Datamanager 2 URL-name datatype, text encapsulated here is checked for name cleanliness and url-safety semantics and for uniqueness.

This extends the normal text datatype with the following config additions:

New configuration options:

  • string title_field: Defaults to 'title', this is the name of the field (in same schema) to use for title information (used when autogenerating values)
  • bool allow_catenate: Defaults to false, if this is set to true then on name value clash, we autogenerate a new unique name and use it transparently in stead of raisin validation error.
  • bool allow_unclean: Defaults to false, if this is set to true then we do not check name for "cleanlines"
package midcom.helper.datamanager2

 Methods

_copy_object ($object)

Helper to get copy in stead of reference to given object

This is to avoid messing with the original values when using the name uniqueness checks

Parameters

$object

_on_initialize ()

This event handler is called after construction, so passing references to $this to the outside is safe at this point.

Returns

booleanIndicating success, false will abort the type construction sequence.

_on_validate ()

Make sure our name is nice and clean

convert_from_storage ($source)
