#36: Separate out installation of the OpenGuides software from installing a guide --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: ivorw | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: openguides Version: 0.51 | Severity: normal Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Comment (by ivorw):
I'm inclined to agree. People will want to be able to add a guide after the build directories have been blown away completely. So, the install will deliver a setup script as part of the "executables" that get installed.
Any user should, given appropriate file permissions, be able to set up a guide.
I think that it's most appropriate for the webserver account to be used to set up new guides, as this will guarantee that the permissions will work. We would need to be careful of the security issues though.
Having said that, there's no reason why this command line script couldn't be turned into a CGI script, making the setting up and changing configuration of guides even easier.
