==Certified WoWRoster AddOn==
+
[[Image:Certaddon.png|frame|Certified WoWRoster AddOn]]
+
AddOns that conform to our [[CodingStandards|Coding Standards]] and the basic outline described within this document, will be given a "<span style="color:maroon;">AddOn Framework Standards Compliant</span>" stamp of approval.
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
===Requirements for Approval===
+
* Unique locale variables
+
** Use Roster base locale strings whenever possible
+
** Don't overwrite existing locale strings
+
**: Roster has some protection against this, but AddOns can still overwrite other AddOns' strings
+
* Create AddOns with SQL Debug Output, Debug Mode, and SQL Window enabled in [[Roster:CP|RosterCP]]
+
** Even though php notices and warnings are suppressed when these are off, it is good practice to enable these options when coding AddOns
+
* No funky text (BOM characters displaying above the menu for example)
+
*: (ie: strange characters appearing on top of the roster's menu)
+
* Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional - http://validator.w3.org
+
* Proper use of the DB layer - <span style="color:maroon;">$roster->db</span>
+
* Roster main files are not edited
+
* Roster main database tables are not edited, unless you provide a clean way to revert the data in your uninstall
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
==Basics of an AddOn==
+
The following are required to run the WoWRoster back-end and to be able to run any AddOns<br>
+
>[[Roster:Requirements|Roster Requirements]]<
+
 
+
The AddOn system is designed so that you can mod the roster base without having to change the base code as it could change a lot between versions.<br>
+
Hopefully with this system we will be closer to having a drop-in module system without having to mod a lot of the base files each time.
+
 
+
We will be constantly refining the system as we go along.<br>
+
So with each new version of Roster, some AddOns may break (not work in the new WoWRoster)
+
 
+
<div style="margin:5px 0 5px 0;">
+
{| width="100%" style="clear:both;border:2px inset #ff3300;border-collapse:collapse;padding:0.2em;margin:0;margin:0 1px;"
+
|- valign="top" style="background:#FFEBE6"
+
|style="width:25px;padding-left:0.5em;"|[[Image:Tools clipart.png|20px]]
+
|style="width:10px;white-space:nowrap;padding:4px 1em 0 0.5em;border-right:1px solid #ff3300;"|'''Important:'''
+
|style="padding:1px 1em 0;background:#F6F9ED;"|
+
DO NOT use php short tags in your php files<br>
+
This is also stated in the [[CodingStandards|WoWRoster Coding Standards]]<br>
+
<span style="color:red;">NO!</span> <code><?    ?></code><br>
+
<span style="color:green;">YES</span> <code><?php  ?></code><br>
+
<span style="color:red;">NO!</span> <code><?=$var; ?></code><br>
+
<span style="color:green;">YES</span> <code><?php echo $var; ?></code><br>
+
Use the "long tags" as the short ones can break web servers with short_tags set to "off"
+

</div>
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
==Changes Since 1.7.3==
+
* All AddOns need to be installed using an install definition file inc/install.def.php.
+
* During install, database tables, graphical configuration, menu buttons, and update hooks can be registered with the main framework.
+
* menu.php file is no longer required.
+
* conf.php is still used because there may be more to initialize than just settings.
+
** conf.php has been moved to addonname/inc/conf.php
+
* Several variables in addon.php, most notably $addonDir, have changed names.
+
* localization.php is no longer used.
+
** Locale files are now placed in the locale subfolder of the addon and are named for the locale they are made for
+
* Configuration from database is automatically added. Addons are initialized in this order:
+
** Addon registration record
+
** Other constants (locations of addon files and the addon base dir)
+
** Database configuration, if it exists
+
** Localization files
+
*** The addon framework uses the $roster->mulitlanguages array to automatically add the default Roster locales
+
** inc/conf.php file
+
* The addon is called differently now.
+
** Details are below.
+
* You do not know the basename at design time.
+
** Please use the $addon['basename'] variable for this at all times.
+
* On lua updates, the addon's inc/update_hook.php is included once.
+
** Details for the new update hook structure is below
+
* Menu buttons are created in the database using installer functions
+
* New libraries available:
+
** lib/install.lib.php: AddOn install/upgrade/uninstall class
+
** lib/config.lib.php: AddOn config class
+
** lib/roster.php: Roster global class
+
*** This holds all of roster's config, locale strings, error control, some output variables, and the db layer
+
** lib/minixml.lib.php: A XML file reader and creator
+
 
