I've been working with UserKit this week and I have a few questions
maybe one of you could help me with.
1) What is the externalId that can be used to reference clients?
2) How can I keep the the user object in memory between pages?
My plan is to optionally authenticate users, and display different
content depending on the user. User creation works fine, but I'm having
trouble tracking logins throughout a session.
Right now, I have a page named UserTest. With the following code I can
log them in without problem.
mgr = UserManagerToFile()
mgr.login(user, password)
I'm guessing I need to place the code in a superclass like a
UKSecurePage, but I'm not sure. The SecurePage class in the examples
context might help me out, but does anyone have any other suggestions?
3) How would *you* handle preferences?
I've simply creating a parameter in each user like user._prefs =
{ dictionary }, and then accessing _prefs by key. Although this seems
to work, is there any official way to store extra info about users using
UserKit? I couldn't find anything about it in the class desc. or
documentation.
I was also wondering why so many of the variables are named like _name
or _password? I've seen this sort of naming convention a lot in python,
but I'm unsure of what cases this is used in.
Thanks.
