Hi Dirk Dirksen ;-) In my implementation I wanted to avoid MySQL and thelike, because they would have only served as "user sources" for the site's membership functionality and that's it (and I wasn't talking about Ks of users...). So I considered this O.D., and tried to get a ZODB based membership up and running. Well, here we are - see below. Unfortunately, I do not have any experience with hooking up MySQL to the current Membership/LM/ZPatterns trio. And now that the membership product has become a ZODB drop-in solution for me, I guess now there's no reason for me to go at that. I'd rather go for new methods to enhance the product's features. (there has been more than one proposal for this on this list) Sorry with that one. Charlie E Wilkinson is probably your man (check the mail archives).

I've read the Howto for hook up LoginManager with MySql, and tried it on Membership, but that trick didn't work. Look forward to your advice! cheers Dirksen --- Danny William Adair <Danny@Adair.net> wrote:

Hello Bill,

Now this _is_ cool. I had tried 0.75 in the past and had lots of problems. Version 0.78 is a real drop-in, like what I was dreaming of. Thank you very much for your efforts so far. I recommend the Membership product to everyone looking for a ready-to-use authentication and personalization solution, though ZODB based in the first place, thanks to ZPatterns and LoginManager it is always ready for rdbms.

Btw, if you maintain a Membership version outside of the PTK, why do I see the word "Portal" so often? IMHO you shouldn't narrow down the opportunities of using this product to mere portals.

CU+Prost,

Has somebody been able to setup this combination as for today? I guess

is an easy one for the LM experienced... I am looking for a completely ZODB based solution concerning membership, no rdbms.

It it still beta, but there is a membership product, which uses loginmanager. You can get it at http://www.zope.org/Members/Bill/Products/Membership

It works quite well, despite the beta label.