+
 
+
==AddOn Framework==
+
 
+
===Features===
+
# Uses output buffering, which means all the output is stored in a variable that is sent to the browser
+
# Do not have to include Roster's conf.php
+
# Do not have to include/declare <span style="color:maroon;">$roster</span> object
+
# Do not have to connect to Roster's database
+
# Do not have to include your inc/conf.php
+
# AddOn files: inc/conf.php, style.css, inc/update_hook.php, and locale files are OPTIONAL!
+
#: Even additional locale files are optional, enUS.php is the default locale, and is required if you have locale files
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
===What it does===
+
# Includes all Roster config variables for you to use (<span style="color:maroon;">$roster</span>->config)
+
# Includes all Roster SQL functions for your use (<span style="color:maroon;">$roster</span>->db)
+
# Includes all Roster and AddOn language variables for you (<span style="color:maroon;">$roster</span>->locale->wordings, <span style="color:maroon;">$roster</span>->locale->act)
+
# Includes all Roster css styles
+
# The Roster header, footer, and menu are included to your files.
+
#: These can be disabled if needed, more below...
+
 
+
Best of all, this is transparent to you!
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
===AddOn Directory Structure===
+
Here is an example of an AddOn's directory structure
+
<pre>roster/
+
|_ addons/
+
  |_ addonname/
+
      |_ admin/
+
      |  |_ index.php
+
      |  |_ other.php
+
      |
+
      |_ char/
+
      |  |_ index.php
+
      |  |_ other.php
+
      |
+
      |_ guild/
+
      |  |_ index.php

</pre>
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
====admin Folder====
+
The admin folder houses files for the Roster CP
+
Normally you'll never need files here because the Config API can handle most configuration needs
+
 
+
If you do need a custom config interface, this is where you make it
+
 
+
* Normal Link - http://[www.someurl.net]/roster/trunk/?p=rostercp-addon-addonname-file
+
* SEO Link - http://[www.someurl.net]/roster/trunk/rostercp/addon/addonname/file.html
+
{{Note|The File parameter is optional}}
+
 
+
This will normally grab your AddOn's config data from the 'roster_addon_config' table in the database and display the options using the Config API
+
 
+
If you need your own file, you need only to place index.php in addons/addonname/admin/
+
 
+
You can also have the best of both worlds<br>
+
For example, the Members List and Character Info AddOns use both the Config API and custom files
+
* Members List uses addons/memberslist/admin/update.php to process data for alt relations
+
*: Normal Link - http://[www.someurl.net]/roster/trunk/?p=rostercp-addon-memberslist-update
+
*: SEO Link - http://[www.someurl.net]/roster/trunk/rostercp/addon/memberslist/update.html
+
* Character Info uses addons/info/admin/display.php to control data display for each character
+
*: Normal Link - http://[www.someurl.net]/roster/trunk/?p=rostercp-addon-info-display
+
*: SEO Link - http://[www.someurl.net]/roster/trunk/rostercp/addon/info/display.html
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
====char Folder====
+
Files for use in the Character scope<br>
+
Data for the requested character is passed to the AddOn<br>
+
If member= is not specified or if this member does not exist, an error message will display
+
 
+
member= can be either the member id number, or name@realm text
+
 
+
* Normal Link - http://[www.someurl.net]/roster/trunk/?p=char-addonname&member=##
+
* Normal Link - http://[www.someurl.net]/roster/trunk/?p=char-addonname&member=name@realm
+
* SEO Link - http://[www.someurl.net]/roster/trunk/char/addonname/member=##.html
+
* SEO Link - http://[www.someurl.net]/roster/trunk/char/addonname/member=name@realm.html
+
 
+
Accessing other files in the char scope is easy<br>
+
addons/addonname/addonname/char/file.php is accessed like this:
+
* Normal Link - http://[www.someurl.net]/roster/trunk/?p=char-addonname-file&member=##

+
 
+
====guild Folder====
+
Files for use in the Guild scope<br>
+
Data for the requested guild is passed to the AddOn<br>
+
If guild= is not specified, the default guild/realm name set in Roster CP will show<br>
+
If the guild does not exist or if there is no data for this guild, an error message will display
+
 
