[TYPO3-ect] ECT library

[Elmar Hinz]

Good morning typoniks,

to open the game I have just uploaded the announced ECT link object.

http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/search/ect/0.0.1/details/class.ect_link.php/

It claims an own namespace for us: ect_ instead of tx_ect_ . So you
still will expierience a warning in your extension manager until this
namespace is officially accepted.




The class is fully documented in the sourcecode.

It is testable with 24 unit tests against a typolink mock object that
imitates the behaviour of tslib_cObj.

On the command line enter: php ect_linkTest.test

It isn't tested in real life yet and the unit test can only be as
realistic as the mock object is.


short usage:

$L = t3lib_div::makeInstance('ect_link');
$L->label('My example Link');
$L->page(23);
$content .= $L->makeAnkerTag();
$url = $L->makeUrl();


full usage:

// construct

$L = t3lib_div::makeInstance('ect_link');

//settings: the order is unimportant

$L->label('My example Link');
$L->titleAttribute('The link title');
$L->classAttribute('myclass');
$L->targetAttribute('_blank');
$L->page('pagealias');
$L->prefix('tx_example_extension');
$L->parameters($this->piVars);    // keep piVars
$L->overrule(array( 'var1' => 1, 'var2' => 22);

// gettings

$content .= $L->makeAnkerTag();
$url = $L->makeUrl();

// destruct

unset($L);


How do you like it?


Warning:

Multidemensional parameters still need to be implemented.
This is still not working:

?tx_my[var][]=5&tx_my[var][]=8&tx_my[var][]=17


Now I hope for your ideas and contributions for our common ECT
library. Contributes of new classes should get their own login if that
is technically possible.



Regards

Elmar
