Update 20.06.07

Bruno Santos on June 20th, 2007

Hi again!

So the latest update still is related with authentication.
Registration process was finally implemented as well as the use of openID.

In case of users having an openID account they can use it to login in AGO. In case it is their first time, they’ll be asked to register.
The other users work like in any other system, register an username, login and everything is set to go.

Ok, so current code is lacking some features like password request and account activation, so I’ll be working on that during the next days.

There are plans to implement internationalization so I’ll also be looking at in a near feature, before having hundred of messages lines needing to be manually changed.
Btw, I’m thinking on using php gettext. If you have any better idea, please let me know.

GNU gettext library is one of best localization libraries (if not the best). Unfortunately, in order to use it with most widespread (and ugly) language of PHP, the system has to support desired locale, and library itself must be installed.

Since this is rarely the case, PHP-gettext is developed to be able to read gettext MO files directly, without requiring anything other than PHP.

Wanna share (your opinion)?
