Plugin Conversion
- change function calls from
api_plugin_*
to
plugin_*
- internationalize all texts shown to the user: use
__("text")
; create <plugin>.po file
- internationalize date/time
- pay attention to $menu indexes, often set in <plugin>_config_arrays; e.g.
$menu["Utilities"]
now goes
$menu["utilities"]["items"]
- after registering a new realm, often set in <plugin>_config_arrays call function plugin_load_realms() to load realms into global variable
- table handling has changed, consider using the new table class! This will reduce more efforts, e.g. most $colors changes (see below) are related to table handling.
html_start_box($title, $width, $cell_padding, $align, $add_text = "", $collapsing = false, $table_id = "")
old 3rd parameter $colors has gone
- html_header_sort_checkbox expects $display_text in new format:
array( "name" => array( "name" => __("CDEF Title"), "order" => "ASC", "filter" => true, "link" => true ), "id" => array( "name" => __("ID"), "align" => "right", "order" => "ASC" ) );
- $config has gone, replace e.g.
- $config[“base_path”] by CACTI_BASE_PATH
- $config[“rra_path”] by CACTI_RRA_PATH
- $config[“url_path”] by CACTI_URL_PATH
- $config[“library_path”] by CACTI_BASE_PATH . ”/lib”
- $config[“include_path”] by CACTI_BASE_PATH . ”/include”
- $colors has gone, replace e.g.
- $colors[“alternate”] ⇒ class=”…”
- $colors[“light”] ⇒ class=”…”
- $colors[“header”] ⇒ class=“textHeaderDark”
- $colors[“panel”] ⇒ class=“rowAlternate3”
- form_alternate_row_color takes new parameters:
function form_alternate_row_color($row_id = "", $hover = false, $row_class = "")
AND THE USE OF A COUNTER LIKE $I IS NO LONGER REQUIRED
- use
function html_create_nav($current_page, $max_pages, $rows_per_page, $total_rows, $columns, $base_url, $page_var = "page")
to create nav bar, e.g.
$nav = html_create_nav($_REQUEST["page"], MAX_DISPLAY_PAGES, $_REQUEST["rows"], $total_rows, 8, 'rrdcleaner.php' . (strlen($_REQUEST["filter"]) ? "?filter=" . $_REQUEST["filter"]:""));
