Materio
— a simle user management system
Project description
Materio is an application publication platform, providing user management and a common login system. Useful for organizations with own application development, to share programs between different parts of the organization or with other organizations.
The system is programmed in PHP and relies on MySQL and jQuery (Ajax). Materio doesn't do anything other than user administration, it's Materios' modules that provides the action. It is intended as a platform for using and creating modules (programs) for an organization with a common user base run on a single server, using a common login system and user administration features. The modules are independent from Materio, but has easy access to data about the user currently logged in.
The principal design goals is that Materio should provide:
- User administration system – with basic user information
- User rights system – with basic rights handling. There are three levels at present, no access, user or administrator
- A common login system – so users only have to log in to one system in order to access all installed programs (modules) on the server
- User data API – an API for retrieving information about the logged-in user. There is also functions for storing user-specific, organization-specific and module-specific information.
- Hot pluggable modules – so new modules easily can be installed without any modifications to the host systems. New modules will be easy to install and uninstall by a relatively unskilled systems administrator.
- A translation system – so Materio and its modules easily can be translated to new languages.
Current version 0.54 (2010-07-01)

Modules
There aren't much modules at present, but development is underway. Since the developers of Materio are librarians, most modules we release will library-oriented. Though modules for any purpose could be developed. If you make something good and GPL, please send it to me and I'll add it to the list.
| Article harvester | |
|---|---|
Article harvester is a system which gathers (scientific) journal
metadata and sends them out via email to subscribers on regular intervals. It is intended to
give scholars coverage of new articles, and an easy link to the fulltext of those articles. Aside
from a link to the journal resource, an OpenURL
link can be configured, to take advantage of OpenURL resolvers like
SFX.Article harvester consists of three parts: • Administration of journals and subscribers • Program that gathers journal metadata from RSS-streams • Program who sends out journal references to subscribers |

| Boing | |
|---|---|
Boing can create IP-sensitive links. That is, Boing can redirect visitors to a link
based on the visitors IP. This could be used for redirecting visiors from outside an
organization to one site and visitors from within an organization to another. It's
possible assign multiple IP:s and IP-ranges to multiple target sites.
