Class Details

[line 40]
Manage categories and handle database communication.

Only one instance of this class should exist for one database connection, i.e. one instance of GALGallery. This is assured inside __construct(). Most work is done by inherited methods from GALTable.

Class Methods

constructor __construct [line 54]

GALCategories __construct(
GALGallery
$glb)

Initialize using GALGallery object.

This constructor shouldn't be called by a library user, the representations for the used tables are automatically created by the GALGallery object.

Checks if an instance of GALCategories already exists in the specified GALGallery. If this is the case, it throws an GAL_ECategory. If not, it reads necessary information for further initialization from $glb.

Tags:

see:

GALTable::__construct()

Overrides GALGallueTable::__construct() (Initializes $glb object variable.)

Parameters:

GALGallery

$glb

Necessary information for initialization.

method add [line 104]

GALCategory add(

method buildResult [line 85]

GALCategoryIterator buildResult(
resource
$result)

Creates a GALCategoryIterator.

This method is used to build an iterator from a query result. It re-implements the GALResultFactory::buildResult() method.

Overrides GALTable::buildResult() (Implements the GALResultFactory interface.)

Parameters:

resource

$result

method visible [line 66]

GALExpression visible(
)

Tags:

return:

A SQL logical expression that evaluates to TRUE for visible items.

Overrides GALGallueTable::visible() (SQL expression that is TRUE only for items visible to the user currently logged in.)

)

SQL expression that is TRUE only for items writeable by the user currently logged in.