+
guild= can be either the guild id number, or name@realm text
+
 
+
* Normal Link - http://[www.someurl.net]/roster/trunk/?p=guild-addonname&guild=##

+
 
+
 
+
 
+
====inc Folder====

+
 
+
 
+
 
+
==Creating the Installer==
+
This installer requires a similar install file definition as DragonFly CMS, with
+
some important exceptions:
+
* SQL entries are the same as as passing it to mysql_query() using <span style="color:maroon;">$installer</span>->add_query(<span style="color:maroon;">$sqlstring</span>)
+
* No rollback data per query. Instead, call <span style="color:maroon;">$installer</span>->add_backup(<span style="color:maroon;">$table_name</span>) for each table you want restored in case of an upgrade/uninstall failure.
+
*: Any backup tables you create are automatically deleted in rollback.
+
* Different required variables to be set.
+
 
+
You should create a file called inc/install.def.php with in it a class that is named identical to your AddOn's install directory name.<br>
+
This name will be referred to as your AddOn's basename.
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
===Properties===
+
* var <span style="color:maroon;">$active</span>
+
*: Boolean, set to true to activate this AddOn after installing, set to false if it has to be configured first.
+
 
+
* var <span style="color:maroon;">$version</span>
+
*: String, the current version of your AddOn.
+
*: Needs to be compatible with php's version_compare().
+
*: Should be incremented on every update that includes a database update, or any update if you wish.
+
 
+
* var <span style="color:maroon;">$icon</span>
+
*: String, an icon to display for your AddOn in the AddOn management page in RosterCP
+
*: Valid icons are from the Interface ImagePack
+
 
+
* var <span style="color:maroon;">$fullname</span>
+
*: String, the full name of the AddOn for display.
+
 
+
* var <span style="color:maroon;">$description</span>
+
*: String, a sort description of your AddOn.
+
 
+
* var <span style="color:maroon;">$credits</span>
+
*: Credits information.
+
<php>$credits = array(
+
array( "name"=> "Name",
+
"info"=> "Some Info"),
+
array( "name"=> "Another Name",
+
"info"=> "More Info"),
+
);</php>
+
 
+
 
+

+
 
+
* <span style="color:maroon;">$installer</span>->add_query(<span style="color:maroon;">$sqlstring</span>);

==Roster Config API==

+
 
+
 
+
 
+
===AddOn Config Function File===
+
addons/addonname/admin/config.func.php
+
*: Both function types call functions that can be defined in a file called 'config.func.php' in your AddOn's admin/ directory.
+
*: If this file has a function named topBox(), the html returned by this function will be put above the options in the middle column.
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
==Locale Files==
+
These are used in translating any text in your AddOn if you want to support multi-langages.<br>
+
As you can see in the example below, we have a file for deDE which is the German language, enUS which is the English language, frFR for French, and esES for Spanish.
+
 
+
Roster currently supports deDE, enUS, frFR, and esES, these are taken out of character profiler based on what region of WOW they are using.
+
 
+
The folder structure for locale files is as follows:
+
<pre>roster/
+
|_ addons/
+
  |_ addonname/
+
      |_ locale/
+
        |_ deDE.php
+
        |_ enUS.php
+
        |_ esES.php
+
        |_ frFR.php</pre>
+
When using locale files, it is absolutely necessary to ALWAYS have enUS.php<br>
+
The AddOn Framework will default to this file if a locale is not found for a specific locale
+
 
+
Example:
+
* You make an AddOn and only create it in English (enUS.php only, no other locale files)
+
* Someone downloads your AddOn for a deDE Roster
+
* The AddOn Framework automatically inserts the enUS locale strings into the deDE locale
+
* This way, you only need to have enUS.php
+
* Later, if other locales are translated, they can be placed into the locale folder and Roster will detect them based on the locales set in localization/languages.php
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
===Using Locale Strings===
+
When using these them in your script you can use something similar to this
+
<php>$header_title = $roster->locale->wordings['locale_key']['some_key'];</php>
+
or
+
<php>$header_title = $roster->locale->act['some_key'];</php>
+
The first example is to get a specific locale value<br>
+
The second is a reference to the current locale set in Roster
+
 
+
Remember that Roster's locale files are already added, so you only have to add the stuff that is custom to your AddOn.
+
 
