Using --key option and authenticated link.

[xt0ph]

As I saw in #1 I try to activate the restrictions in Ehercalc.

I have to added '--key' in launching the Ethercal server and now when I open an existing sheet, her is opened in view mode and when i adds '/edit' to the url i can modify it, great. But there is a problem: the icons in the toolbar are not showing in edit mode, how to fix this?

And I continue the configuration to activate and use authenticated links always in #1, it is indicated to modify the file 'main.coffee', but in my version i not found this file. The only file that contains the line "@ get '/: room / edit': ->" is "src/main.ls" and when I commented these 3 lines nothing is happening. What I forgot?

Thank you very much for your response

Ok, I answer to myself because I solved my two previous points, the first is fixed by put a rewriting rule in nginx, and the second by modifying the 'main.ls' file instead of 'main.coffee' and by executing the makefile.
But in this case, if the sheets are editable only by '... / Room? Auth = ', on the other side each has its local version and there is more collaboration on the same sheet.

Am I the only one to have this pb?

Hi! Sorry for the late reply.

If you are integrating EtherCalc to a CMS, please make sure that that ?auth= parameter is correctly calculated. Sample code below is in Node.js:

    var KEY = '...'; // the --key parameter passed to app.js
    var SHEET = '...'; // the spreadsheet name being authenticated
    var encoder = require('crypto').createHmac('sha256', KEY);
    encoder.update(SHEET);
    var auth = encoder.digest('hex');

This calculation is done by /SHEET/edit automatically, so another way is to make a server-side request against that URL and parse its redirection response.

Hope this helps!
