Some Cool Notes:
  • bitweaver can act as a master or a slave for user accounts. This means you can easily bolt bitweaver into an existing, proprietary user account system. SingleSignOn is a piece of cake. To get this to work, create something like:

  • To create a custom user home page url, here is an example function you can put in your kernel/config_inc.php:
    function override_user_url( $pUserName ) {
        return 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/'.$pUserName;
    }


and add the following to path/to/bitweaver/.htaccess :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase     /
    RewriteRule     ^([A-Za-z0-9_]+)$       /users/index.php?home=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>




Development Notes:
exclaim We have created a "BitPermUser extends BitUser" class. This movee all groups and permission code into a single class. This makes it possible to have "BitGallery2User extends BitUser" if you wanted to use Gallery2Package group and permission tables.
exclaim we are also making it possible for normal users to create their own groups.
