Modifying Web UI
I'm running cobbler 1.6.6 on RHEL 5.3.
Three Questions:
Q1: Is there a way to have the Web UI behavior change according to the
person that logs in?
For example, I'd like it if user "foo" has full access to everything,
but user "bar" to only be able to create systems.
Listing distros, profiles, and repos is ok, but I don't want
bar to have the ability to add or delete distros, profiles or repos.
Q2: Has anyone customized the "Add System" web page?
I'm not a web programmer but I'd like to simplify/customize
the "Add System" page so it's simpler for our end user.
I'd to add fields like "Location" and have the values entered
show up as --ksmeta values; so if you enter Location: nyc,
that would get processed into --ksmeta="loc=nyc"
Also, things like, if one chooses a profile that isn't a vm profile,
then don't show the VM stuff. Or if power management
is disabled, don't show the power management stuff. etc.
Q3: Should I wait for cobbler 2.0 which uses Django?
Or should I plow ahead with the current mod_python stuff?
Any tips/information/examples on developing mod_python or Django web
pages would be a big help.
Thanks,
Paul
