Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__construct()

admin_root::__construct

(

$fulltree

)

Parameters

bool

$fulltree

true means all settings required, false only pages required

Member Function Documentation

__get()

admin_category::__get (   $property )

inherited

Magically gets a property from this object.

Parameters

$property

Return values

part_of_admin_tree[]

Exceptions

coding_exception

__isset()

admin_category::__isset (   $property )

inherited

Checks if an inaccessible property is set.

Parameters

string

$property

Return values

bool

Exceptions

coding_exception

__set()

admin_category::__set (   $property,   $value  )

inherited

Magically sets a property against this object.

Parameters

string	$property
mixed	$value

Exceptions

coding_exception

add()

admin_category::add (   $parentname,   $something,   $beforesibling = null  )

inherited

Adds a part_of_admin_tree to a child or grandchild (or great-grandchild, and so forth) of this object.

By default the new part of the tree is appended as the last child of the parent. You can specify a sibling node that the new part should be prepended to. If the given sibling is not found, the part is appended to the end (as it would be by default) and a developer debugging message is displayed.

Exceptions

coding_exception

if the $beforesibling is empty string or is not string at all.

Parameters

string	$destinationame	The internal name of the immediate parent that we want for $something.
mixed	$something	A part_of_admin_tree or setting instance to be added.
string	$beforesibling	The name of the parent's child the $something should be prepended to.

Return values

bool	True if successfully added, false if $something can not be added.

Implements parentable_part_of_admin_tree.

check_access()

admin_category::check_access ( )

inherited

Checks if the user has access to anything in this category.

Return values

bool	True if the user has access to at least one child in this category, false otherwise.

Implements part_of_admin_tree.

get_children()

admin_category::get_children ( )

inherited

Returns the children associated with this category.

Return values

part_of_admin_tree[]

is_hidden()

admin_category::is_hidden ( )

inherited

Is this category hidden in admin tree block?

Return values

bool	True if hidden

Implements part_of_admin_tree.

locate() [1/2]

part_of_admin_tree::locate (   $name )

inherited

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.

locate() [2/2]

admin_category::locate (   $name,   $findpath = false  )

inherited

Returns a reference to the part_of_admin_tree object with internal name $name.

Parameters

string	$name	The internal name of the object we want.
bool	$findpath	initialize path and visiblepath arrays

Return values

mixed

A reference to the object with internal name $name if found, otherwise a reference to NULL. defaults to false

prune()

admin_category::prune (   $name )

inherited

Removes part_of_admin_tree object with internal name $name.

Parameters

string

$name

The internal name of the object we want to remove.

Return values

bool

success

Implements part_of_admin_tree.

purge_children()

admin_root::purge_children

(

$requirefulltree

)

Empties children array, and sets loaded to false.

Parameters

bool

$requirefulltree

search()

admin_category::search (   $query )

inherited

Search using query.

Parameters

string

query

Return values

mixed

array-object structure of found settings and pages

Implements part_of_admin_tree.

set_sorting()

admin_category::set_sorting (   $sort,   $asc = true,   $split = true  )

inherited

Sets sorting on this category.

Please note this function doesn't actually do the sorting. It can be called anytime. Sorting occurs when the user calls get_children. Code using the children array directly won't see the sorted results.

Parameters

bool	$sort	If set to true children will be sorted, if false they won't be.
bool	$asc	If true sorting will be ascending, otherwise descending.
bool	$split	If true we sort pages and sub categories separately.

show_save()

admin_category::show_save ( )

inherited

Show we display Save button at the page bottom?

Return values

bool

Implements part_of_admin_tree.

Member Data Documentation

$name

string admin_category::$name

inherited

An internal name for this category.

Must be unique amongst ALL part_of_admin_tree objects

$sortsplit

bool admin_category::$sortsplit = true

protectedinherited

If set to true sub categories and pages will be split and then sorted.

$visiblename

string admin_category::$visiblename

inherited

The displayed name for this category.

Usually obtained through get_string()
