Detailed Description

Abstract class for blog_filter objects.

A set of core filters are implemented here. To write new filters, you need to subclass blog_filter and give it the name of the type you want (for example, blog_filter_entry). The blog_filter abstract class will automatically use it when the filter is added to the URL. The first parameter of the constructor is the ID of your filter, but it can be a string or have any other meaning you wish it to have. The second parameter is called $type and is used as a sub-type for filters that have a very similar implementation (see blog_filter_context for an example)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __construct()

blog_filter::__construct (   $id,
  $type = null 
)

Reimplemented in blog_filter_context, and blog_filter_user.

Member Function Documentation

◆ get_instance()

static blog_filter::get_instance (   $id,
  $type 
)

TODO This is poor design.

A parent class should not know anything about its children. The default case helps to resolve this design issue

Member Data Documentation

◆ $availabletypes

array blog_filter::$availabletypes = array()

An array of strings representing the available filter types for each blog_filter.
