Member Function Documentation

check_access()

admin_externalpage::check_access

(

)

Determines if the current user has access to this external page based on $this->req_capability.

Is this external page hidden in admin tree block?

Return values

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

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	defaults to false

Return values

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