Thank you all very much for the comments, suggestions, requests and everything else! I am sorry to inform that I don´t know when I will have enough free time again to work with this project. I´d like to make some improvements in the plugin, but I have absolutely no plans on making a version 1.0.x co...

:laugh: Congratulations! :laugh: I am proud of being author of more or less FOUR lines of code of the Joomla! 1.5 Yeah... ain´t much, but 1 million lines is made of a bunch of 1 lines... isn´t it? Joomla! Team, Core Developers, Working Groups Managers, Doc Team, and everyone else... Thank you very ...

I released J! (1.5 RC3) website with this plugin at november 15th. I couldn´t wait RC4 or stable... It´s a very simple site. No problem. And I am not using the known unstable features.

Now you can find the plugin in the Extensions Directory: :laugh:

>>> Notify Admin <<<

With the recent clean up in the code, I changed the version number from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 -

version "101"

I'd like to ask something that I found weird. $plugin =& JPluginHelper::getPlugin( 'system' , 'notifyadmin' ); $params = new JParameter( $plugin->params ); Do we have to use that code? I think the constructor pass the params to a property of the class. This is a code example from one of my plugins:...

But... take a look at the portuguese language file! # $Id: pt-BR.plg_system_notifyadmin.ini # Joomla! Project # Copyright (C) 2005 - 2007 Open Source Matters.

The language file has all the used STRINGS that outputs TEXT to the USER, in the following places/ways: - XML description tag - XML label and description attributes from param tags - JText ::_( ' string ' ) used by the plugin (after loading the plugin language file!) # $Id: en-GB.plg_system_notifyad...

So, here is the "REAL" plugin code: <?php function onAfterRoute() { $user =& JFactory::getUser(); $isAuthor = ($user->usertype == 'Author'); $isSaving = (JRequest::getCmd( 'task' ) == 'save') && (JRequest::getCmd( 'option' ) == 'com_content'); if ($isAuthor && $isSaving) { $lang =& JFactory::g...

Now, let´s see the plugin php code. First, the "skeleton": <?php defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' ); class plgSystemNotifyadmin extends JPlugin { /** * Constructor * * For php4 compatability we must not use the __constructor as a constructor for plugins * b...

Let´s see the XML file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <install version="1.5" type="plugin" group="system"> <name>System - Notify admin plugin</name> <version>1.0.1</version> <author>J Bruni</author> <creationDate>November 2007</cr...

I will share some experiences from the "making of" my first Plugin. Please, download it and unzip: http://br.geocities.com/joaohbruni/plugin_1.5_notify_admin.zip You will see there are only 4 files in there: 1- notifyadmin.xml (the Plugin installation and configuration file) 2- notifyadmin.ph...

Time to go to sleep. I shall continue tomorrow with JNode class . Keep in mind that you may extend JNode class , and then you have JTree and JNode features avaiable to make a tree from your custom object: it means, you are able to make trees from every object you want : JOranges, JApples, and so on ...

The getParent method gets the parent of the current node and sets it as the current node. function getParent() { $this->_current =& $this->_current->getParent(); } Be careful not to call this method when the current node is the root node! In this case, the current node will be set to null. http://fo...

jbruni

And JTree provides three methods: addChild , getParent and reset . function addChild(&$node, $setCurrent = false) { $this->_current->addChild($node); if ($setCurrent) { $this->_current =& $node; } } For example: <?php $tree = new JTree; $node = new JNode; $tree->addChild($node, true); ?> The addChil...

jbruni

JTree have two private properties: var $_root = null; // Root node var $_current = null; // Current working node Yes, the root and the current nodes. Both are initialized in the constructor: function __construct() { $this->_root = new JNode('ROOT'); $this->_current = & $this->_root; } F...

http://www.kidsdomain.com/holiday/winter/clip/tree.gif Before discovering what this mysterious masterpiece snippet does, and how we should use it, we shall think about what TREE is it all about! Certainly, it is not a Christmas tree... but a folder tree, or an XML tree, or a hierarchic content summ...

Maybe next subpackage/class overview won´t be detailed so much "from the inside" as "from the outside" (we shall study only the HOW TO USE aspect). But for now let´s keep our scuba diving method. Here is JTree class definition code (comments ripped): <?php class JTree extends JObject { var $_root =...

Getting started? There is a good discussion about if the approach of this "Getting started" series is a good starting point to begginers ... In short: it MAY be a nice starting point, among many others that are possible. Possibly, this approach is very interesting to a few, while most others w...

What do I think? Let me think... I can´t express exactly in english (I´d like to use my primary language, portuguese, here...) I kind of agree with Bruce (bascherz), I mean, he expressed some ideas that I am concerned (I have been thinking) about: [quote=∓quot;bascherz"\]I don't know if it's...

Although some design patterns are complex, others are not. Joomla! 1.5 uses many design patterns and knowing some of them can be very helpful for the developer. I just wrote about the Observer Pattern , implemented by JObserver and JObservable classes in the Joomla Framework, and it may be a debut i...

jbruni

Well... I am trying to do my best, but please warn me if something is incorrect in this "Getting Started" series!

Any other comment or advice is welcome.

Thank you!

Now you understood brightly the power that underlies those interesting JObserver and JObservable classes, let´s take a look at the http://api.joomla.org/media/images/Class.png JObservable class ! <?php class JObservable extends JObject { var $_observers = array(); // An array of Observer objects to ...

jbruni

It was a joy for me to write for you again. I hope it helps. Joomla! is big... this is the tip of the iceberg... But I won´t think about that!

Time to go to bed. I shall continue tomorrow.

May every beings in all worlds be happy and joyfull!

A JObserver observes and responds to a JObservable notification . When you call JObserver constructor , instantiating an observer object , you should pass a JObservable instance as its parameter . This will make the link between the JObserver and its JObservable object : $observer = new JObserver($o...

Now I´m writing "Getting Started - part 2 - JObserver and JObservable", classes from the same Base subpackage.

jbruni

Let´s continue our http://api.joomla.org/media/images/package.png Base subpackage review. We already saw http://api.joomla.org/media/images/Class.png JObject class defined in object.php , at Getting Started - JObject thread.

I wrote a post here, about the getPublicProperties method (JObject).

I didn´t mention protected properties. Is $_errors property private or protected? I´d like to hear some words before modifying my post.

Thank you!
