11-05 Challenge : roles for enabling edits on items
ClikClock has been trundling along with me being able to dedicate approximately 4-5 hours a week to get stuff done.
I built out the account settings code at the end of last week so now we have account configuration working within the site, this will be useful for adding/removing certain options/features on individual accounts as an administrator, as well as the account administrators themselves being able to set certain preferences for their accounts.
Having a single settings mechanism for settings that are read only for the users but editable by the site administrators, or the account administrators presented a few challenges until I hit upon the idea of simply having the ability to set “edit roles” for a particular setting. So I could pull up the details of a setting and be able to say “this setting can only be edited by this role”. I have this implemented and am looking forward to seeing how it works out, there are some obvious permutations to doing something like this but I don’t want to dive too deep on this functionality until I am sure it will be useful.
I have updated my git repository with the latest changes and offered a new dump of my codebase to the other challenger in the 11-05 challenge. I have sent over dumps of my current code before in an effort to help him out in this challenge, but I suspect he takes the code simply to avoid any hurt feelings. HA!
Plan for this week :
Finish the New Account Setup wizard – there are a few features/functionality I think I am going to have to add to the framework to finish this task so I’m going to keep this item as the only todo until my next update.
