metaHTML in the phpdoc documentation.
Attention: The getSelfServiceOptions()
function no longer supports the old meta HTML. The other functions will
support the old array-based meta HTML elements only until Q2/2011!

fields. You can use this by returning an associative array for the PDF
fields (e.g. array('macAddress' => _('MAC address'))) in get_pdfFields() or the meta data.
The old format is still supported. LAM will continue to show the field
name as label in this case.

settings use $this->selfServiceSettings->moduleSettings.
2.2.0 -> 2.3.0
Style changes
If you have defined your own account types then you need to update your
CSS files (style/type_<type>.css).
Please change "table.<type>list input,select" to
"table.<type>list input,select,button" and
"fieldset.<type>edit input" to "fieldset.<type>edit
input,select,button". "fieldset.<type>edit select" may be deleted
afterwards.

Account lists
Account lists now support to define tools. These are displayed as
linked images like the edit and delete links in the list.
Overwrite lamList::getAdditionalTools()
to use this feature.

longer available. Use these functions instead: lamList::listGetAllConfigOptions()
and lamList::listConfigurationChanged().
All options are now saved in cookies for one year.
Base module
The baseModule class has a new
protected option: $autoAddObjectClasses
You can set it to false if you do not want that your module's
object classes are added when creating or loading an account.
Account modules can now have icons. See baseModule->getIcon().
Constructors
LAM now uses the PHP5 syntax for constructors: __construct()
Extended security model
Each server profile now defines an access level.
Currently these are:
- write access
- password changes
- read access
Please check your code and
prohibit any actions which do not fit the current access level.
There are two new functions in security.inc:
checkIfWriteAccessIsAllowed()
and checkIfPasswordChangeIsAllowed()
Only LAM Pro allows to change the access level from write access to a smaller level.
2.0.0 -> 2.1.0
Style changes
- "fieldset.<type>edit fieldset" and
"fieldset.<type>edit fieldset fieldset" were removed.
- "table.<type>list input" changed to "table.<type>list
input,select"
baseModule
The class variable $base
is no longer visible in child classes. Please use $this->getAccountContainer() to
access the accountContainer object.
Several other class variables in accountContainer etc. are now private.
Use the new access methods.
1.3.0 -> 2.0.0
LAM is now PHP5 only. Several variables are now private and need to be
accessed via functions.

This function allows you to control how the LDAP attributes are
displayed in the table. This can be used to display links or binary
data.
- listPrintAdditionalOptions():
If you want to display additional conrols for a list please use this
function. The controls will be placed under the account table.

API changes
- removed get_configDescription() from module interface

array(array('INFO', 'headline', 'text'), array('INFO', 'headline2',
'text2')))
1.0.0 -> 1.0.2
New module functions

- getManagedObjectClasses: Definition of managed object classes for
this module
- getLDAPAliases: list of LDAP alias names which are replaced by LAM
- getManagedAttributes: list of LDAP attributes which are managed

your module does not implement the load_attributes() function then you
have to use getManagedAttributes() or the meta data to specify them.
The class variable "triggered_messages" in baseModule was removed.
