Hi all,

Thanks for the interest! Here's a link to download it:

I changed the name from the original to avoid compatibility issues. Also, I created another visit log plugin (complete with a graph), so I didn't need that functionality in this ...

Hi,

Well, I think I've got this LDAP thing finally worked out. It's in production use for the last few weeks and so far as good. Thanks so much for such a flexible framework!

I'm more than happy to post my changes, but I'm not sure how useful it would be for others. The more I use LDAP, the more I ...

Alright, that sounds like a good idea. I'll give it a shot and let you know...

Sorry for the long delay...trying to catch up with life, ya know.

Anyway, I like your idea. I think it will work, except I have one question. After the login has completed (in backend_configure), I can access the username using $serendipity['serendipityUser'], but the password in $serendipity ...

Wow, you're right...this is a pain. Maybe I'm just trying too hard for something that's not really worth it, but here's another idea:

That way the behavior depends on how the admin is using this plugin, without a ...

Hi all,

Up to now, I've managed a client's restricted-access blog using plain vanilla s9y authentication, but there are starting to be too many user accounts to manage efficiently using this method. So I've been fixing up the external ...

Excellent!! Thank you very much!

OK, that makes sense. So the real bug is with the Login Form plugin. Line 55 needs to be changed to use the new group permissions:

plugins/serendipity_plugin_loginform/serendipity_plugin_loginform.php

if (!$serendipity['no_create']) { // <-- This line here.
echo '<a href="' . $serendipity ...

Hi all,

I've been trying to create a user that only has permissions to set their own personal settings, but nothing else. So I created a user group named "Guest" with only the "personalConfiguration" permission set. However, I find that I must also set the "Forbid creating entries?" of each user to ...
