idApi.root ready for testing
  • I've made some changes to the way idApi.root works, so that it can benefit from the opmlEditor website tools, by storing the user information in members.root instead of config.root. We all know this is the modern way to do things, right? :-)
  • If you had already installed it, you should follow the instructions on the Howto and re-install from the Tool Catalog page. I didn't release updates for all the parts that changed. In the future, I will.
  • If you are already running apps like Blork or River2 and using membership, you should probably run idApi.root on the machine that's running those apps now, but there is no requirement that you do so. If you run it on a different machine, you should export the user table in members.root default group and re-import it on the machine that's running your server. All you really need is the prefs table with the password for each user, but it's simpler just to export the whole thing. And at this stage the tables aren't that big.
  • That's about it for now. Please report success or problems on the Frontier-user list.
