Login system is finally on the way
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008Just to let everyone know that the first stage of the PHPBridges Login system is finally in the launchpad repository that was opened for it.
So finally, after 6 months wait, the PHPBridges login system (one of the features asked BEFORE the script was even written) is on the way. I’m sorry to have taken so long but I wanted to make sure the system was secure and simple enough and I thinks this one covers it.
During it’s development I’ve been making the PHPBridges database connection a bit more modular and the changes should be dropping into the trunk as soon as I test the latest commit.
The concept is to have a small class that manages the connection to the database (probably keep the connection in a static variable if it’s possible) and have other smaller classes that extend the Database class and perform only specific functions (similar to what we have now for the admin database calls but script-wide). The purpose of this idea is to eventually allow some sort of module system to add features to the system.
But for now all this is an idea and the Login system is the most important bit I have to work on so I got to get cranking. Stay tunned.
