Effort to Integrate Filebrowser with Vanilla Authentication . . .

BenWilson

Just wondering if anybody has made the gesture toward using Vanilla's user authentication to control access to Filebrowser? I have a site where the client will not want the photos available to anyone other than its own Community. If somebody has headed that way, I would not want to muck things up by my own effort. . .

This sounds like a really good idea, you mean only those who join can view.

Yes, join to view, and some members can edit.

I'd like to see this. Mainly what I'd like to do is only allow a user to be able to see their specific area in FB. Such as "username" can only see /filebrowser_dir/username which would be handled by Vanilla's authentication.

How could this be handled?

I'm *very* interested in Vanilla's user authentication controlling access to Filebrowser. My vote is YES. :)

Maybe checking if dirname == username? You would have to query the DB to get the username. Obtaining the UserID is easy:

include_once("../comunidad/appg/settings.php"); include_once("../comunidad/appg/init_people.php"); $UserID = @$_SESSION[$Configuration['SESSION_USER_IDENTIFIER']];

(If i remember correctly, Mr. Bergamot published that code in an old post).
