+A book is simply a collection of nodes that have been linked together. These nodes are usually of type book page, but you can insert nodes of any type into a book outline. Every node in the book has a parent node which \"contains\" it. This is how book.module establishes its hierarchy. At any given level in the hierarchy, a book can contain many nodes. All these sibling nodes are sorted according to the weight that you give them.
+A book page is a special node type that allows you to embed PHP within the body of the page. This capability is only offerred to administrators, since malicious users could abuse this power. In addiiton, book pages contain a log message field which helps your users understand the motivation behind an edit of a book page. Each edited version of a book page is stored as a new revision of a node. This capability makes it easy to revert to an old version of a page, should that be desirable.
+Like other node types, book submissions and edits may be subject to moderation, depending on your configuration. Similarly, books use permissions to determine who may read and write to them. Only administrators are allowed to create new books, which are really just nodes whose parent is <root>. To include an existing node in your book, click on the \"administer\"-link in that node. At the bottom of this administration page, click on the edit book outline button. This enables you to place the node wherever you'd like within the book hierarchy. To add a new node into your book, use the submit content » book page link.
+Administrators may review the hierarchy of their books by clicking on the collaborative book link in the adminstration pages. There, nodes may be edited, reorganized, removed from book, and deleted. This behavior may change in the future. When a parent node is deleted, it may leave behind child nodes. These nodes are now orphans. Administrators should periodically review their books for orphans and reaffiliate those pages as desired. Finally, administrators may also export their books to a single, flat HTML page which is suitable for printing.
+Collaborative books let you easily set up a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section on your web site. The main benefit is that you don't have to write all the questions/answers by yourself - let the community do it for you!
+In order to set up the FAQ, you have to create a new book which will hold all your content. To do so, click on the submit content » book page link. Give it a thoughtful title, and body. A title like \"Estonia Travel - FAQ\" is nice. You may always edit these fields later. You will probably want to designate <root> as the parent of this page. Leave the log message and type fields blank for now. After you have submitted this book page, you are ready to begin filling up your book with questions that are frequently asked.
+Whenever you come across a post which you want to include in your FAQ, click on the administer link. Then click on the edit book outline button at the bottom of the page. Then place the relevant post wherever is most appropriate in your book by selecting a parent. Books are quite flexible. They can have sections like Flying to Estonia, Eating in Estonia and so on. As you get more experienced with the book module, you can reorganize posts in your book so that it stays organized.

+ Introduction
+ This Drupal module allows you to enable and configure the auto-throttle congestion control mechanism offered by the statistics module. The auto-throttle mechanism allows your site to automatically adapt to different server levels.
+ This module also adds a block that displays the current status of the throttle. You must have \"access throttle block\" privileges to view the block. As a general rule of thumb, only site administrators should be granted access to this block.
+ The auto-throttle mechanism performs an extra database query in order to determine what the current throttle level should be. Fortunately the throttle can be tuned so these database queries only occur on a fraction of all pages generated by your site, reducing the overhead to an insignificant amount. Additionally, when the top-most throttle level is reached, all throttle queries are suspended for a configurable period of time. More detail follows.
+ As with any module, the throttle module needs to be enabled before you can use it. Also refer to the permissions section below if you wish to access the throttle statistics block.

