== iPeer v2 Technical Documentation == === rdAuth Components: === rdAuth components monitors the current user’s information such as id, role, username, fullname. To get the current user’s attribute, we can call: From View: $rdAuth->id From Controller: $this->rdAuth->id === Sys_Parameter Settings: === System Parameters are loaded once the users has login successfully. There are 2 core parameters that control the iPeer integration with UBC CWL: For General version: ||Parameter Code||Parameter Value|| ||custom.login_control||ipeer ||custom.login_page_pathname||Leave it as empty For UBC CWL customization: ||Parameter Code||Parameter Value ||custom.login_control||UBC_CWL ||custom.login_page_pathname||custom_ubc_cwl_login To check whether the iPeer is UBC CWL integrated or not: {{{ if (isset($this->rdAuth->customIntegrateCWL) && $this->rdAuth->customIntegrateCWL) { // ipeer is integrated with CWL } }}} === Get Sys_Parameter from iPeer: === e.g. Get the parameter code ‘system.upload_dir’: {{{ $uploadDir = $this->sysContainer->getParamByParamCode('system.upload_dir'); $uploadFile = APP.$uploadDir['parameter_value'] . $filename; }}} === Some useful functions: === 1.Get all accessible courses: {{{ $courseList = $this->sysContainer->getMyCourseList(); }}} 2.Get no. of members within a group: {{{ $numMembers=$event['Event']['self_eval'] ? $this->GroupsMembers->findCount('group_id='.$groupId) : $this->GroupsMembers->findCount('group_id='.$groupId) - 1; }}} === Caution: To upgrade CakePHP library for iPeer, please also look into the following files to change for iPeer customization: === 1.replace all thtml -> tpl.php, since iPeer use php extension instead of thtml 2.change the controller.php in \cake\libs\controller 3.change html.php helper in \cake\libs\view\helpers 4.change dbo_source.php in \cake\libs\model\datasources === UBC CWL Integration:=== Instead of the Sys_Parameter setting from database, there are two files for CWL integration: ipeer_v2\app\controller\loginout_controller.php ipeer_v2\app\views\loginout\custom_ubc_cwl_login.tpl.php Note: Remove all the following code when release the iPeer v2 to SourceForge.
