From Revision 484 to 465

484	lib/common/db.py: Fixed a cascading error if the constructor... lib/common/db.py: Fixed a cascading error if the constructor throws an exception (before self.open is set).	mattgiuca	17 years ago

480	doc/setup/install_proc.txt doc/setup/install_proc.txt * mentioned command to drop database (for cases when the schema was changed) * updated command line argument info for makeuser.py * listed roles * moved apt-get for apache to the top section with other apt-gets makeuser.py * changed variable name "dict" to "user" (shouldn't redefine dict!) * added -x flag to make it possible to set state (e.g. -x enabled) (failed attempt to get around problem that accepting TOS doesn't work)	stevenbird	17 years ago
479	userservice: svn:ignore userservice: svn:ignore	mattgiuca	17 years ago
478	scripts/usrmgr-server: Renamed actions from dashes to unders... scripts/usrmgr-server: Renamed actions from dashes to underscores. (Consistency). accept_user returns a dict instead of None. apps.py: Turned off auth for userservice (otherwise requests can't come thru from a user who is not activated; dispatch blocks such requests). Userservice does its own auth from now on. userservice: Now makes the call to usrmgt-server for accept_me. Does authentication (since we can't do it at dispatch level). tos.js: Clicking Accept now makes an Ajax call to userservice to get the account activated. WHAT WORKS: Clicking the button now gets the account activated. There are some rough edges and errors won't be handled well. WHAT DOESN'T: After clicking, the user is left thinking that nothing happened. They have to log out and back in again to enable themselves. (This is noted in the bug tracker).	mattgiuca	17 years ago
477	setup.py: Fixed creation of "scripts" directory in listmake. setup.py: Fixed creation of "scripts" directory in listmake. (Since they don't end in ".py" you have to explicitly specify them) Added usrmgt-server to list of explicitly specified scripts.	mattgiuca	17 years ago
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
475	Commited some earlier changes to users.sql (not committed ea... 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
474	makeuser.py: Uncommented a try block I commented out. makeuser.py: Uncommented a try block I commented out.	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

466	db: Make the DB object self-closing. db: Make the DB object self-closing.	drtomc	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
