[cobalt-users] FileMan Package FIX for All Site Users

["Khalil@xxxxxxxxx" <khalil@xxxxxxxxx>]

Alex,

Alright, I found it. As I said in my earlier email, this script "FileMan"
only works for Site Admins and not for Site Users. That is true. Your script
"fileman.pl" just dies on line 52 when any user except siteAdmin tries to
login. Check here:

    unless ($members =~ /$ENV{REMOTE_USER}/) {
       die sprintf ($GT::FileMan::Commands::LANGUAGE{COBALT_BADGROUP},
$root_dir, $ENV{REMOTE_USER});
    }

If you take out this line:
    die sprintf ($GT::FileMan::Commands::LANGUAGE{COBALT_BADGROUP},
$root_dir, $ENV{REMOTE_USER});

and replace it with something like

         my ($user_dir) = $dir =~
m,^(/home/sites/\w+/users/$ENV{REMOTE_USER}),;
         $root_dir = $user_dir;

It will now just work fine with all site users by putting users in their
respective home directories if they are not site_admins. And they will not
be able to access the upper level dir.

Cheers

-Khalil Ahmad
