How different?

I developed the permission_select module, and had this brought to my attention today.

The only current difference I can see at this point is that in my permission_select module, it currently doesn't support the horizontal select all, or select all per module. These are features that were already in my roadmap for a feature upgrade, and will be added soon. Probably about the same time I update the D7 version to include some of the latest D6 features.

I'd highly recommend joining forces with the permission_select maintainer (himerus)! I as well as most drupal.org users would rather have one great permission-checkbox-improvement module than two that basically do the same thing.

Hey guys,

Before I committed this project, I searched the modules section for the word permissions, and nothing came up, which I thought was weird (perhaps the search index was on the fritz); I also found yet another project in the cvs repository similar to mine ( http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/checkall/ ) that appeared dead, but it was only after I created and committed the project that I found that project. I did try to perform due diligence, but it seems somehow or another I ended up here anyhow.

Damn it. I would definitely be game for combining any UI enhancements from my implementation of *exactly the same thing* with yours, then deprecating my project to reduce confusion. Let me take a look at what you have, and if you could look at what I have done and let me know what features of mine you like (I personally think the visual distinction of the check-all checkboxes is important, and the select-all for each row is nice too), then we can define a couple of enhancements to your module, I'll spin a patch, and we'll bury this one in the dirt. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks!

First impressions from the jpg is that this really does provide a nice set of solutions. It is unclear to me to what extent this has been rolled in to permission_select. Can anyone clarify. I really like the options you provide to 'select all' both horizontally (by module and module sub-elements) and vertically.

Peted,

nothing has been done to integrate this AFAIK since the last update to the permission_select module was 2 months before I released this; I never heard back from the author of the permission_select after attempting to contact him a couple of times regarding integration, so I gave up. This module does work just fine. Give it a spin if you wish - http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/check_heavy_ui-6.x-1.x-dev.tar.gz .
