++ How to use horde shares in your custom application ++

Let's assume you followed the [CreatingYourFirstModule Creating your first module] guide as far as it applies to horde4 and created a new horde app called "hort". Hort is an old German word for treasure as well as the place where the treasure is kept. Hort should keep safes which hold user/password pairs or other secret credentials. Those safes should be shareable among users. This is where horde_shares comes into play.

+++ basic setup in Application.php _init()

We want to add an injector for the shares API whenever the app is initialized and we want to auto-create an initial "home" share for users which do not yet own one.

protected function _init() { // Create a share instance. $GLOBALS['hort_shares'] = $GLOBALS['injector']->getInstance('Horde_Core_Factory_Share')->create();
    /* If the user doesn't own a safe, create one. */
    if (!empty($GLOBALS['conf']['share']['auto_create']) &&
        $GLOBALS['registry']->getAuth() &&
        !$GLOBALS['hort_shares']->countShares($GLOBALS['registry']->getAuth())) {
        $identity = $GLOBALS['injector']->getInstance('Horde_Core_Factory_Identity')->create();
        $share = $GLOBALS['hort_shares']->newShare(
            $GLOBALS['registry']->getAuth(),
            strval(new Horde_Support_Randomid()),
            sprintf(_("Default safe of %s"), $identity->getName())
        );
        $GLOBALS['hort_shares']->addShare($share);
    }

}

+++ List of safes in Application.php menu()

Next we want to add a page with a list of safes (shares) in the menu.
Go to the menu() function in Application.php

$menu->add(Horde::url('safes.php'), _("Password Safes"), 'user.png');

+++ migrations script (database setup) for shares and sharesng driver tables
Create a directory hort/migrations/ with a file 1_hort_tables.php
