476	Added new module: common/caps.py. This is the Capabilities c... Added new module: common/caps.py. This is the Capabilities centre of IVLE. It provides a Role class which is a rich enumeration type for Roles. The Role class will replace what has previously been simple strings used for Roles within the program. It has comparison ability to see if a Role is greater than or equal to another. This module also provides a set of capability objects which roles can be checked against. dispatch/login: Rather than setting 'rolenm' string in session, now sets 'role', a Role object. common/db: _escape allows Role objects, which get converted into strings. So the DB now accepts Role objects as values (though we don't make use of this currently). www/apps/tos: svn:ignore	mattgiuca	17 years ago

Commited some earlier changes to users.sql (not committed earlier due to misunderstanding :\|) Previous changes today actually depended on the database being updated with this schema. users.sql: Added "pending" option to login.state, and added a bunch of new fields to login: expiry timers, time of last login. login.py: Checks if account has expired. Sets last login. (Currently buggy with some XXXs, because we don't have a way to convert Python time values into SQL). db.py: Added last_login to list of allowable fields for login.	mattgiuca	17 years ago

472	db.py: No longer exceptions if password is not supplied. db.py: No longer exceptions if password is not supplied. makeuser: Converted explicit args into kwargs which are simply forwarded along to db. Makeuser db NO LONGER accepts "force" argument (which used to delete and replace login rows). This is dangerous, and we have removed the delete user functionality altogether - because we never delete users. makeuser.py (script): Major change. Replaced the command-line interface so it now only takes 3 required arguments, and a bunch of optional arguments getopts style. All the arguments are specified at the top; the rest of the code works with these data structures so they are only specified in one place (including all the work of putting them into a dict and passing it to the database). Note that makeuser.py is a second point of control for the list of the login fields (the other is in db.DB.login_fields_list). This is by design, because there is a semantic difference between "what fields are in the db" and "what arguments should we accept on the command line".	mattgiuca	17 years ago
471	doc/setup/ivle-svn.conf: a non-configured apache config for ... doc/setup/ivle-svn.conf: a non-configured apache config for the svn server more so it's on the record than because we want to retain it in the long term. makeuser.py: Add a function to query the database and regenerate the config file used to control authorization for the repositories.	drtomc	17 years ago
470	db: Added a field login_fields_list which is an ordered vers... db: Added a field login_fields_list which is an ordered version of the fields. listusers: Now sorts by login name, and uses db.login_fields_list to get the list of fields to print instead of hard-coding.	mattgiuca	17 years ago
469	db.py: Changed interface (again) to user management methods:... db.py: Changed interface (again) to user management methods: Changed the dict argument to **kwargs. (Did not do this for the low-level db methods, as all accesses to them should just be passing a dict anyway).	mattgiuca	17 years ago
468	db.py: Epic Refactor. db.py: Epic Refactor. Replaced all the user management methods with very generic methods that take dictionaries and will work for any DB table. Essentially this now provides us with a generic high-level database API. Then put all the user management methods back in, as simple wrappers to the generic methods. The user management methods, however, have all had their interfaces changed. They now take dictionaries of key:value pairs to be put in the DB instead of arguments. This serves 2 purposes: firstly, it's MUCH easier to add new fields now (2 or 3 points of control, down from about 7 points of control). Secondly, it allows None (NULL in SQL) to be distinguished from omitted fields (this particularly applies to update_user. Notes: Preserved some of the changes (the self-closing object) from r466 [conway]. Most of these have been lost in the refactor, and are no longer necessary as dicts are now general (do not need to explicitly specify keys). I am committing this checkpoint even though it will break makeuser. Need to make major changes to that anyway, so it might as well be broken for the time being.	mattgiuca	17 years ago

465	Added new app: userservice, which is an ajax service for use... Added new app: userservice, which is an ajax service for user management stuff. Currently tries (badly) to speak to usermgt for accepting the TOS and creating the user's junk.	mattgiuca	17 years ago
464	usermgt-server: Added email. usermgt-server: Added email. Also allowed optional args to be omitted.	mattgiuca	17 years ago
463	login.py: Added email to session. login.py: Added email to session.	mattgiuca	17 years ago
462	userdb/users.sql: Added email field to login. userdb/users.sql: Added email field to login. Propagated the email field through: listusers, makeuser, common.makeuser, common.db.	mattgiuca	17 years ago

There is now a sample license text (www/apps/tos/license). The "Help" app has a special link to the TOS app. login: Displays the license text on the TOS page for login-first-time users.	mattgiuca	17 years ago
