Package TWiki::Users::JoomlaUserMapping

Base class of all user handlers. Default behaviour is to use TWiki Topics for user and group info

The methods of this class should be overridden by subclasses that want to implement other password handling methods.

ClassMethod new ($session) -> $object

Constructs a new password handler of this type, referring to $session for any required TWiki services.

ObjectMethod addUserToMapping ($user) -> $topicName

This function is only sensible if we are using TWikiUsers^? - it should probably be refactored into a make User->login map which in TWikiUsers^? is traditionally done in the user topic.

ObjectMethod isGroup ($user) -> boolean

Establish if a user object refers to a user group or not.

The default implementation is to check if the wikiname of the user ends with 'Group'. Subclasses may override this behaviour to provide alternative intepretations. The SuperAdminGroup^? is recognized as a group no matter what it's name is.

ObjectMethod groupMembers () -> @members

Return a list of user objects that are members of this group. Should only be called on groups.
