"\n"; } =head1 DESCRIPTION This module is the base class for all e2interface modules that load data from everything2.com based on title or node_id. It allows access to the data in those nodes, and its subclasses provide data exclusive to their particular node types. This module provides generic methods to load and parse nodes, and is also capable of detecting the type of node passed to it and re-Cing itself into the proper subclass (see the documentation for C and C for more information on this). This module inherits L. =head1 CONSTRUCTOR =over =item new C creates a new C object. =back =head1 METHODS =over =item $node-Etitle =item $node-Enode_id =item $node-Eauthor =item $node-Eauthor_id =item $node-Ecreatetime =item $node-Etype These methods return, respectively, the title of the node, the node_id, the author, the user_id of the author, the createtime (in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"), or the type, of the current node. They return C if there is no node currently loaded. =item $node-Eexists Boolean: "Does this node exist?" =item $node-Eload TITLE [, TYPE ] [, SOFTLINK ] =item $node-Eload_by_id NODE_ID [, SOFTLINK ] =item $node-Eload_from_xml XML_STRING These methods load a node based upon, respectively, TITLE, NODE_ID, or XML_STRING. They populate a number of internal variables, which are accessable through the access methods listed above. C expects to be passed an XML string of the type generated by a query to everything2.com with 'displaytype=xmltrue' set. C and C fetch the appropriate page from everything2.com. For C, if TYPE is specified, it fetches the node of that type. If no appropriate node of that type exists, they return C. Otherwise, they return true. If SOFTLINK is specified (as a node_id), $node attempts to create a softlink between SOFTLINK and the node it is loading. If SOFTLINK is -1, $node attempts to create a softlink between the previously-loaded node and the node it is loading. No softlinks will be created unless SOFTLINK is specified. If the object that's doing the Cing is of this class, rather than one of its descendants, the C methods will attempt to determine from the XML the type of node they were passed, and then re-C the current object into that class. These are the classes an E2::Node object will be re-Ced into based on node type: e2node => E2::E2Node writeup => E2::E2Node # NOTE: Not E2::Writeup user => E2::User usergroup => E2::Usergroup room => E2::Room superdoc => E2::Superdoc superdocnolinks => E2::Superdoc And here's an example: my $node = new E2::Node; # At ths point, $node is of class 'E2::Node' $node->load( "Brian Eno", "e2node" ); # Now $node is of class 'E2::E2Node' and has access to # all the methods of that class. Note: once an object has been re-Ced, it is a member of the new class, and therefore will generate an exception if it calls one of the C methods on a different type of node. # (continued from above) $node->load( "nate", "user" ); # throws 'Wrong node type:' Once the object has been re-Ced, if we wish to autodetect node type again, we must call C<$node-Eautodetect>. Exceptions: 'Unable to process request', 'Wrong node type:', 'Parse error:', 'Invalid node type:' =item $node-Eautodetect This method is used enable nodetype autodetection on an object that would normally not allow it. Objects of class E2::Node autodetect automatically. Derived objects, however, throw an exception whenever they load a node of an incompatible type. In most cases, we don't want, say, an E2::User to just become an E2::Superdoc. C is for times that we do. When would this be useful? Well, mostly, this is important if we want to use an object for autodetection more than once. Once an E2::Node has autodetected, it I the detected nodetype (it is re-Ced) and therefore loses the ability to autodetect. And that's where C comes in. It Ces the object back into the E2::Node class. As a side-effect, most of its methods become unavailable. Example use: my $node = new E2::Node; for(;;) { print "Input node title (or RETURN to end):"; my $title = ; chomp $title; if( ! $title ) { last } print "Input node type (or RETURN for none):"; my $type = ; chomp $type; $node->autodetect; $node->load( $title, $type ) or die "Unable to load node"; &display_node( $node ); } sub display_node { my $node = shift; # Print node info shared by all types of nodes print "Node title: " . $node->title; print "\nNode type: " . $node->type . "\n\n"; # Print node info specific to each type if( $node->type eq 'e2node' ) { # ... } elsif( $node->type eq 'user' ) { # ... } # There should be a bunch of elsif ... statements # here, each displaying a specific type of node # ... } =back =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L, L, L, L, L, L =head1 AUTHOR Jose M.
