NAME
OpenGuides::CGI - An OpenGuides helper for CGI-related things.
DESCRIPTION
Does CGI stuff for OpenGuides. Distributed and installed as part of the OpenGuides project, not intended for independent installation.
This documentation is probably only useful to OpenGuides developers.
SYNOPSIS
Saving preferences in a cookie:
use OpenGuides::CGI;
use OpenGuides::Config;
use OpenGuides::Template;
use OpenGuides::Utils;
my $config = OpenGuides::Config->new( file => "wiki.conf" );
my $cookie = OpenGuides::CGI->make_prefs_cookie(
config => $config,
username => "Kake",
include_geocache_link => 1,
preview_above_edit_box => 1,
latlong_traditional => 1,
omit_help_links => 1,
show_minor_edits_in_rc => 1,
default_edit_type => "tidying",
cookie_expires => "never",
track_recent_changes_views => 1,
display_google_maps => 1,
is_admin => 1
);
my $wiki = OpenGuides::Utils->make_wiki_object( config => $config );
print OpenGuides::Template->output( wiki => $wiki,
config => $config,
template => "preferences.tt",
cookies => $cookie
);
# and to retrive prefs later:
my %prefs = OpenGuides::CGI->get_prefs_from_cookie(
config => $config
);
Tracking visits to Recent Changes:
use OpenGuides::CGI;
use OpenGuides::Config;
use OpenGuides::Template;
use OpenGuides::Utils;
my $config = OpenGuides::Config->new( file => "wiki.conf" );
my $cookie = OpenGuides::CGI->make_recent_changes_cookie(
config => $config,
);
METHODS
make_prefs_cookie
my $cookie = OpenGuides::CGI->make_prefs_cookie(
config => $config,
username => "Kake",
include_geocache_link => 1,
preview_above_edit_box => 1,
latlong_traditional => 1,
omit_help_links => 1,
show_minor_edits_in_rc => 1,
default_edit_type => "tidying",
cookie_expires => "never",
track_recent_changes_views => 1,
display_google_maps => 1,
is_admin => 1
);
Croaks unless an OpenGuides::Config object is supplied as "config". Acceptable values for "cookie_expires" are "never", "month",
"year"; anything else will default to "month".
get_prefs_from_cookie
my %prefs = OpenGuides::CGI->get_prefs_from_cookie(
config => $config,
cookies => @cookies
);
Croaks unless an OpenGuides::Config object is supplied as "config". Returns default values for any parameter not specified in cookie.
If "cookies" is provided, this overrides any cookies submitted by the browser.
make_recent_changes_cookie
my $cookie = OpenGuides::CGI->make_recent_changes_cookie(
config => $config,
);
Makes a cookie that stores the time now as the time of the latest visit to Recent Changes. Or, if "clear_cookie" is specified and
true, makes a cookie with an expiration date in the past:
my $cookie = OpenGuides::CGI->make_recent_changes_cookie(
config => $config,
clear_cookie => 1,
);
get_last_recent_changes_visit_from_cookie
my %prefs = OpenGuides::CGI->get_last_recent_changes_visit_from_cookie(
config => $config
);
Croaks unless an OpenGuides::Config object is supplied as "config". Returns the time (as seconds since epoch) of the user's last visit
to Recent Changes.
