Notes on converting apps from Horde 4 to Horde 5.
These are by far not complete.
++ Mandatory
+++ Use Horde_PageOutput
- There is a new class Horde_PageOutput which is an OO-style output buffer
- horde/templates/common-header.inc does not exist anymore
+++ New parameter format for entries in menu
In Application.php's menu function, entries now go like this
$menu->add(Horde::url('data.php'), _("_Import/Export"), 'horde-data');
It's link, caption, css class. The Icon now has to be defined in css:
.turba-edit, #tabEditContact a {
background-image: url("graphics/edit.png");
}
++ UI
+++ Topbar search bar
- If your app sported a custom search bar (like wicked, sesha or whups), convert it to the Horde Topbar
$topbar = $injector->getInstance('Horde_View_Topbar');
/* Make topbar visible */
$topbar->search = true;
/* Define where to redirect when the button is clicked */
$topbar->searchAction = new Horde_Url('list.php');
/* Define the grayed-out hint text in the search field */
$topbar->searchLabel = $session->get('sesha', 'search') ?: _("Stock Id");
/* Define a search icon. Leave away if you want the default */
$topbar->searchIcon = Horde_Themes::img('search-topbar.png');
+++ Custom apps handling
If your conf.xml had such a section
Menu Settings
drop it. It won't work anymore now that the app-specific menu lives in the sidebar.
