Hi fellas!
Do you know if has anyone tried to move the definition of permissions in the 'xoops_version.php' file?

example

I'm not aware of anybody trying that....

I would like to hear more about what you were thinking.

Actually, Goffy has included permissions as part of the "sample data" in wgGallery, i.e. when the user imports the "sample data", the module permissions will be included automatically:
https://github.com/ggoffy/wggallery/commit/44e5e0f473941bff59fe50c3c174a4ad320a5cdf

One of the items on my wish list was to have an easy solution for backing up data and all module preferences and permissions, and be able to upload them as needed, which would then make it easier to move the whole module between websites because you could keep your original settings and your data.

I've done it now for the "sample data", i.e. I can save my current module data as a "sample data" and then let the other users to simply import it. That helps me and other users to test modules, as we can make sure that we're using the same data and we can replicate any potential issues.

Now that Goffy added the "read" routine for permissions, we'll need to write a routine to save the current permissions, and then we can easily transfer modules between XOOPS installations, without having to deal with the database directly...

That's exactly what I'm looking for!

2 or more kind of permissions:
- "global permissions" for example: print, user extendee editor, ...
- "per item permissions" for example: read or write into a category, ...
- ...
