<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I took a look to the sample_user and sample_admin
phtml files to try a simple authorization feature in Chameleon. I was able to
setup a demo application with authorization capabilities but I found that
destroing sessions (for example when you clean the tmp directory) also destroy
the sql_lite dbase in wich passwords are probably stored, so I have modified
the examples above to write and read files in another directory. It works ! so
I can clean up the tmp directory without having to define each time the
authorized users. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Is it a correct approach ? or for some reason I can’t
figure out, the dbase must reside in the tmp directory ?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Another question; at this point, when you have
authorized an user, how can you provide different functionality to your
application ? I have seen that one approach could be serving different
templates based upon the user name logged, but this of corse requires a lot of
customization work. Other approaches ?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
