Phillip Pearson: [PyCS-devel] Feature: comment admin user

Hi all,



I've added a new feature, to go with all the admin stuff that Georg

has been working on: the ability to designate an 'admin user' who has

the power to delete comments on all blogs.



See pycs.conf.default for info; basically you change 'serveradmin' in

pycs.conf to the usernum of the comment-admin user and restart, then

that user will see 'Delete' buttons on everyone's comment pages (after

logging in).



[btw, we've had three different authentication methods for ages now -

time to try and merge them? or does it make sense to leave it as it

is, with an 'overall admin password', per-blog logins for comments,

and separate logins for viewing restricted pages...?]



Cheers,

Phil :)