+
So if you need to check to make sure we have don't already have a translation, you can open the files in the "localization/" directory to see the default words that you don't have to duplicate.
+
 
+
Duplication may cause errors in the main Roster code, if you duplicate a main Roster locale variable, you will incur the wrath of the WoWRoster.net Dev Team
+
 
+
 
+
 
+

+
==AddOn Update Hook==
+
The update hook is a file that ties into the lua upload process<br>
+
You can specify any additional lua files you may you need
+
 
+
There are a few hook modes that an AddOn can make use of
+
* update
+
** This mode does not hook into the CharacterProfiler upload process and is a good way to parse and process data from lua files other than CharacterProfiler
+
* char_pre
+
** This mode is fired before any character is processed
+
* char
+
** This mode fires for every character that is processed
+
* char_post
+
** This mode is fired after every character is processed
+
* guild_pre
+
** This mode is fired for each guild processed before any guild members are processed
+
* guild
+
** This mode is fired for each guild processed and for each guild member processed
+
* guild_post
+
** This mode is fired for each guild processed after guild members are processed
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
===Properties===
+
The following variables are required in the update hook class
+
 
+
* var <span style="color:maroon;">$messages</span>
+
*: String, any messages or output.
+
 
+
* var <span style="color:maroon;">$data</span>
+
*: Array, Addon data object, recieved in constructor.
+
*: This holds the addon's data from the database
+
 
+
* var <span style="color:maroon;">$icon</span>

+
*: Valid icons are from the Interface ImagePack
+
 
+
* var <span style="color:maroon;">$files</span>
+
*: array, An array of additional lua files that your addon needs.
+
*: If you are using CharacterProfiler for data, there is no need to list it here.
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
===Methods===
+
* addonUpdate()
+
*: The constructor for the update hook
+
*: This is the only required method in an update hook class
+
*: The addons data is passed to this function, you should set the passed data to an internal property variable
+
<php> function addonUpdate($data)
+
{
+
$this->data = $data;
+
}</php>
+
 
+
The following methods are reserved for update hooks<br>
+
Descriptions for these methods are above and are not required
+
 
+
These function fairly simmilar
+
* update()
+
* char_pre(<span style="color:maroon;">$characters</span>)
+
** <span style="color:maroon;">$characters</span> - Array: All characters and their data in CharacterProfiler.lua
+
* char(<span style="color:maroon;">$char</span>, <span style="color:maroon;">$memberid</span>)

You can add other methods or properties as you wish, but be warned that Roster may implement more update hook methods in future versions
+
 
+
 
+

===Variable Calls===
+
These are added to index.php for some additional support
+
 
+
If you add these into index.php you can turn off the header, footer and menu on the page, by default these are always on.
+
<php>$roster->output['show_header'] = false;  // Turn off roster header
+
$roster->output['show_menu'] = false;    // Turn off roster menu
+
$roster->output['show_footer'] = false;  // Turn off roster footer</php>
+
 
+
$roster->output['show_menu'] can accept a string or an array of button listings to display<br>
+
When building an addon, you can build your own button listing that only displays on your addon pages<br>
+
Pass a string for only one set of buttons, or pass an array for multiple sets of buttons
+
<php>$roster->output['show_menu'] = 'main';  // Display the main button listing
+
$roster->output['show_menu'] = array('main','char');  // Display the main and char button listing</php>
+
 
+
<php>$roster->output['html_head'] = 'string';</php>
+
Accepts any string needing to be in the html header for your addon, such as javascript inclusion<br>
+
roster_header.tpl will pick this variable up and place its contents in the header
+
 
+
<php>$roster->output['body_attr'] = 'string';</php>
+
Accepts any string needing to be in the <body> tag in roster_header.tpl
+
 
+
<php>$roster->output['body_onload'] = 'string';</php>
+
Accepts any string needing to be in <body onload=""> in roster_header.tpl
+
 
+
 
+
Any output needed, just print or echo it<br>
+
Roster uses php's output buffering to capture all print or echo commands<br>
+
Then it echos the output where needed
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
===Variables and Functions for AddOns===
+
There are many variables, functions, and classes available for Addons to use
+
 
