reads of entries from the database: Applications can call
egw_link::set_cache($app,$id,$title,$file_access=null)
from their search or read method, to eliminate the need to query the
entries again, when the egw_link class, link widget or links stream wrapper
needs title or file_access values later.
This offloads the caching to the link class, and improves performance a
lot, specially for infolog.
The cache is stored in the session and modified or deleted items get
removed, when the link class get notified about that anyway.
+ path with clickable components
+ human readable size, mode, ...
+ mime icon with integrated thumbnail creation
- link widget uses now vfs-mime for it's icons
- thumbnail creation is now switched on with size 32px by default, it can
be switched of by the admin or user, in doing so explicitly
- mime-icons are moved from filemanager to etemplate, as not everyone
installs filemanager
- filemanager has now 3 display modi:
+ Current directory (with subdirs always on top)
+ Subdirs sorted in
+ Files from subdirs (shows recursive all files and you
can click on the path components thanks to new vfs widget)
- if you already run the 1.5.003 update (AND modified anything in the VFS), you have to re-run it, to not loose your modifications or risk an inconsistent VFS (DB does not match filesystem)
- to re-run the 1.5.003 update (only if your version is already 1.5.003 or bigger!) run the following sql:
UPDATE egw_applications SET app_version=1.5.002 WHERE app_name=phpgwapi
- the new vfs supports now an extended ACL, if that is supported by the backend (sqlfs only currently)
- eacl allows to set separate recursive acl rights for different users or groups on a directory (and subdirs)
- former group grants of group dirs are converted to eacl, thought we only support read or read+write access (no extra add or delete)
- attachments via the links class now also use a stream wrapper interface (links_stream_wrapper) and WebDAV as download handler (which requires no longer filemanager run rights)
- new public egw_link class, which has only static methods and can NOT be instanciated
- depricated bolink class, for existing code instanciating the bolink class in $egw->link
- new method and application hook *titles* to retrieve the title of multiple entries of an app in one go
- new method *get_links_multiple* to retrieve all links of multiple entries of an app
