The Nodes module

The Nodes module (nodes) introduces the Node content type to the CMS Icybee. Most modules introducing content types inherit from it, this includes the Contents module (contents) as well as the Pages module module (pages).

Provided classes

The module provides several classes that might be of interest if you want to write a sub-module, although you might rather create a sub-module of the Contents module (contents). Of course, there if the ActiveRecord class and its model class, but also blocks, operations and a view provider.

Event hooks

ICanBoogie\Modules\System\Modules\ActivateOperation::process

Updates default admin routes.

ICanBoogie\Modules\System\Modules\DeactivateOperation::process

Updates default admin routes.

Icybee\Modules\Users\User::collect_dependencies

Register the nodes depending on the specified record. All node types are registered whatever their module (constructor).

ICanBoogie\Modules\Users\DeleteOperation::process:before

Checks if the user being deleted is used by any node. If the user is used and error with the uid key is added to the error collector.

Patron markups

node:navigation

The markup creates a navigation block with links to the list, the next record and the previous record.

<p:node:navigation />

Dashboard panels

The module provides two dashboard panels. One displays a summary of the number of records per node category. The other displays a list of the last nodes updated by the user.

Patching

Node slugs are created using the slugize() function. The default implementation uses normalize(), but one might want to provide a better implementation, such as one removing stop words according the the language of the node.

The following example demonstrates how the slugize() function could be patched to use a remove_stop_words() function:

<?php

Icybee\Modules\Nodes\Helpers::patch('slugize', function($str, $language=null) {

	return \ICanBoogie\normalize(remove_stop_words($str, $language));

});
