Methods

__call()

All method calls which are not defined within the plugin are forwarded to the module Therefore it is possible to get, e.g. the label by calling the getSuiteName() method.

public __call(mixed $methodName, mixed $methodArguments) : mixed|string
Parameters
$methodName : mixed
$methodArguments : mixed

_construct()

The construct method may be used to initialize custom plugin properties it is called immediately after instantiating the plugin all arguments passed to the getPlugins method are also available in this method.

public _construct() : void
Tags
Return values
void

addAlternativePluginFolder()

A path to a specific folder in which should be search for plugins.

public static addAlternativePluginFolder(mixed $sPluginFolder) : void
Parameters
$sPluginFolder : mixed
Tags
Return values
void

disableSafeMode()

This function is used to disable the SafeMode functionality entirely(including the GUI Components)

public disableSafeMode() : bool

FALSE (default for Items with the CHECKOUT-Interface) means that the SafeMode is active (including GUI Components) TRUE means that the SafeMode will be disabled completely for the import

Tags
Return values
bool

getAlternativePluginFolder()

public static getAlternativePluginFolder() : array<string|int, mixed>
Tags
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

getLevel()

The getLevel method may be overwritten in the plugins and defines the order, the plugins are called, where the highest level is called first.

public getLevel() : int

The method can also be set for all plugins within a module by overwriting the modules getLevel method.

Tags
Return values
int

the level of the plugin where it is called

getMetaData()

Returns the CSMetaData of the current plugin.

public getMetaData() : CSMetaData
Tags
access

public

Return values
CSMetaData

getModule()

Returns the module, if the plugin is defined within a module.

public getModule() : CSModule

This method can be used in the plugin api and the plugin wherever access to the defining module is required. If it is used in the Api, it should be noticed that this method may return null, if the plugin is directly defined in the projects or admin.local plugins directory.

Tags
Return values
CSModule

the module object, if the plugin defined in a module or null otherwise

getPlugin()

Returns a CSPlugin for the given plugin type and plugin class name.

public static getPlugin(string $pluginApiPath, string $className[, mixed $arguments = NULL ]) : CSPlugin|null

As standard behaviour the module subfolder is guessed from the forward URL parameter. If a plugin should point to something in a special module subfolder, this scope can be added by adding the module name in squared bracket at the end of the $pluginApiPath, e.g. 'core/api/plugins/CSRecordPlugin.php[pms]' to get all CSRecordPlugins defined for pms records.

Parameters
$pluginApiPath : string

The relative path in filesystem for the requested plugin api (optional: ending with the module subfolder).

$className : string

The target plugin class name, which should be loaded.

$arguments : mixed = NULL

one or multiple arguments which should be passed to the isAvailable method.

Tags
Return values
CSPlugin|null

Returns the requested plugin for the given parameter.

getPluginChooser()

Returns an array all defined CSPlugins for the current plugin type

public static getPluginChooser(string $pluginApiPath[, mixed $arguments = NULL ]) : array<string|int, mixed>
Parameters
$pluginApiPath : string

the relative path in filesystem for the requested plugin api (optional: ending with the module subfolder).

$arguments : mixed = NULL

one ore multiple arguments which should be passed to the isAvailable method.

public static getPlugins(string $pluginApiPath[, mixed $arguments = NULL ]) : array<string|int, CSPlugin>

As standard behaviour the module subfolder is guessed from the forward URL parameter. If a plugin should point to something in a special module subfolder, this scope can be added by adding the module name in squared bracket at the end of the $pluginApiPath, e.g. 'core/api/plugins/CSRecordPlugin.php[pms]' to get all CSRecordPlugins defined for pms records.

isAvailable()

This method is called to check, whether the plugin is available.

public isAvailable() : bool

For simpler usage of the plugin concept: This method should be overwritten with the correct signature for a plugin call, if arguments are passed.

updateChangedDataBeforeImport()

This function is called when the importer has already identified the differences from the database and the importFile. It can be used to check / manipulate the values right before the import starts.

public updateChangedDataBeforeImport(array<string|int, mixed> $array, object $oRecord) : array<string|int, mixed>

the key of the first-dimension is the Record-ID. the second dimension contains the changes of this item (the fieldnames are used as key).

Example: array( [201] => array( [0] => array( //complete CSV line fot he specific id (here 201) [Label] => 'New Label', //new value [FieldName#123] => 'New FieldValue', ... ), [1] => array( [Label] => array( //changed field [0] => 'Label', //old value of the field [1] => 'New Label' //new value of the field ), [FieldName#123] => array( [0] => 'FieldValue', [1] => 'New FieldValue' ), ... ), [202] => array ( ... ) )

Parameters
$array : array<string|int, mixed>

An array including only changes

$oRecord : object

A record containing the type of Record

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

updateDataBeforeImport()

This function can be used to manipulate the raw data right after the fileupload for the CSRecordImporter.

public updateDataBeforeImport(array<string|int, mixed> $aCSVData, object $oRecord) : array<string|int, mixed>

$aCSVData is an 1:1 2-dimensional array-representation of the uploaded file. The first Dimension represents the line. The second dimension contains all values for one item (the field descriptions are the keys of the array-buckets).

Example: array( [0] => array( //first item [Label] => 'Label', //value [FieldName#123] => 'FieldValue', ... ), [1] => array( //second item [Label] => 'Label2', [FieldName#123] => 'FieldValue2', ... ), ... )

An array representing the file

$oRecord : object

A record containing the type of Record

Tags
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

The manipulated value-array

This function manipulates the export array on already changed records by CSRecordImporter (used for the comparison right after the import where checks are made if the values are really in the database as wished).

public updateExportDataAfterImport(array<string|int, mixed> $array, object $oRecord) : array<string|int, mixed>

CAUTION: By default the function is called.
