<h1>Module HowTo - Configuration options<br>
 | 
						|
</h1>
 | 
						|
<div style="text-align: left;"><br>
 | 
						|
There might be situations where you want to give the user the
 | 
						|
possibility to make general settings which are not useful to place on
 | 
						|
the account detail pages or profile editor.<br>
 | 
						|
Therefore LAM allows the modules to define their own configuration
 | 
						|
options. E.g. the <span style="font-style: italic;">posixAccount</span>
 | 
						|
module uses this to define the ranges for the UIDs.<br>
 | 
						|
LAM will display your configuration options only if the user also
 | 
						|
selected your module.<br>
 | 
						|
</div>
 | 
						|
<div style="text-align: left;"><br>
 | 
						|
<h2>1. Defining configuration options<br>
 | 
						|
</h2>
 | 
						|
First you have to define what options you want to offer the user. LAM
 | 
						|
will display all options in one fieldset for each module. Please notice
 | 
						|
that there will be no separation on account types if you module is
 | 
						|
suitable for different account types.<br>
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
The configuration options are specified with <span style="font-weight: bold;">get_configOptions()</span>
 | 
						|
or <span style="font-weight: bold;">meta['config_options']</span>.<br>
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
<span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Example:</span><br style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
The <span style="font-style: italic;">posixGroup</span> module offers
 | 
						|
three configuration options. The min/maximum values for GIDs and the
 | 
						|
password hash type.<br>
 | 
						|

						|

<br>
 | 
						|
The min/maximum GID numbers are defined with simple text boxes. The
 | 
						|
password hash is selected with a drop down box and SSHA as default
 | 
						|
value.<br>
 | 
						|
You should make sure that the column count (here: 6) is the same for
 | 
						|
each row. Otherwise the configuration page might be badly rendered by
 | 
						|
the browser.<br>
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
<h2>2. Checking user input</h2>
 | 
						|
Probably you also want to check if the input data is syntactically
 | 
						|
correct.<br>
 | 
						|
The <span style="font-style: italic;">baseModule</span> already
 | 
						|
provides different checks which can be activated with <span style="font-style: italic;">meta data</span>. However you can also do
 | 
						|
the checking in the module.<br>
 | 
						|
Implementing the function <span style="font-weight: bold;">check_configOptions()</span>
 | 
						|
in your module will allow you to do the checks yourself. Basic checks
 | 
						|
can be defined with <span style="font-weight: bold;">meta['config_checks']</span>.<br>
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
<span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Example:</span><br style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
The <span style="font-style: italic;">posixGroup</span> module only
 | 
						|
needs to check if the GID numbers are correct. The password hash type
 | 
						|
needs not to be checked as it is a selection.<br>

The type <span style="font-weight: bold;">"ext_preg"</span> means that
 | 
						|
the <span style="font-style: italic;">baseModule</span> will use the <span style="font-style: italic;">get_preg()</span> function in <span style="font-style: italic;">lib/account.inc</span> for the syntax
 | 
						|
check. This function already contains regular expressions for the most
 | 
						|
common cases.<br>
 | 
						|
To check if the minimum GID is smaller than the maximum GID we define a
 | 
						|
check for the nonexistant option "cmpGID" and define it as optional.
 | 
						|
This will do the comparison check.<br>
