[Phpgroupware-developers] custom functions

[Sigurd Nes]

I have a very nice feature in property for custom implementation without 
breaking the official code.
Right after a storage operation (add/edit) the data-set is fed into custom 
functions for this location.

The actual funtion is stored as files in appname/inc/custom - and enabled 
trough an interface per acl_location.
This is usefull for integration with surrounding systems - or cusmtomization of 
the type "if a special category of something is saved or altered" - you want to 
perform a spesific action of some sort

example:
Admin->property->Admin custom functions

Applying the code is very easy (from class.boentity.inc.php in property):

$custom_functions = 
$this->soadmin_entity->read_custom_function(array('acl_location' => 
$acl_location,'allrows'=>True));
if (isSet($custom_functions) AND is_array($custom_functions))
{
        foreach($custom_functions as $entry)
        {
                if (is_file(PHPGW_APP_INC . SEP . 'custom' . SEP . 
$entry['file_name']) && $entry['active'])
                include (PHPGW_APP_INC . SEP . 'custom' . SEP . 
$entry['file_name']);
        }
}

Something for the other apps?
