<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 several configuration options including the min/maximum values for GIDs.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<table style="width: 100%; text-align: left;" class="mod-code" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">

$configContainer->addElement(new htmlSubTitle(_("Groups")), true);<br>
|
|
$minGidInput = new
|
|
htmlTableExtendedInputField(_('Minimum GID number'),
|
|
'posixGroup_minGID', null, 'minMaxGID');<br>
|
|
$minGidInput->setRequired(true);<br>
|
|
$configContainer->addElement($minGidInput, true);<br>
|
|
$maxGidInput = new
|
|
htmlTableExtendedInputField(_('Maximum GID number'),
|
|
'posixGroup_maxGID', null, 'minMaxGID');<br>
|
|
$maxGidInput->setRequired(true);<br>
|
|
$configContainer->addElement($maxGidInput, true);<br>

[...]<br>
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</tbody>
|
|
</table>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The min/maximum GID numbers are defined with simple text boxes.<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>
