export is quite clean at the moment, but import needs lots of work, all the stuff is not really for production yet, but i import it now, so that the guy from metaways can also work on it. most pending tasks: - implement conversions based on regular expressions - implement options of plugin - rework import part (mostly ui)

Importexport is a framework for egroupware to handle imports and exports.
|
|
The idea behind importexport is to have a common userinterface in all apps regarding
|
|
import and export stuff AND to have common backends whitch handle the stuff.
|
|
Importexport can nothing without the plugins of the applications.
|
|
|
|
Attending importeport framework with you application is pretty easy.
|
|
|
|
You just need to have your plugins in files which start with
|
|
class.import_<type> or
|
|
class.export_<type>
|
|
in
|
|
EGW_INCLUDE_ROOT/YourApp/inc/
|
|
|
|
== definitions ==
|
|
The bases of all imports and exports is the '''definition'''.
|
|
A definition defines all nessesary parameters to perform the desired action.
|
|
Moreover definitions can be stored and thus the same import / export can be redone
|
|
by loading the definition. Definitions are also reachable by the importexport
|
|
'''command line interface'''.
|
|
|
|
== export ==
|
|
Starting an export is as easy as just putting a button in your app with:
|
|
onClick="importexport.uiexport.export_dialog&appname=<appname>&have_selection=<{true|false}>"
|
|
If parameter "have_selection" if true, export askes (javascript) opener.get_selection();to retreave
|
|
a list of identifiers of selected records.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: javascript function get_selection() is the only function which is not part of an interface yet.
|
|
|
|
==Discussion of interfaces==
|
|
To make live easy there are several general plugins which can be found
