WEBDEV Concepts

Part 4: Advanced concepts 129 • The "Manual start via a control template" option is used to integrate the User Groupware login page in the site. This allows you to work with the automatic User Groupware (and to benefit from its updates) while being able to customize the login page. If this option is selected, the WDGPU_WB_CNX internal component is added to your project. This component includes the "TPLC_GPU_ Connection" control template that manages the connection. To add this control template, simply drag and drop it onto the desired pages (or templates). Once it has been added, you can customize it: • by overloading the controls and/or the processes for small changes, • by directly modifying the control template for more important changes. 3.2 User Groupware options (standard and BaaS mode) There are multiple User Groupware customization modes: • No customization : all User Groupware programming is automatically integrated into your site. No customization can be done. The project skin is automatically applied to all pages used by the User Groupware. This integration mode automatically follows future changes in the User Groupware. • Customize login UI (log in, register) : all User Groupware programming is automatically integrated into your site. The login UI can be modified. The WDGPU_WB internal component is added to the project. This component contains all the pages, page templates, control templates and procedures necessary for user authentication. This allows you to fully customize all the login pages used by the User Groupware. This integration mode automatically follows future changes in the User Groupware. • Full customization (only in Standard User Groupware mode): the entire programming of the User Groupware is automatically included in your site via an internal component. The WDGPU_WB internal component is added to the project. This component contains an analysis as well as all the pages, queries, classes and procedures required to manage the User Groupware. This allows you to customize all the pages used by the User Groupware. The " Allow opening windows, pages and reports by default " option allows all users to open windows, pages and reports by default. In this case, simply specify which elements will not be accessible when configuring the rights. The option " Automatic login for test mode " allows you to specify the username and password to be used when testing a page or project (in GO mode or in "Automated test" mode). This information will be used if an automated test is run on the project. By default: • data files are in English. To use data in French, simply check "Data files in French". • User Groupware data files have a specific password. This password is: "PCSGPW2001". To change this password, enter the new password in the "Options" tab of the User Groupware description window. Characters are shown as bullets. Remark: This password is used when re-indexing or opening data files with WDMAP for example. For more details, see the online help. 3.3 Options specific to the standard User Groupware If you use the standard User Groupware, the "Files" tab allows you to configure: • the type of database used (these options are available in "Automatic start" mode only). • the type of authentication: • Authentication managed by the WEBDEV User Groupware. • Authentication from an LDAP directory. Database type In "Standard User Groupware" mode, the User Groupware uses several specific data files. These data files are mainly used to manage users, groups, rights and elements in the site. The standard User Groupware can be used: • with HFSQL Classic data files. In this case, you can specify the location of the data files via the "Default directory" link. • with HFSQL Client/Server data files. In this case, you can define the parameters for accessing the HFSQL Client/Server database as well as the file directory by selecting "Click here to enter the server parameters".
