WebLoginPE 1.3.0 Feature Requests

I think some image cropping and resizing would be nice for the avatar upload section. Perhaps even store the original at 300x300 in the back end for reference.

I don’t know if something like this could be integrated somehow but in a more specific manner.

Something like the way Google does it would be nice.

How about OpenID support? Since Yahoo is going to use it now and AIM does too now.

FEATURE REQUEST:

customize the name of the login cookie.

REASON:

cookie by default is called "WebLoginPE"

which is great if I’m the only person using WebLoginPE
but as Modxcms becomes the world standard CMS of choice, and millions of sites start using WebLoginPE (if they don’t already) then the cookie for multiple sites is called WebLoginPE - will this cause a conflict - if the cookie for Retrogaming.info tries to login with the password for ratemyboobs.com which also uses webloginPE?? (Or am I missing something?)

No, they don’t use MODx.

Anyway, cookies are keyed to the domain they are received from. So you can have a dozen cookies with the same name (in fact, you probably do).

Hi ScottyD,


A really needed feature suggestion :

As far as I know, I can’t figure out how MODx handle a limited life time account (for Webuser) ..?

I mean, does WLPE can create account with something like this:
&duration=`8` (or &lifetime or whatever consistant)

duration would be in ’days’ and ’0’ could mean endless account.


May be this can be done otherway. If so, may be one can tell me how ?

thank you

Would like to see an official release with pagination. I know there are some unofficial mods on the forum but I’m uncomfortable adding them only to have them wiped out in the next release, especially if it doesn’t include pagination. It’s easy to see how this is useful especially for the users and manager pages with more than, say, 20 users. Thanks for everything so far!

If Scotty did a 1.3.1 release w/ the bugfixes since 1.3.0, I’d imagine adding pagination wouldn’t be that difficult.

We do need an update w/ the bugfixes included, though --- too many people have posted the same issues that were fixed a while ago, but were stuck in the 30-page topic in the Repistory topic, or in the Bug Fixes topic here.

Scotty will likely remember the issues I had trying to find a way to get checkboxes to output something besides "on" or nothing at all. Well, I finally did it!  Use checkboxes just like Scotty explains in the documentation. Now, here’s the slight difference...

Normally, WLPE will return either on or a "blank" value. This hack I created takes advantage of it by having the filename named to something weird like png2 (that no program would ever use). Now, that’s gonna obviously give a 404 error, because it’s pointing to a file that doesn’t exist, and shouldn’t exist.

Before you do the next step, create an onoff.png (like a checkmark) and off.png (1x1 completely transparent) file --- you’ll need this later.

That’s where the magic of .htaccess comes into play. Add this to your .htaccess file in the root of where you installed MODx CMS...



Note that the [r=301,nc] will not work (dunno why) --- but it’s not like Google’s gonna search for this.

If you did everything correctly on.png2 will redirect to onoff.png, and the "blank" .png2 will redirect to off.png. It’s a somwhat crude hack, but it works w/out the user having to do anything. 

(For those who were wondering, getting to this point took almost four hours total...tested almost 20 different ways w/ failures before getting to this idea that worked. xd)

If WebLoginPE could interface with OpenID or was compatible as a provider, that would be cool to.

Definitely agree - OpenID would be great.

I would like to see a new parameter added to WebLoginPE named &groupStatus or groupStatusChange or something along those lines.

[!WebLoginPE? &type=`register` &groupStatus=`Cadets,New Applicants,Limited`!]

• When called with &type=`register` it would show checkboxes for each "optional" group that we let them be a part of.
• When used with &type=`user` it would show the specified groups and preload the checked or or empty status, allowing the user to add or remove themselves from a web user group.
• When used with &type=`manager` it would be nice to have an `*all*` group to show every available web user group for managers to add or remove a user from any group. Or just automatically include it into the manager interface with no switches.

It might also be handy to have a wildcard option where you could specify groups like `subscriber-*all*` which might then show a list of user groups that started with "subscriber-" ie. subscriber-technews, subscriber-electronics, subscriber-magazine , etc.

I did make some little modifications to webloginPE. Now I only have to put placeholders in the editprofil-form for the groups I want to edit and i have Radiobuttons with Yes and No for adding or deleting the user to a group. You do not need any additional parameters for this work. I can post my changes here if anybody is interested.

Here are my modifications:
In function SaveUserProfile($internalKey = ’’):

// von Bruno
$web_groups = $modx->getFullTableName(’web_groups’);
// Ende von Bruno

foreach ($_POST as $field => $value)
{

// von Bruno
if (strpos(’ ’.$field,’webgroup_’)>0){

if ($_POST[$field]<0){
$webgroup=$_POST[$field]*(-1);

$deleteFromGroups = $modx->db->query("DELETE FROM ".$web_groups." WHERE `webuser`=’".$internalKey."’ AND `webgroup`=’".$webgroup."’");
}
if ($_POST[$field]>0){
$webgroup=$_POST[$field];
$deleteFromGroups = $modx->db->query("DELETE FROM ".$web_groups." WHERE `webuser`=’".$internalKey."’ AND `webgroup`=’".$webgroup."’");
$groupCheck = $modx->db->query("SELECT * FROM ".$web_groups." WHERE `webuser`=’".$internalKey."’ AND `webgroup`=’".$webgroup."’");
$limit = $modx->db->getRecordCount($groupCheck);
if ($limit == 0)
{
$addtogroup = $modx->db->query("INSERT INTO ".$web_groups."(`webuser`, `webgroup`) VALUES (’".$internalKey."’, ’".$webgroup."’)");
}
}
}
// Ende von Bruno


in function ViewUserProfile($username,$inputHandler)


// von Bruno Perner input placeholders for editing webgroups.
$web_groups = $modx->getFullTableName(’web_groups’);
$webgroup_names = $modx->getFullTableName(’webgroup_names’);
$groupNames = $modx->db->query("SELECT * FROM ".$webgroup_names);
$usergroups = $modx->db->query("SELECT " .$webgroup_names.".id as id,name FROM ".$web_groups."," .$webgroup_names." WHERE ".$web_groups.".`webuser` = ’".$userID."’ AND ".$webgroup_names.".`id` = ".$web_groups.".`webgroup`");
$iG=0;
while ($row = $modx->db->getRow($usergroups)){
$allgroups[$iG] = $row[’name’];
$iG=$iG+1;
}
$iH=10000;
if ($groupNames){
while ($row = $modx->db->getRow($groupNames)){
$groupname = $row[’name’];
$groupid = $row[’id’];

$inputHandler[$iH] = $groupname.’:wlpeUserProfileWebgroup_’.$groupname.’:webgroup_’.$groupname.’:radio:Ja(’.$groupid.’),Nein(’.$groupid*(-1).’)’;
if (in_array($groupname, $allgroups)){
$viewUser[’webgroup_’.$groupname]=$groupid;
}else{
$viewUser[’webgroup_’.$groupname]=$groupid*(-1);
}
$iH=$iH+1;
}
}

// End von Bruno
foreach ($inputHandler as $value)


The Placeholder: [+form.webgroup_YourGroupName+]