+ This second option allows you to tune the auto-throttle mechanism. The auto-throttle mechanism supports six throttle levels, from 0 (off) to 5 (maximum). The current throttle level is based upon how many pages have been accessed on your site in the past 60 seconds - the more pages being displayed, the higher the throttle level. This multiplier defines how many hits are required to switch from one throttle level to the next.
+ For example, with a throttle multiplier of 20: Once 20 pages have been accessed on your site within a period of 60 seconds, the throttle level will be incremented to a level of 1. Once 40 pages have been accessed on your site within a period of 60 seconds, the throttle level will be incremented to a level of 2. And so on, until 100 pages are accessed on your site within a period of 60 seconds, at which time the throttle level will be set to a maximum level of 5.
+ auto-throttle probability limiter:
+ This option allows you to minimize the performance impact of the auto-throttle. If we refer to the probability limiter as P, then P% of all pages generated by your site will perform an extra database query to verify that the current throttle level is appropriate to the current server load.
+ As a rule of thumb, the higher your multiplier, the lower your probability limiter should be. For example, if you have a multiplier of 100, then you logically don't need to check the throttle level more than once out of every 100 page views, so the probability limiter should be set to 1%. As database queries are \"expensive\", it's recommended that you keep the probability limiter to the smallest percentage possible, while still high enough to react quickly to a change in server load.
+ Throttle block
+ This block displays some statistics regarding the current throttle and its configuration. It is recommended that only site administrators receive the \"access throttle block\" permission bit required to view this block. It does not display information that would interest a normal site end-user.
+ Don't forget to enable the block.
+ Permissions
+ This module has one permission that needs to be configured in user permissions.
+ The function throttle_status() will return a number from 0 to 5. 0 means that there is no throttle enabled at this time. Each number above that is a progressively more throttled system... To disable a feature when a site first begins to get busy, disable it at a throttle of 2 or 3. To hold on to the bitter end, wait until 4 or 5.
To implement the throttle, you should do something like this: +
if (module_invoke(\"throttle\", \"status\") >= \$my_throttle_value) {
// my throttle limit was reached, disable stuff
}
else {
// throttle limit not reached, execute normally

So now lets use that \$name, \$pass, and \$server which was passed to our _auth function. Blogger authenticates users via XML-RPC. Your module may authenticate using a different technique.

The message we pass conforms to the published Blogger XML-RPC Application Programmers Interface (API). Your module will no doubt implement a different API. One peculiarity of this module is that we don't actually use the \$server parameter. Blogger only accepts authentication at plant.blogger.com, so we hard-code that value into the xmlrpc_client() function.

+ The _auth function is the heart of any authentication module. This function is called whenever a user is attempting to login using your authentication module. For successful authentications, this function returns TRUE. Otherwise, it returns FALSE. This function always accepts 3 parameters, as shown above. These parameters are passed by the user system (user module). The user system parses the username as typed by the user into 2 substrings - \$name and \$server. The parsing rules are:
+| _auth function parameters | |
|---|---|
| \$name | The substring before the final '@' character in the username field |
| \$pass | The whole string submitted by the user in the password field |
| \$server | The substring after the final '@' symbol in the username field |
So now lets use that \$name, \$pass, and \$server which was passed to our _auth function. Blogger authenticates users via XML-RPC. Your module may authenticate using a different technique. Drupal doesn't reallly care how your module communicates with its registration source. It just trusts the module.
+The lines above illustrate a typical XML-RPC method call. Here we build up a message and send it to Blogger, storing the response in a variable called \$response. The message we pass conforms to the published Blogger XML-RPC Application Programmers Interface (API). Your module will no doubt implement a different API. One peculiarity of this module is that we don't actually use the \$server parameter. Blogger only accepts authentication at plant.blogger.com, so we hard-code that value into the xmlrpc_client() function. A more typical example might be the jabber module, which uses the \$server parameter to determine where to send the authentication request. Also of note is the '5'th parameter in the \$client->send() call. This is a timeout value in seconds. All authentication modules should implement a timeout on their external calls. This makes sure to return control to the user module if your registration database has become inoperable or unreachable.