+

+
 
+
 
+
====Roster Authorization====
+
Like those nifty log-in boxes in Roster CP?<br>
+
Now you can easily add one to your addon!
+
 
+
This checks if the user has admin access
+
<php>// ----[ Check log-in ]-------------------------------------
+
$roster_login = new RosterLogin();
+
 
+
// Disallow viewing of the page
+
if( $roster_login->getAuthorized() < 3 )
+
{
+
include_once (ROSTER_BASE . 'roster_header.tpl');
+
$roster_menu = new RosterMenu;
+
print $roster_menu->makeMenu('main');
+
 
+
print
+
'<span class="title_text">Some Title</span><br />'.
+
$roster_login->getMessage().
+
$roster_login->getLoginForm();
+
 
+
include_once (ROSTER_BASE . 'roster_footer.tpl');
+
exit();
+
}
+
else
+
{
+
// continue with addon processing
+
}
+
// ----[ End Check log-in ]---------------------------------</php>
+
* <span style="color:maroon;">$roster_login</span> - Roster Login class
+
* <span style="color:maroon;">$roster_login</span>->getAuthorized() - (int) Returns the id of access
+
** 1 - Guild Memeber Access
+
** 2 - Officer Access
+
** 3 - Roster Admin Access
+
* <span style="color:maroon;">$roster_login</span>->getMessage() - (string) Message sent from Roster Login, such as "Logged In", "Logged Out", or "Wrong Password"
+
* <span style="color:maroon;">$roster_login</span>->getLoginForm() - (string) The Roster Log-in form
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
====Addon Credits====
+
Link = http://[www.someurl.net]/roster/?p=credits (SEO: http://[www.someurl.net]/roster/credits.html)<br>
+
To get credits on the main credit page, set the $credits array in the AddOn's inc/install.def.php file
+
<php>var $credits = array(
+
array( "name"=> "Author Name",
+
"info"=> "Extra Info"),
+
);</php>
+
Replace the following
+
*"Addon Name" with your addon's name
+
*"Author Name" with your (The addon's author) name
+
*"Extra Info" with a short description or additional info
+
(Use <nowiki><br></nowiki> for line breaks)
+
 
+
You can add multiple arrays inside the main one to add more credits<br>
+
(Try not to add too many, we don't wanna clutter the credits page now do we?)
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
====Tooltips====
+
<php>/**
+
* Makes a tootip and places it into the tooltip array
+
*
+
* @param string $var
+
* @param string $content
+
*/
+
function setTooltip( $var , $content )</php>
+
Creates a js variable for use with overlib<br>
+
Instead of outputting text in the html, you can create a js variable that holds this instead
+
<php>/**
+
* Easy all in one function to make overlib tooltips
+
* Creates a string for insertion into any html tag that has "onmouseover" and "onmouseout" events
+
*
+
* @param string $tooltip | Tooltip as a string (delimited by "\n" character)
+
* @param string $caption | (optional) Text to set as a true OverLib caption
+
* @param string $caption_color | (optional) Color for the caption
+
* Default is 'ffffff' - white
+
* @param bool $mode| (optional) Options 0=colorize,1=clean,2=pass through
+
* Default 0 (colorize)
+
* @param string $locale | Locale so color parser can work correctly
+
* Only needed when $colorize is true
+
* Default is $roster_conf['roster_lang']
+
* @param string $extra_parameters | (optional) Extra OverLib parameters you wish to pass
+
* @return unknown
+
*/
+
function makeOverlib( $tooltip , $caption='' , $caption_color='' , $mode=0 , $locale='' , $extra_parameters='' )</php>
+
Returns this string for use in any html tag that supports onmouseover and onmouseout events
+
<pre>onmouseover="return overlib(overlib_'.$num_of_tips.$caption.$extra_parameters.');" onmouseout="return nd();"</pre>
+
For more info about makeOverlib() and its supporting functions, look at functions.lib.php
+
 
+
 
+
 
+

+
Functions to draw message boxes
+
<php>/**

+
*
+
* @param string $message | The message to display inside the box
+
* @param string $title | The box title
+
* @param string $style | The border style
+

*/
+
function messagebox($message, $title = 'Message', $style = 'sgray')</php>
+
 
+
<php>/**

+
function messageboxtoggle($message, $title = 'Message', $style = 'sgray', $open = false, $width = '550px')</php>
+
 
+
