[Grok-dev] HEADS UP: grok.define_permission gone in favor of grok.Permission

[Jan-Wijbrand Kolman]

Hi,


This is an important heads up!

As has been discussed before 
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.grok.devel/1637/) the 
define_permission is now gone in favor of the grok.Permission component 
base class.

So, from now on, instead of:

   grok.define_permission('grok.NicePermission')

you do:

   class NicePermission(grok.Permission):
       grok.name('grok.NicePermission')
       grok.title('Title for Nice Permission') # optional

As an added bonus (and the reason for this refactoring) there's now an 
easy way to define roles:

   class NiceRole(grok.Role):
       grok.name('grok.NiceRole')
       grok.title('Title for Role') # optional
       # multiple permissions ids allowed here
       grok.permissions('grok.NicePermission', ...)

Writing this post reminds me of updating CHANGES.txt - I will do so 
rightaway...


kind regards,
