Due to the diplomatic winds blowing in sweden, I find myself needing
to extend my book-keeping system into a full fledged membership
database for some 10,000 students.
Now, since I'm using a boltwire site mostly as as a front-end to the
underlying databases, I find myself needing to abandon boltwires'
login system in order to use the member-database directly.
This isn't difficult.
What is, however, annoying is that I cannot do this in a way that will
be transparent to boltwire.
I would have to use my own ingroup, login, logout functions, and the
rest of the site will have to be re-written in order to obey these
memberships. Further, the auth-functions (read, write) will not obey
the new, real, group memberships.
This could be fixed with the old myBOLTfunction concepts.
Thus, if possible, I would like BOLTingroup to be given the following
line of code:
if (function_exists('myBOLTingroup')) return myBOLTingroup($group,
$id, $new);
I would also prefer if the BOLTXlogin command could be changed into a
wrapper, moving the actual login commands into
BOLTlogin($id, $password, $member)
(pick out the relevant strings from $BOLTarray in the command, send
the result into the real login function)
with an available myBOLTlogin function option. Given how brilliantly
adaptable BoltWire is in other respects, this change would make sense.
The BOLTXlogout command would be changed in much the same way.
Quite apart from making my life a lot easier, login and logout feel
like they should be system functions to me. Much like how the
BOLTarray shouldn't be needed in anything but commands, the session
information and other global variables should be written to only in
logical places, namely, the engine. Of course, that's just me being
pedantic.
