Horde_Controller

Documentation on using Horde_Controller

++ General Info

++ Horde_Controllers in Horde Core Apps

Horde Controllers are independent from the Horde Ajax Framework.
Controllers need Horde_Routes and need rewrite rules.

Ajax application controllers do not live in lib but in
$app/app/controllers/

Example:

class Nag_CompleteTask_Controller in nag/app/controllers/CompleteTask.php


getRequestVars();
        if (isset($requestVars['task']) && isset($requestVars['tasklist'])) {
            $nag_task = new Nag_CompleteTask();
            $result = $nag_task->result($requestVars['task'], $requestVars['tasklist']);
        } else {
            $result = array('error' => 'missing parameters');
        }

        $requestVars = $request->getGetVars();
        if (!empty($requestVars['format']) &&
            $requestVars['format'] == 'json') {
            $response->setContentType('application/json');
            $response->setBody(json_encode($result));
        } elseif ($requestVars['url']) {
            $response->setRedirectUrl($requestVars['url']);
        }
    }
}
?>

A Horde Controller based app needs a config/routes.php file.

For example


connect('/t/complete',
    array(
        'controller' => 'CompleteTask',
    ));
?>

defines a route for a call like www.myhorde.de/nag/t/complete to be handled by the CompleteTask controller seen above.

The endpoint script is horde/rampage.php - rampage.php currently seems to handle only authenticated calls.

The controller is passed the request (in this case, a json request) and handles it (with a json answer in this case)
