Interfaces

ActionInterface
Interface for all action classes.

Properties

$obj  : object
$backcompat  : array<string|int, mixed>

Methods

call()  : void
Convenience method to load() and execute() an instance of this class.
execute()  : void
Does the job.
exportStatic()  : void
Provides a way to export a class's public static properties and methods to global namespace.
issueWarning()  : void
Backward compatibility wrapper.
list_getUserWarningCount()  : int
Get the number of warnings a user has.
list_getUserWarnings()  : array<string|int, mixed>
Get the data about a user's warnings.
load()  : object
Static wrapper for constructor.
__construct()  : mixed
Constructor. Protected to force instantiation via self::load().
preview()  : void
Gets a preview of the warning message.
save()  : void
Saves the newly issued warning.

Properties

$issueErrors

public array<string|int, mixed> $issueErrors = []

This stores any legitimate errors.

$obj

protected static object $obj

An instance of this class. This is used by the load() method to prevent mulitple instantiations.

$backcompat

private static array<string|int, mixed> $backcompat = ['func_names' => ['list_getUserWarnings' => 'list_getUserWarnings', 'list_getUserWarningCount' => 'list_getUserWarningCount', 'issueWarning' => 'issueWarning']]

BackwardCompatibility settings for this class.

Methods

call()

Convenience method to load() and execute() an instance of this class.

public static call() : void

exportStatic()

Provides a way to export a class's public static properties and methods to global namespace.

public static exportStatic() : void

To do so:

  1. Use this trait in the class.
  2. At the END of the class's file, call its exportStatic() method.

Although it might not seem that way at first glance, this approach conforms to section 2.3 of PSR 1, since executing this method is simply a dynamic means of declaring functions when the file is included; it has no other side effects.

Regarding the $backcompat items:

A class's static properties are not exported to global variables unless explicitly included in $backcompat['prop_names']. Likewise, a class's static methods are not exported as global functions unless explicitly included in $backcompat['func_names'].

$backcompat['prop_names'] is a simple array where the keys are the names of one or more of a class's static properties, and the values are the names of global variables. In each case, the global variable will be set to a reference to the static property. Static properties that are not named in this array will not be exported.

$backcompat['func_names'] is a simple array where the keys are the names of one or more of a class's static methods, and the values are the names that should be used for global functions that will encapsulate those methods. Methods that are not named in this array will not be exported.

Adding non-static properties or methods to the $backcompat arrays will produce runtime errors. It is the responsibility of the developer to make sure not to do this.

issueWarning()

Backward compatibility wrapper.

public static issueWarning(int $memID) : void
Parameters
$memID : int

The ID of the user.

list_getUserWarningCount()

Get the number of warnings a user has.

public static list_getUserWarningCount() : int
Return values
int

Total number of warnings for the user.

list_getUserWarnings()

Get the data about a user's warnings.

public static list_getUserWarnings(int $start, int $items_per_page, string $sort) : array<string|int, mixed>
Parameters
$start : int

The item to start with (for pagination purposes)

$items_per_page : int

How many items to show on each page

$sort : string

A string indicating how to sort the results

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

An array of information about the user's warnings

load()

Static wrapper for constructor.

public static load() : object
Return values
object

An instance of this class.

__construct()

Constructor. Protected to force instantiation via self::load().

protected __construct() : mixed

preview()

Gets a preview of the warning message.

protected preview() : void

save()

Saves the newly issued warning.

protected save() : void

Also logs the action and, if the relevant setting is enabled, sends a personal message to notify the warned member about it.
