Member Function Documentation

check_access()

part_of_admin_tree::check_access

(

)

Verifies current user's access to this part_of_admin_tree.

Used to check if the current user has access to this part of the admin tree or not. If a class only inherits part_of_admin_tree and not parentable_part_of_admin_tree, then this method is usually just a call to has_capability() in the site context.

If a class inherits parentable_part_of_admin_tree, this method should return the logical OR of the return of check_access() on all child objects.

Return values

bool	True if the user has access, false if she doesn't.

Implemented in admin_settingpage, admin_externalpage, and admin_category.

is_hidden()

part_of_admin_tree::is_hidden

(

)

Mostly useful for removing of some parts of the tree in admin tree block.

Return values

True	is hidden from normal list view

Implemented in admin_settingpage, admin_externalpage, and admin_category.

locate()

part_of_admin_tree::locate

(

$name

)

Finds a named part_of_admin_tree.

Used to find a part_of_admin_tree. If a class only inherits part_of_admin_tree and not parentable_part_of_admin_tree, then this function should only check if $this->name matches $name. If it does, it should return a reference to $this, otherwise, it should return a reference to NULL.

If a class inherits parentable_part_of_admin_tree, this method should be called recursively on all child objects (assuming, of course, the parent object's name doesn't match the search criterion).

Parameters

string

$name

The internal name of the part_of_admin_tree we're searching for.

Return values

mixed

An object reference or a NULL reference.

prune()

part_of_admin_tree::prune

(

$name

)

Removes named part_of_admin_tree.

Parameters

string

$name

The internal name of the part_of_admin_tree we want to remove.

Return values

bool

success.

Implemented in admin_settingpage, admin_externalpage, and admin_category.

search()

part_of_admin_tree::search

(

$query

)

Search using query.

Parameters

string

$query

Return values

mixed

array-object structure of found settings and pages

Implemented in assign_admin_page_manage_assign_plugins, admin_page_managefilters, admin_page_managerepositories, admin_page_manageportfolios, admin_page_manageqtypes, admin_page_manageqbehaviours, admin_page_managemessageoutputs, admin_page_manageblocks, admin_page_managemods, admin_settingpage, admin_externalpage, and admin_category.

show_save()

part_of_admin_tree::show_save

(

)

Show we display Save button at the page bottom?

Return values

bool

Implemented in admin_settingpage, admin_externalpage, and admin_category.
