Is it possible to put an override for ezjscore.ini in a design extension, or in the main settings section?

Hi Nicolas,

That's good news!

I'm still a bit hazy about what happens when one is using a design extension though. Can you override settings for one extension in another?

Would any of these work?

/extension/ezwebin_custom/settings/ezjscore.ini.append.php

/extension/ezwebin_custom/design/ezwebin/settings/ezjscore.ini.append.php

/extension/ezwebin_custom/design/ezwebin/settings/mysiteaccess/ezjscore.ini.append.php

Regards

Hi Paul,

The first one above is correct, acting as a global override (like if the override file was located in <ezroot>/settings/override/).

The second one is incorrect: a configuration file, and by extension a 'settings' directory, can not be placed in a design directory.

Same answer for the 3rd option above.

Per your question : "Can you override settings for one extension in another?", you sure can. I'd recommend to have a look at this thread : http://share.ez.no/forums/setup-design/ini-settings-override-order , will shed the final light on your interrogations.

cheers Paul,

Hi Nicolas,

It took me a while to work out how to tell if my settings override was working or not, but I have it working now. Note, for anyone else doing this, that the order of your extensions in your /site/override/site.ini.append.php file affects the priority or cascade of the ini files. Contrary to Łukasz's blog my extensions seem to work in reverse order, the higher in the list the higher priority.

Here's my extension settings block.

 [ExtensionSettings]
ActiveExtensions[]
ActiveExtensions[]=ezwt
ActiveExtensions[]=ezstarrating
ActiveExtensions[]=ezgmaplocation
ActiveExtensions[]=ezoe
ActiveExtensions[]=ezodf
ActiveExtensions[]=ezmultiupload
ActiveExtensions[]=ezwebin_custom
ActiveExtensions[]=ezwebin
ActiveExtensions[]=ezjscore

Also, I've noticed that if you activate an extension in the admin interface, rather than by editing the site.ini directly, eZ Publish seems to get creative with the order - which can wreak havoc on your site.

Hi!

As i can see, now all methods wich are mapped to AJAX calls are static. And we cant get a current instace ($this). But if you change some code in ezjscServerRouter::call() it will became possible:

line 241:

return call_user_func_array( array( $this->className, $this->functionName ), array( $this->functionArguments, &$environmentArguments, $isPackeStage ) );

to

return call_user_func_array( array( new $this->className, $this->functionName ), array( $this->functionArguments, &$environmentArguments, $isPackeStage ) );

In this case we can put some usefull code in ezjscServerFunctions::__constructor wich will parse POST vars, for example (but to get them, all AJAX mapped methods shouldn`t be static )

Great article, the only thing I think it's missing more of a real-world example. For instance, it would be great to see an example of how to use this to submit a Poll object from the embed view and get back the poll results without refreshing the entire page. Is that something you can do with ezjscore?

@thibaut: for ajax content you're completely spoiled nowadays:

• use soap (does a javascript client even exist? hahaha): write a php function for every soap method exposed
• use xmlrpc/jsonrpc: install the ggsysinfo extension, code exposed webservices as php functions, js client can be any supporting those standard protocols (but a client js class based on YUI is also included), permission checking as bonus
• use ezjscore: similar to xmlrpc/jsonrpc, main difference being usage of a custom wire protocol (and templates can be used to implement the exposed services - crazy!)
• use json templates for custom content views (see eg. ggxmlview extension)
• expose all existing fetch functions as xmlrpc/jsonrpc/ezjscore methods without writing a single line of code: use the ezwebservicesapi extension. Then write your custom fetch functions ;-)
• last but not least, use the new rest api. Faster and less memory hungry than other methods, it might still be a little lacking in permission checking and cache purge capablities
