NAME

Konstrukt::Plugin::tags::DBI - Tagging DBI backend

SYNOPSIS

        #TODO
        

DESCRIPTION

Tagging DBI Backend driver.

CONFIGURATION

Note that you have to create the table tag. You may turn on the install setting (see "CONFIGURATION" in Konstrukt::Handler) or use the KonstruktBackendInitialization.pl script to accomplish this task.

You may define the source of this backend:

        #backend
        blog/backend/DBI/source       dbi:mysql:database:host
        blog/backend/DBI/user         user
        blog/backend/DBI/pass         pass

If no database settings are set the defaults from "CONFIGURATION" in Konstrukt::DBI will be used.

LIMITATIONS

The current data model has a max length for the tag title of 255 chars, for the plugin name of 64 chars and for the entry identifier of 128 chars. The identifier is a string, not a number (but of course can also contain numbers).

METHODS

init

Initialization of this class

install

Installs the backend (e.g. create tables).

Parameters:

none

set

Sets the tags for a specified entry.

Parameters:

  • $plugin - The plugin the entry belongs to

  • $entry - The identifier of the entry

  • @tags - List of all (not only new ones) tags for this entry.

get

Implementation of the get method of the plugin.

get_entries

Returns the entries, that match a specified tag query string and optionally belong to a specified plugin.

If a plugin is specified the identifiers (strings or numbers) of the entries will be returned in an arrayref:

        [ 'someentry', 'someother', 23, 42, ... ]

Otherwise the entries will be returned as a reference to an array containing hash references with the identifier and the plugin for each entry:

        [
                { entry => 'someentry', plugin => 'someplugin' },
                ...
        ]

Parameters:

  • $tagquery - Reference to an array containing the tags that each entry must have to match.

            ["sometag", "some other tag", "foo", "bar"]
            ->
            WHERE title = "sometag" AND title = "some other tag" AND title = "foo" AND title = "bar"

    There may also be additional arrayref entries inside the list which represent an OR-combined set of tags.

            ["sometag", [qw/one of these seven tags is enough/], "baz"]
            ->
            WHERE title = "sometag" AND title IN ("one", "of", "these", "seven", "tags", "is", "enough") AND title = "baz"
  • $plugin - Optional: Only return entries of this plugin.

delete

Implementation of "delete" in Konstrukt::Plugin::tags.
