potential feature additions for better usability onmobile devices

Paul B. Henson — 2013-06-12T23:34:56

We currently use MRBS for our library to book study rooms. It works 
quite well, and they are fairly happy with it. However, they would 
really like it to be more usable on mobile devices. With the number of 
rooms they have, the grid is either excessively tiny or requires 
excessive scrolling on a small display like a phone.

My understanding is that there isn't currently a mobile view or skin for 
MRBS. Our librarian pointed me to the mobile interface released by RIT, 
but that's really a completely separate application that just happens to 
dip its fingers into the MRBS database, and I don't particularly want to 
go that route.

We don't really have the resources to develop a fully separate mobile 
view/skin, but I was thinking of adding a handful of simple features 
that would be useful for both regular browsers and mobile browsers and 
allow easier access for mobile browsers.

First, there doesn't appear to be any way to generate a view for one 
room for one day; you can get one room for a week, or one

Is there a way to enable the booking system to authenticate against a
google account? E.G we use google apps so makes sense to use the same login?

Campbell Morrison — 2013-06-10T15:43:16

I think you should upgrade to the latest version which is 1.4.9 and see if
you still get the problem.   There have been hundreds of bug fixes since
1.4.1.

Can you give more details please?   What version of MRBS are you running?
What were you doing at the time?   What file does the line 17 appear in?

[PATCH] Re-factor session_remote_user.inc and add aguest feature

Alex Owen — 2013-06-10T13:59:38

Dear MRBS developers,

May I introduce myself I am Alex Owen a professional Linux SysAdmin and
sometime FLOSS patch writer.

I have recently performed some work on my MRBS install updating to version
1.4.9 and changing the authentication mechanism I use to:
  $auth['session']  = 'remote_user' ;
  $auth['type'] = 'none' ;

I won't bore you with the details but I need the user "guest" to be treated as
if they are not logged in. I have done this by patching session_remote_user.inc.

I include 3 patches with this email all against MRBS 1.4.9:

Patch 1 is simply a re-factoring of session_remote_user.inc.
I would request that you consider incorporating this patch into MRBS.

Patch 2 is the addition of the "guest" mode I spoke of earlier. You will see I
use a new global configuration variable so that the username "guest" is not
hard coded and my be of use to others in a similar situation in future.
I request you also consider incorporating this patch.

Patch 3 is simply the sum of patches 1 and 2 should that prove

Re: MRBS help me

Neil Brown — 2013-06-06T09:33:11

I don't use LDAP for auth for MRBS, but a quick look at the code seems to 
say that you can still hard code admins in the config.inc.php file. Which 
may help you temporarily. eg

  $auth["admin"][] = "foo";
  $auth["admin"][] = "bar";

To gives users foo and bar admin access.

Also looking at the code it looks like you want to define

   $ldap_admin_group_dn

to be the DN of the group in your LDAP that your MRBS admin users belong 
to.

Other than that, all I can suggest is that you have a look at the code in 
auth_ldap.inc yourself.

Neil

Re: bcrypt hashed passwords

sf — 2013-05-28T17:00:56

For user authentication I used a table that contained user/pw hashed with md5 to
authenticate MRBS users. The table was created by phpBB in a prior version. Then
phpBB, in an upgrade, changed the password hashing function to use the phpass
method.

My hosting server's php version supports this method since new phpBB forum
users' passwords are correctly authenticated, but when I changed the auth line
to $auth['db_ext']['password_format'] = 'crypt'; the MRBS authorizing function
does not work when using the updated user table.

Is there anything else I could try to get the phpBB user table to work for
authentication? --Thanks.

Re: bcrypt hashed passwords

Quinn Vanhorn — 2013-05-28T16:16:03

Thanks for everyone's input on this issue.

Changing the following line from 'md5' to 'crypt' worked for me.

$auth['db_ext']['password_format'] = 'crypt';

Re: bcrypt hashed passwords

John Beranek - MRBS Developer — 2013-05-23T19:05:29

This should work as long your PHP/OS combination have Blowfish support 
in the PHP crypt function. If you happen not to have Blowfish support 
you'd have to plug in phpass (or something similar) support into 
auth_db_ext.inc

auth_crypt.inc won't help as this is for a password _file_ using crypt, 
and has the same requirements on the crypt() function.
