Editing files with the atkFileEditor

ATK Howto: Editing files with the atkFileEditor Complexity: basic Author: Fabio Saitta <webmaster@saitta.it>

List of other Howto's

This Howto demonstrates the use of the atkFileEditor. The example used, is editing the help-files of an ATK application.

Let your users edit ATK help file with 14 lines of code !!!

  atkimport("atk.atkfileeditor"); 
  useattrib("atkfckattribute");
  
  class help extends atkFileEditor 
  { 
    function help() 
    { 
      $this->atkFileEditor("help","C:\\Programmi\\Apache Group\\Apache2\\htdocs\\atk_56\\help\\it",".inc");
      $this->add(new AtkFckAttribute("filecontent",30,AF_HIDE_LIST));	   
      $this->setSecurityAlias("module.class");
    } 
  }

notes

  $this->atkFileEditor("help","C:\\Programmi\\Apache Group\\Apache2\\htdocs\\atk_56\\help\\it",".inc");

this is working with windows, if you are using unix/linux you have to code something like this:

  $this->atkFileEditor("help","/usr/http/atk_56/help/it",".inc");

you have also to change language directory, in the sample I selected Italian language /it

For authorization, use Security alias:

  $this->setSecurityAlias("module.class");

or define is your module.inc

  registerNode("module.help",array("admin","add","edit","delete"));

where module is the name of your module, and class is the name of security equivalence
