NAME

Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin - A base class for Wiki::Toolkit plugins.

DESCRIPTION

Provides methods for accessing the backend store, search and formatter objects of the Wiki::Toolkit object that a plugin instance is registered with.

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
package Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::Foo;
use base qw( Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin);
# And then in your script:
my $wiki = Wiki::Toolkit->new( ... );
my $plugin = Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::Foo->new;
$wiki->register_plugin( plugin => $plugin );
my $node = $plugin->datastore->retrieve_node( "Home" );

TODO: Allow declining of the read.

Allows additional actions to occur after node writes.
my %args = @_;
my ($node,$node_id,$version,$content,$metadata) =
   @args{ qw( node node_id version content metadata ) };

   @args{ qw( node node_id version ) };
&log_node_delete($node,gmtime);
            
          

DECLINING ACTIONS FROM PRE_ METHODS

            

              
              
Note: This functionality is missing for pre_retrieve
It is possible for the pre_ methods (eg C<pre_write>) to
decline the action. This could be due to an authentication
check done by the plugin, due to the content, or whatever else
the plugin fancies. There are three possible return values from
a pre_ plugin:
C<-1> - Deny this action
C<0> or C<undef> - I have no opinion
C<1> - Allow this action
If you have only zeros, the action will be allowed. If you have ones
and zeros, it will also be allowed.
If you have minus ones and zeros, it will be denied. If you have minus
ones, ones and zeros, the sum will be used to decide. 
For default deny, have one plugin return -1, and another only return 1 
if the action is explicity allowed)
            
          

METHODS

new

            

              
              
sub new {
    my $class = shift;
    my $self = bless {}, $class;
    $self->_init if $self->can("_init");
    return $self;
}
            
          

Generic contructor, just returns a blessed object.

wiki

Returns the Wiki::Toolkit object, or undef if the register_plugin method hasn't been called on a Wiki::Toolkit object yet.

datastore

Returns the backend store object, or undef if the register_plugin method hasn't been called on a Wiki::Toolkit object yet.

indexer

Returns the backend search object, or undef if the register_plugin method hasn't been called on a Wiki::Toolkit object yet, or if the wiki object had no search object defined.

formatter

Returns the backend formatter object, or undef if the register_plugin method hasn't been called on a Wiki::Toolkit object yet.
