It was intended for 1.0, then got pushed to 1.1 which became 1.5, and now is sitting in 1.6 waiting for the chance to be released to the world ;-) phpGACL was what was originally intended to be implemented, however there were some challenges behind making that possible. Andrew Eddie is behind the current ACL work, so he's most definitely the best resource to ask that question to. I know the base tables were there even in the Mambo days, but we never implemented the logic to support it as it broke backwards compatibility. Ditto for the next implementation, methinks. As for phpGACL, the feedback I got was that most ACLs out there are good at answering one question, from the following list: 1) "Can I access this object?" 2) "Who can access this object?" The trouble is finding an ACL that is equally adept at doing both. -- Mitch _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
