Implemented.

Bug 808 will be implemented when this gets coded, since the list of 
backends already generated in base.php is filtered by the user's 
permissions.



This functionality is the last remaining hold-up that I can see before 
Gollem 1.0 can be released.

I will take a look at the issue Jan brought up shortly.  My eventual 
goal is to have something akin to the IMP drop-down folder menu in 
Gollem that will allow a user to switch backends.  If a particular 
backend has not been authenticated yet, then the user will be 
redirected to the login page.  This will allow us to get rid of the 
"Change server" menu button.



I do apologize to everyone for making this Gollem authentication stuff 
a bit broken.  However, the auth code really needed to be brought 
inline with how we do authentication elsewhere so this was my 
motivation.  The biggest issue has been that the application I ripped 
most of the code out of (IMP) does not have to deal with multiple 
backends that 1) are open simultaneously, 2) deal with logins via the 
VFS class, and 3) deal with backends that don't require authentication 
at all.  Bear with me as I sort all of this out.

I still don't get the icon to change servers if none of the backends 
need authentication, e.g. if I have a hordeauth FTP backend, an SQL 
backend, and a file backend.

its working now. thx.

How about now?

it is still not possible to switch between the backends.



my backend.php file looks like this:



$backends['incoming'] = array(

     'name' => 'incoming',

     'driver' => 'file',

     'preferred' => '',

     'params' => array(

         'vfsroot' => '/home/vfs/incoming/',

     ),

     'attributes' => array('type', 'name', 'download', 'modified', 
'size', 'permission', 'owner', 'group')

);





$backends['storage'] = array(

     'name' => 'storage',

     'driver' => 'file',

     'preferred' => '',

     'params' => array(

         'vfsroot' => '/home/vfs/storage/',

     ),

     'attributes' => array('type', 'name', 'download', 'modified', 
'size', 'permission', 'owner', 'group')

);



the strange thing is, if i add one of this example entries like



$backends['ftp'] = array(

     'name' => 'FTP Server',

     'preferred' => '',

     'driver' => 'ftp',

     'params' => array(

         // The hostname/IP Address of the FTP server

         'hostspec' => 'ftp.example.com',

         // The port number of the FTP server

         'port' => 21,

         // Use passive mode?

         'pasv' => false,

         // Hide all files that match this regex

         // 'filter' => '^regex$'

     ),

     'attributes' => array('type', 'name', 'download', 'modified', 
'size', 'permission', 'owner', 'group')

);





it is possible to choose. maybe there is something wrong with my config?

This has been fixed.

Giving to Michael. I haven't looked at Gollem in a while and there 
seem to be a number of issues right now. I can look at it eventually 
if Michael can't or if we need to get Gollem in shape for a beta.



(I can't get as far as choosing a backend, so I'm not much use on this one)

After choosing a backend it is not possible

to change the backend. This is only possible

after login in again.
