User access time

[traxxus]

Hi all

Today i has add an folder (and user with pw) in my HFS.

In this moment, i had an brainstorm.

What did you think about an option for "Account run out at date/time

Example, you will share a folder only for 12 hours. After 12 hours, the account will be deactivated, or the folder in hfs will be deletet.


rejetto: please add it 

p.s. sorry if my english is... bad 

[rejetto]

it's already in the to-do-list

+ autodeleting accounts

Oh, sorry, i didnt see that

Checked to do list, and dont see this though.  How about setting speed limits based on time of day. ie lets say I want to send a big file overnight and my roommates are asleep at 1am, and I want it to kick back to restricted by 7am.

So from 1am to 7am there is no limit on speed but after that it reverts to be X amount of kb.

Checking to do list again.

when you search something in a page, my advice is use the search/find feature of your browser.
humans can be wrong.

it's interesting... but this need some brainstorming.
other people may need a similar time-thing for other limits, or not?
and we cannot have a different timer for every limit. what can we do about it.

Not sure about it in delphi, can think of 4 or 5 ways in other stuff..

Its basically just an acl right but not that advanced, couldnt you set it to use the users local time and just have two options in the applet that are:

Restricted Time: 09:30P  Restore Full Bandwidth: 06:00A
Obviously it isnt that easy but best way would have it pull from the users (or in thiscase servers) local time, using the same code you use to restrict it. (Download limit X, or Download limit <blank>)

What do others think?

[rejetto]

to get it at programming level it is just a single line code with an IF.
i was talking from the user point of view, the GUI.

Maybe you should introduce a 'Full Go' feature. User can choose to lift all restrictions from hour X to hour Y, or for XX minutes from now on (like a timer).

[rejetto]

ok, let's see what people prefer.
so the "best one" is implemented.

[MarkV]

We should collect possibilities, and then create a poll. That's what polls are for, right?

I agree we should have a poll.

[ELEVENNNN]

Unless I'm missing the coding logic behind it, why can't there just be an area within HFS to define the time.

3 things inside, a Checkbox for Enabled (if its ticked)

and then the start Time, and stop time.  It could be more complicated then that, but why "typical" times.

It would just pull from the server clock.
Explain to me why i'm wrong please

we are not talking about times.
that's more than that: the full logic of the thing, between many possibilities.
you may create a specific button for every need, and you will get an impossibile 10000 buttons machine.

I think it is the problem of keeping the GUI simple to use and uncluttered?
