[ANNOUNCEMENT] LiveUser-0.13.2 (beta) Released.

The new PEAR package LiveUser-0.13.2 (beta) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- - in getGroups() in /Admin/Perm DB groups. was appended to the sql query with implode, which didn't work for the is_active part since CASE needs to be before groups.is_active - add check on the third and fourth parameter to avoid a warning from older code in addUser/updateUser in /Admin/Auth - addUser() in the Admin class has a BC break since it wasn't synced with addUser of Auth - Same goes with updateUser from the Admin Class - Making sure that optinalFields and customFields are array in addGroup/editGroup - When neither optional nor custom array was supplied to addGroup/editGroup/addUser it would fail. - Removed sql parts which used scope, since we removed it from the create table statements - Now all implied rights are removed before the right it self is removed - Now all subgroup assignments are removed before removing the group it self - Now user is removed after all groups that he/she was owner of has set the owner_user_id to NULL - When assigning a subgroup now one can't assign a group as it's own parent. - Bug #2206 fixed, now more then one level of subgroups is displayed and getGroups has been optiomized, no more intensive database querying. - Now if a assigning a subgroup, it gives back a error if the group id and subgroup id have been added before in another record, that is if the group id has been added as a subgroup id for the current subgroup id (confusing when one explains, but the fix stops a potential silly loop in getGroups) - Crypt_RC4 wasn't loaded because of a typo - fixed direct passing of remember parameter to the LiveUser::factory() method (fix for bug #2491) - fixed critical bug in writeable checking inside LiveUser::_storeCookiePasswdId() (fix for bug #2492) - The group table was updated so now group_define_name is default NULL and allows NULL values. - set proper default type in LiveUser_Admin::addUser() Package Info ------------- LiveUser is a set of classes for dealing with user authentication and permission management. Basically, there are three main elements that make up this package: * The LiveUser class * The Auth containers * The Perm containers The LiveUser class takes care of the login process and can be configured to use a certain permission container and one or more different auth containers. That means, you can have your users' data scattered amongst many data containers and have the LiveUser class try each defined container until the user is found. For example, you can have all website users who can apply for a new account online on the webserver's local database. Also, you want to enable all your company's employees to login to the site without the need to create new accounts for all of them. To achieve that, a second container can be defined to be used by the LiveUser class. You can also define a permission container of your choice that will manage the rights for each user. Depending on the container, you can implement any kind of permission schemes for your application while having one consistent API. Using different permission and auth containers, it's easily possible to integrate newly written applications with older ones that have their own ways of storing permissions and user data. Just make a new container type and you're ready to go! Currently available are containers using: PEAR::DB, PEAR::MDB, PEAR::MDB2, PEAR::XML_Tree and PEAR::Auth.
