Yeah I kind of already stated the freakauth_light release is too heavy for a light package, so I must agree with obsesif. Overall, the package needs less files, less configuration and less features. There’s really great features with freakauth_light but most belong with a full package… and since you’re releasing a full package, I guess it wouldn’t hurt removing some features. But that’s only for danfreak to decide! 
Everyone’s been pointing out what shouldn’t be included. So I’ll go with what should be included. A light auth package should only include the following (to a bare minimum):
- the auth class/library
- a user model
- login controller
- registration controller
- forgot pass / change pass controllers (optional)
That should be it. User profiles, RSS, admin panel, templating, etc etc. is just too much for a light package.
Thanks for hearing us out danfreak!
Well guys, it seems to me that there are just a couple of people asking for this.
I called this packge light, not because it’s light in terms of Kb, but because it’s light in terms of resource consuption, queries etc.
The next step will be FrekAuth with ACL inluded and more flexibility in managing roles and permissions.
What seems strange to me is that those that did the request of a lighter package seems to be qute experienced with CI, and then it shouldn’t be a problem for them to customise their needs, and to delete few files.
How long does it take to delete some file…?
What I can do is to release 2 packages:
- a FreakAuth_light full (like it is now)
- a FreakAuth_light essential
- the auth class/library
- a user model
- login controller
- registration controller
- forgot pass / change pass controllers (optional)
From what you write me siric, you should just keep:
- the libraries (FreakAuth_light & DB_session)
- the config files
- the Auth controller
- the usermodel
- the FreakAuth_light_helper
- the language file
and delete all the rest. Is this so difficult?
