Radiant Member Extension, used for restricting site content to registered members, got some new features. Also, the configuring got a little easier.
So, what’s new? One small but important feature is the possbility of deleting members.
The next feature is the improved control you have over members with activate/deactivate actions. When you deactivate a member, his password will be copied in a new field making him unable to access his acount. Activating him will copy back his old password.
If before you needed to modify the environment.rb or initializers/member.rb files in order to get the extension up and running, now all this settings are kept in Radiant::Config. You only need to and key/value pairs to this table to get the extension running.
Radiant’s caching prevents us from using Rails’ flash to notify the user of failed login attempts. To work around this, Member Extension uses cookies to store flash messages and Javascript to display them in the view. Now the flash messages can be easily customized from Radiant::Config.
Check out the source code on github.
