Other way to use Roller

[Isaac Joan Melis i Pons <ij...@peretarres.org>]

Hello, 

At first congratulations for all developers, testers and Roller Community, Roller is great.

My question is: 

Is there any way which can I register users, create sites and assign users to sites using my own forms connecting directly with Roller's database?

Thank you for advance,

Isaac

No, not without some programming. And I would not recommend changing  
the database directly. It would be much better to add a web service  
to Roller to process admin requests using the Roller APIs. Most large  
Roller sites have done this type of work, but none have contributed  
this work back to Roller (probably because their code was too

I'd like to see a web services interface for admin built right into  
Roller, so I'm happy to see Jeff Blattman's Atom-based admin protocol  
proposal. Take a look. Does it have what you need?
