TYPO3 Core

Hi Rik,
can you attach a patch in unified diff format? This would help even more to get it faster into the core.
Greets, Sebastian

Hey Sebastian, thnx for your fast reply! :-)

I'd be glad to attach the patch... could you tell me the command that I should issue to produce it?

Regards, Rik

Hi,
see this link for more information: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff
if you are using windows, there is a windows implementation as well.
Greets,

ok, check... i made a diff with the 3.8.0 original version,

grtz - rik

So, I wonder, will this hook be integrated in future versions of TYPO3?

Hi Rik,

I just checked the hook again and have a question about it: What exactly do you need it for in your application? I discussed it with Stucki and we are curious what the sense is of the hook.
Thanks!

Happy newyear all!

The situation is as follows: a client maintains the backend users with a LDAP import / update. The imported users are all members of a bunch of groups, most of them of no importance for TYPO3. But they are all member of 1 group with a name like "typo3_<lalala>" which is the group that is relevant when logging in in TYPO3. The groups are imported in a random order, but when an editor creates a new page, this page belongs to the group that is the first in the list of groups. Quite often this is a different group than the "typo3_<lala>" group which leads to problems with permissions when another editor wants to edit the page.

Even manually re-sorting the groups is no sollution, because the are scrambled after each LDAP update.

To fix this I created a small extension (I uploaded the main file, class.user_firstMainGroup.php) that checks the name of a group, and sets it as firstMainGroup if it matches typo3

Since I'm new to programming TYPO3 I suspect that this can be done more efficiently than this, but it works and the client is quite and seems to be happy. I hate to leave them with a non-upgradable TYPO3 installation though.

I hope this explains enough, best regards,

Rik

Hi, I would suggest a hook as suggested in 1952_2.patch. I think by manipulating $this, everything can be done.
What do you think?

Sebastian: +1

The hook is in the core now.
