Am flat out at the moment trying to get things happening for in some other areas, so it might not be anything before next week. :-/ Would you feel comfortable publishing the link anyway, as we do have Undo capabilities if anything seriously bad happens? :-) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift > -Josh Berkus > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? > > http://archives.postgresql.org -- "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.

It supports data aware widgets with postgresql as one of the backends since version 3. I guess it should be there.. Bye Shridhar -- Witch! Witch!

Could we not put a <LocationMatch "/editform"> into the httpd.conf and use standard Apache auth to lock off the edit pages? Single user and password should do for the moment. -- Richard Huxton

Single user and password > should do for the moment. Sure. Depends on what we really want to do here. At the moment (with not playing around with authorisation stuff) we have a couple of options: - Lock editing ability to only selected userid/passwords. It's really easy to setup. Can create userid/passwords for any members of the Advocacy team that want them and then mark individual documents or folders as being "Authorised Members only" for editing. An make default policies too, but would rather let anyone create new documents as easily as possible. - Have the "Add a comment" ability either Authorised users only, or open to everyone, or off completely. Was really wanting to allow anyone who has registered with the Techdocs site to have the ability to edit stuff, but for now if the best solution is different, then ok. Does this make sense? :-) Regards and best wishses, Justin Clift > -- > Richard Huxton -- "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.

Half a dozen real logins and a "spare" user along with some additions to the help. Anyone in the wider community who has a burning need to add something can do so using the "spare" login. Sort it out properly once 7.3 is out and things settle down. > - Have the "Add a comment" ability either Authorised users only, or > open to everyone, or off completely. Leave it public, I suppose. Doesn't seem to cause any problems with idocs. > Was really wanting to allow anyone who has registered with the Techdocs > site to have the ability to edit stuff, but for now if the best solution > is different, then ok. > > Does this make sense? Just get something workable up and running for the moment IMHO. -- Richard Huxton

I didn't put it in because I didn't think of it. How about adding it? And, PEOPLE! Please sign your comments and/or reviews. We need to have folks' initials by the reviews, so if you want stuff included, tell us who you are. -Josh

How about adding it? I will do that. Bit busy at the moemnt fighting with some C++ issues in gcc3.2 and mandrake9. Would do by today after some research on Qt details. Its been long time I have worked on it. Bye Shridhar -- Bubble Memory, n.: A derogatory term, usually referring to a person's intelligence. See also "vacuum tube".

How about adding it? Sorry to dig up an old thread. Here are my additions. I add one of them via comment but thought somebody must be maintaining the applications list. Please delete my comment on that page (http://techdocs.postgresql.org/guides/GUITools).. A preview button would be nice there.. KNoda http://www.knoda.org/ knoda is a database frontend for KDE. It is based on hk_classes and is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Qt http://trolltech.com http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/modules.html Qt is cross-platform library for desktop development. It features database enabled widgets among many other thing. Postgresql is one database it can talk to, along with several others Thanks.. Bye Shridhar -- Herth's Law: He who turns the other cheek too far gets it in the neck.
