39 * Sample plugin main class
41 * Each plugin requires a main class to interact with the StatusNet system.
43 * The main class usually extends the Plugin class that comes with StatusNet.
45 * The class has standard-named methods that will be called when certain events
46 * happen in the code base. These methods have names like 'onX' where X is an
47 * event name (see EVENTS.txt for the list of available events). Event handlers
48 * have pre-defined arguments, based on which event they're handling. A typical
51 * function onSomeEvent($paramA, &$paramB)
53 * if ($paramA == 'jed') {
54 * throw new Exception(sprintf(_m("Invalid parameter %s"), $paramA));
60 * Event handlers must return a boolean value. If they return false, all other
61 * event handlers for this event (in other plugins) will be skipped, and in some
62 * cases the default processing for that event would be skipped. This is great for
63 * replacing the default action of an event.
65 * If the handler returns true, processing of other event handlers and the default
66 * processing will continue. This is great for extending existing functionality.
68 * If the handler throws an exception, processing will stop, and the exception's
69 * error will be shown to the user.
71 * To install a plugin (like this one), site admins add the following code to
72 * their config.php file:
74 * addPlugin('Sample');
76 * Plugins must be installed in one of the following directories:
78 * local/plugins/{$pluginclass}.php
79 * local/plugins/{$name}/{$pluginclass}.php
80 * local/{$pluginclass}.php
81 * local/{$name}/{$pluginclass}.php
82 * plugins/{$pluginclass}.php
83 * plugins/{$name}/{$pluginclass}.php
85 * Here, {$name} is the name of the plugin, like 'Sample', and {$pluginclass} is
86 * the name of the main class, like 'SamplePlugin'. Plugins that are part of the
87 * main StatusNet distribution go in 'plugins' and third-party or local ones go
90 * Simple plugins can be implemented as a single module. Others are more complex
91 * and require additional modules; these should use their own directory, like
92 * 'local/plugins/{$name}/'. All files related to the plugin, including images,
93 * JavaScript, CSS, external libraries or PHP modules should go in the plugin

105 class SamplePlugin extends Plugin
108 * Plugins are configured using public instance attributes. To set
109 * their values, site administrators use this syntax:
111 * addPlugin('Sample', array('attr1' => 'foo', 'attr2' => 'bar'));
113 * The same plugin class can be initialized multiple times with different
116 * addPlugin('EmailNotify', array('sendTo' => 'evan@status.net'));
117 * addPlugin('EmailNotify', array('sendTo' => 'brionv@status.net'));
121 public $attr1 = null;
122 public $attr2 = null;
125 * Initializer for this plugin
127 * Plugins overload this method to do any initialization they need,
128 * like connecting to remote servers or creating paths or so on.
130 * @return boolean hook value; true means continue processing, false means stop.
133 function initialize()
139 * Cleanup for this plugin
141 * Plugins overload this method to do any cleanup they need,
142 * like disconnecting from remote servers or deleting temp files or so on.
144 * @return boolean hook value; true means continue processing, false means stop.
153 * Database schema setup
155 * Plugins can add their own tables to the StatusNet database. Plugins
156 * should use StatusNet's schema interface to add or delete tables. The
157 * ensureTable() method provides an easy way to ensure a table's structure
160 * By default, the schema is checked every time StatusNet is run (say, when
161 * a Web page is hit). Admins can configure their systems to only check the
162 * schema when the checkschema.php script is run, greatly improving performance.
163 * However, they need to remember to run that script after installing or
164 * upgrading a plugin!
169 * @return boolean hook value; true means continue processing, false means stop.
172 function onCheckSchema()
174 $schema = Schema::get();
176 // For storing user-submitted flags on profiles
178 $schema->ensureTable('user_greeting_count',
179 array(new ColumnDef('user_id', 'integer', null,
181 new ColumnDef('greeting_count', 'integer')));
187 * Load related modules when needed
189 * Most non-trivial plugins will require extra modules to do their work. Typically
190 * these include data classes, action classes, widget classes, or external libraries.
192 * This method receives a class name and loads the PHP file related to that class. By
193 * tradition, action classes typically have files named for the action, all lower-case.
194 * Data classes are in files with the data class name, initial letter capitalized.
196 * Note that this method will be called for *all* overloaded classes, not just ones
197 * in this plugin! So, make sure to return true by default to let other plugins, and
198 * the core code, get a chance.
200 * @param string $cls Name of the class to be loaded
202 * @return boolean hook value; true means continue processing, false means stop.
205 function onAutoload($cls)
207 $dir = dirname(__FILE__);
212 include_once $dir . '/' . strtolower(mb_substr($cls, 0, -6)) . '.php';
214 case 'User_greeting_count':
215 include_once $dir . '/'.$cls.'.php';
223 * Map URLs to actions
225 * This event handler lets the plugin map URLs on the site to actions (and
226 * thus an action handler class). Note that the action handler class for an
227 * action will be named 'FoobarAction', where action = 'foobar'. The class
228 * must be loaded in the onAutoload() method.
230 * @param Net_URL_Mapper $m path-to-action mapper
232 * @return boolean hook value; true means continue processing, false means stop.
235 function onRouterInitialized($m)
237 $m->connect('main/hello',
238 array('action' => 'hello'));
243 * Modify the default menu to link to our custom action
245 * Using event handlers, it's possible to modify the default UI for pages
246 * almost without limit. In this method, we add a menu item to the default
247 * primary menu for the interface to link to our action.
249 * The Action class provides a rich set of events to hook, as well as output
252 * @param Action $action The current action handler. Use this to
255 * @return boolean hook value; true means continue processing, false means stop.
260 function onEndPrimaryNav($action)
262 // common_local_url() gets the correct URL for the action name
265 $action->menuItem(common_local_url('hello'),
266 _m('Hello'), _m('A warm greeting'), false, 'nav_hello');
270 function onPluginVersion(&$versions)
272 $versions[] = array('name' => 'Sample',
273 'version' => STATUSNET_VERSION,
274 'author' => 'Brion Vibber, Evan Prodromou',
275 'homepage' => 'http://status.net/wiki/Plugin:Sample',
