Curiosity about new stuff in sandbox

Hi!

Latest mojoportal sandbox SVN log says:

"...work on an option for RelatedSiteMode where all sites in a multi site installation will share the same users and roles."

I'm curious, would this be a mode about which was spoken before on this forum, that could be used for multilanguage support? Mode with separate portals for each language (on the same DB and code, of course) but with shared users, so that, for example, user Pero is registered on croatian portal but can access english portal immediately?

Re: Curiosity about new stuff in sandbox

Hi Slaven,

Yes, it will support that scenario. It wasn't really my highest priority, but recent posts got me thinking about this problem again of how to support using the same users and roles across sites in a multi site installation. And today it came to me a vision for the solution that seemed easy to implement so I decided to work on it today while it was fresh in my mind. I'm mostly done and it seems to work well but I need to fix a few issues I've identified for this configuration and look around for any other potential issues. I expect to commit it to trunk in a few days at most and will hope for some additional testing from the community. Its not really about localization per se though it willl enable the scenario you mentioned. But even for Universities or other organizations who may have a number of web sites but basically the same users across them, this will be a nice feature. It seems particulary suited for folder based sub sites since they all share the same hostname they share the same authentication ticket anyway. In the folder based scenario, once you are signed into any of the sites you are already signed into all of them. In hostname based sites you will have to login to each buit the credentials and user profile are shared.

Call it one from the low hanging fruit department, it just took me a while to notice how low the fruit was hanging ;-D

Cheers,

Joe
