<div style="text-align: left;">The <span style="font-weight: bold;">baseModule</span>
|
|
is the parent class of all account modules. <br>
|
|
It implements most functions of the <a
|
|
href="modules-specification.htm">module interface</a> and provides
|
|
the possibility to use <span style="font-style: italic;">meta data</span>
|
|
for the module functions.<br>
|
|
There are also some class variables which are useful for the child
|
|
classes.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<h2>Meta data</h2>
|
|
The <span style="font-weight: bold;">baseModule</span> allows you to
|
|
not implement the <a href="modules-specification.htm">module
|
|
interface</a> directly but to provide <span style="font-style: italic;">meta
|
|
data</span> which is interpreted by the <span
|
|
style="font-weight: bold;">baseModule</span>.<br>
|
|
If you do not use certain functions of the interface the <span
|
|
style="font-weight: bold;">baseModule</span> also provides dummy
|
|
functions. E.g. if your module needs no configuration option you can
|
|
just skip this function in your code and the <span
|
|
style="font-weight: bold;">baseModule</span> will tell the
|
|
configuration part that there is no option.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
To <span style="font-style: italic;">define meta</span> data you have
|
|
to implement the function <span
|
|
style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">get_metaData()</span>.
|
|
This function must return a hash array with the meta options as array
|
|
keys.<br>
|
|
Please refer to the <a href="modules-specification.htm">module
|
|
interface</a> for details about the format of <span
|
|
style="font-style: italic;">meta data</span>.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<h2>Functions<br>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<span style="font-weight: bold;">get_scope():</span> This function
|
|
returns the account type ("user", "group", ...) of the module.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
For a list of <span style="font-style: italic;">meta data</span>
|
|
functions please refer to the <a href="modules-specification.htm">module
|
|
interface</a>.<br>

<h2>Class variables</h2>
|
|
<span style="font-weight: bold;">$moduleSettings:</span> This variable