+ Introduction
+ Drupal offers a powerful access system that allows users to register, login, logout, maintain user profiles, etc. By using roles you can setup fine grained permissions allowing each role to do only what you want them to. Each user is assigned to a role. By default there are two roles \"anonymous\" - a user who has not logged in, and \"authorized\" a user who has signed up and who has been authorized. As anonymous users, participants suffer numerous disadvantages, for example they cannot sign their names to nodes, and their moderated posts beginning at a lower score.
+ In contrast, those with a user account can use their own name or handle and are granted various privileges: the most important is probably the ability to moderate new submissions, to rate comments, and to fine-tune the site to their personal liking, with saved personal settings. Drupal themes make fine tuning quite a pleasure.
+ Registered users need to authenticate by supplying either a local username and password, or a remote username and password such as a Jabber ID, DelphiForums ID, or one from a Drupal powered website. See the distributed authentication help for more information on this innovative feature.
+ The local username and password, hashed with Message Digest 5 (MD5), are stored in your database. When you enter a password it is also hashed with MD5 and compaired with what is in the database. If the hashes match, the username and password are correct. Once a user authenticated session is started, and until that session is over, the user won't have to re-authenticate. To keep track of the individual sessions, Drupal relies on PHP sessions. A visitor accessing your website is assigned an unique ID, the so-called session ID, which is stored in a cookie. For security's sake, the cookie does not contain personal information but acts as a key to retrieve the information stored on your server. When a visitor accesses your site, Drupal will check whether a specific session ID has been sent with the request. If this is the case, the prior saved environment is recreated.
+ User preferences and profiles
Each Drupal user has a profile, and a set of preferences which may be edited by clicking on the \"my account\" link. Of course, a user must be logged into reach those pages. There, users will find a page for changing their preferred time zone, language, username, e-mail address, password, theme, signature, and distributed authentication names. Changes made here take effect immediately. Also, administrators may make profile and preferences changes in account administration on behalf of their users.
+ Module developers are provided several hooks for adding custom fields to the user view/edit pages. These hooks are described in the Developer section of the developers guide. For an example, see the jabber_user() function in /modules/jabber.module.
+
+ Distributed authentication
+ One of the more tedious moments in visiting a new website is filling out the registration form. The reg form provides helpful information to the website owner, but not much value for the user.

This works because Drupal knows how to communicate with external registration databases. For example, lets say that your new user 'Joe' is already a registered member of Delphi Forums. If your Drupal has the delphi module installed, then Drupal will inform Joe on the registration and login screens that he may login with his Delphi ID instead of registering with your Drupal instance. Joe likes that idea, and logs in with a username of joe@remote.delphiforums.com and his usual Delphi password. Drupal then communicates with remote.delphiforums.com (usually using %xml, %http-post, or %soap) behind the scenes and asks "is this password for username=joe?" If Delphi replies yes, then Drupal will create a new local account for joe and log joe into it. Joe may keep on logging into your Drupal instance in the same manner, and he will be logged into the same joe@remote.delphiforums.com account.
+ One key element of DA is the 'authmap' table, which maps a user's authname (e.g. joe@remote.delphiforums.com) to his local UID (i.e. user identification number). This map is checked whenever a user successfully logs into an external authentication source. Once Drupal knows that the current user is definately joe@remote.delphiforums.com (because Delphi says so), he looks up Joe's UID and logs Joe into that account.
+ To disable distributed authentication, simply disable or remove all DA modules. For a virgin install, that means removing/disabling the jabber module and the drupal module.
+ Drupal is setup so that it is very easy to add support for any external authentication source. You currently have the following authentication modules installed ...

+ Writing distributed authentication modules
+ Drupal is specifically architected to enable easy authoring of new authentication modules. I'll deconstruct the blogger authentication module, and hopefully provide all the details you'll need to write your own auth module. If you want to download the full text of this module, visit the module in the contributions repository.

For successful authentications, this function returns TRUE. Otherwise, it returns FALSE. This function always accepts 3 parameters, as shown above.

So now lets use that \$name, \$pass, and \$server which was passed to our _auth function. Blogger authenticates users via XML-RPC. Your module may authenticate using a different technique.

The message we pass conforms to the published Blogger XML-RPC Application Programmers Interface (API). Your module will no doubt implement a different API. One peculiarity of this module is that we don't actually use the \$server parameter. Blogger only accepts authentication at plant.blogger.com, so we hard-code that value into the xmlrpc_client() function. A more typical example might be the jabber module, which uses the \$server parameter to determine where to send the authentication request. Also of note is the '5'th parameter in the \$client->send() call. This is a timeout value in seconds. All authentication modules should implement a timeout on their external calls. This makes sure to return control to the user module if your registration database has become inoperable or unreachable.
