Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Exposing all of OpenACS/]po[ via REST

Hi Frank,

I am interested in the implementation of permissions. Can I just examine the intranet core package itself to learn more how these work?

I have been disucssing a similar implementation to enable REST style calls for Ajax enabled user interfaces so this is very useful work.

Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,

Then I would recommend you to download the file project-open-Update-3.4.0.8.0b.tgz from https://sourceforge.net/projects/project-open/files/, remove all duplicate packages and install the intranet-* packages. That should just work on top of a standard OpenACS 5.3 or 5.4 installation, at least we've successfully tested it a year ago.

Or just download one of the ]po[ installers from that Web site and install intranet-rest.

In about an hour I'll be available on Skype:frankxbergmann if you need help. I'd be happy to explain you about ]po[ "application permissions", which are based on the OpenACS permission system, but which contain application specific business logic.

Cheers!
Frank
