Is there no way to restrict access to individual chunks?

Not at this time, but restricting access to all kinds of Elements is going to be added post-2.0.0 release.

Sorry, but I don’t agree with (or maybe don’t understand) your analysis here; and it most definitely is not a bug. Resources are accessible by everyone unless you assign it to a Resource Group and assign an Access Control for a User Group to that Resource Group. Why would you assign it to a Resource Group and explicitly define that a particular User Group should be able to access it if everyone already has access to it?

Yes, you’re absolutely correct in that the ACLs weren’t the issue here; however, it DID turn out to be a bug. The problem ended up having to do with the system allowing users to authenticate to the backend "mgr" context, and then not showing the user as authenticated to the "web" context; however, once authenticated to the "web" context using the same browser session but a different user account, weird things happen. The system recognizes the user as logged into the "web" context as the regular-level user, but then you can’t log out (except from the back-end "mgr" context, which would then successfully log you out of the "web" context as well), and other strangeness occurs.

Chunks are by definition an Element of global scope. Categories are not in any way involved in scope and are there for organizational purposes in the Manager only.

I understand what you’re saying; I just don’t agree with it. If it’s to be used for organizational purposes aesthetically, in a system as highly OOP-oriented as MODx, I would expect it to be used for organizational purposes when writing classes and snippets as well. That’s just one man’s opinion, though. I certainly won’t tell you how to code your system from a fundamental standpoint.

Is there a release date for a beta version of WebloginPE for Revolution?

It looks like it’s there now in SVN (if I’m reading the log correctly).

Sorry, did I just miss something or am I just stupid ... WebLoginPE is suitable/available for "Revolution" ...???

A week ago I did a sample Revolution installation on my local server and there is no download link for WebloginPE available, neither does an addon appear to be available within the "Extras"! (only for Evolution!)

Thanks

The Login transport package has much of what is in wlpe.
Wlpe itself is not available now for Revo.

So I wonder if there are any updates to this yet?

What would be the best practice to go about implementing some sort of a OpenId authentication?

many thanks...
