am using this with a plugin (not included yet) which validates the user/pass against a MYSQL query, then it logs in this user using an internally defined pier-user (or as I call it a "role") as a template. Finally I perform a second query to obtain a UserData record, and a potential invalidation is performed on "any other criteria", such as an account expiry date. You add your plugin by subclassing PUExternalValidationPlugin, and select the plugin to use in the application configuration. Finally your plugin gets the opportunity to customize the Login Dialog's descriptions. This enables you to customize the presentation of the dialog if you add Magritte-ComponentDecoration 's. You should also be able to add extra fields, though I leave this as an exercise for the reader. enjoy Keith

Documenting Pier...

by Matthias Berth

Hello, I'd like to collect some snippets of documentation about Pier. Would http://smallwiki.unibe.ch/smallwiki/pier/ be the right place to do so? I was not able to figure out a login to that wiki :-( Matthias

[bug] Copying Component settings crosstalk

by Keith Hodges

If you copy a component, it seems that the settings for both components are the same instance. There is no longer a ui to change the settings on the original (or is it the copy I am not sure which) Keith

[Enh] PRCommandLink

by Keith Hodges

PRCommandLink allows the following syntax *command:PULogin* to generate a link which performs that command. If the user is not authorized the link does not show. Alias's are supported in the normal manner: *Register Here>command:PRRegisterUserCommand* As an advanced example you can include command links in the dialogs of other commands by adding a PRComponentDecoration's to the description. e,g. PUMyLogin-description (super description) componentDecorations: (Array with: PRComponentDecoration); preAnnotation: 'If you do not have an account *Register Here>command:PRRegisterUserCommand*'; yourself. best regards Keith

[Enh] Pier-Shore

by Keith Hodges

Enable PierWidgets to make use of ShoreComponents. All you have to do is configure the application to use PRPierShoreFrame as the root component and all those great shore components are yours! best regards Keith p.s In this initial version there might be a very slight css effect from the shore css, but I tracked it down yet.

PRCommandsWidget: problem with collecting available commands?

by Matthias Berth

Hello, I have made a custom subclass of PULogin which will direct users to their homepage after they login. The Commands widget in Pier then shows both PULogin and my CustomLogin command. I'd like to hide PULogin, so I thought I make PULogin invalid (isValidIn: aContext returns false). Problem is that now I get CustomLogin listed twice in the widget. Here is the method, with some comments about what I think is going on PRommandsWidget>>items | commands command | commands := self context commands. "These are all allowed commands" ^ Array streamContents: [:stream | self commandClasses "These are all possible commands" do: [:class | command := commands detect: [:each | each = class or: [each inheritsFrom: class]] ifNone: []. "command is an allowed command that is a subclass of any of the command classes." command isNil ifFalse: [stream nextPut: command]]]. So it iterates over all possible commands (subclasses of PRCommand) and adds allowed commands if they inherit from one of them. My questions are: - What's the point of the inheritance check? - Shouldn't the list of commands in the widget be a subset of the commands allowed in the context? - Why shouldnt the widget just show the commands that the context allows? I'd like to understand this before I patch it :-) Cheers Matthias

Question with ICal-Magritte

by Brian Brown

I've started using the really excellent ICal package (thanks Phillipe!), and just loaded the ICal Magritte package. On ICCalendarEntry class>>descriptionUrl, the definition is: descriptionUrl ^(NAUrlDescription selector: #url label: 'Link' priority: 1000) beEditable; yourself NAUrlDescription is not defined anywhere - I would expect it to be named MAUrlDescription, but that isn't defined in my image either ;) Any ideas where I can get this class, or what else should be in here? Thanks! Brian
