API to install Rights programatically

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi Chris,
I'd like to be able to install Rights from my own app installer.
Having a way to do that would be great.

Hey Rodrigo,

Could you be a bit more specific on what you would require to achieve this?

Hi :)

When I install an application, I have also to install Rights via its own 
installer page.
I'd like to have a method to call in Rights, from my installer, to make it 
perform its installation.

This way I would be able to make a Rights install while installing my 
application.

Hi,

what do you think about using db migrations for this task.

I've created a rough migration class for yii-rights, which you'll find attached 
to this post.
You could either call it by your web application or command line.

See 
http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/index.php?/topic/17591-planning-yii-cms-a-diff
erent-approach/page__view__findpost__p__88582 for more information (e.g. using 
an own migration table for every module)

Best regards,
schmunk

That's a good solution, schmunk.
Thank you!

Just one more thing to note. My proposal would be placing the migrations class 
into module/rights/migrations and call it via yiic, like:

protected/yiic migrate \
    --migrationPath=application.modules.rights.migrations \
    --migrationTable=tbl_migration_module_rights

We'll need this to avoid conflicts between the modules and the application 
migrations.

There's also a web-based prototype installer available

Here are the files you may include into the module.
A folder for migrations/db-schema installation (may need some work though) and 
a folder with the default config, it's very handy to have it in the source code.
