30. TWILIGHT ZONE - MESOPELAGIC PLUGIN BASICS 3300 ft buildwithcraft.com/docs/plugins/introduction Other plugin types Not happy with the 18 different fields craft gives you out of the box? 
 Build your own. _ [ ] FIELD TYPES DASHBOARD WIDGETS Provide overview data to the dashboard that you can see when you first login. Keep it simple.
31. TWILIGHT ZONE - MESOPELAGIC PLUGIN BASICS 3300 ft Choose a name that’s easy to remember Plugin names should be 1 word or an abbreviation
32. TWILIGHT ZONE - MESOPELAGIC PLUGIN BASICS 3300 ft Lets get some things out of the way. 1. Plugins must have unique names (folder names and handles) 2. Plugins must have a primary Plugin Class before they can be installed or enabled 3. Plugins can run functions on init() or after events happen in Craft 4. Plugins can be used to embed custom variables like {{ craft.pluginName.variable }} 5. Plugins utilize their own templates to build out custom areas in the Craft Admin area 6. Plugins can act as field types and dashboard widgets 7. Plugins run custom actions that can be triggered manually or upon hooks and events Plugin Basics

DARK ZONE - BATHYPELAGIC PLUGIN STRUCTURE 13,200 ft <?php namespace Craft; /** * Sample Variable */ class SampleVariable { /** * Output Hello World * {{ craft.sample.hello }} */ public function hello() { return 'Hello world!'; } } This allows you to use variables like {{ craft.sample.hello }} Outputting a simple variable
40. DARK ZONE - BATHYPELAGIC PLUGIN STRUCTURE 13,200 ft Give your plugin life within the Craft Admin panel Building an Admin Template Step 1) - Add “hasCpSection()” to your primary plugin class <?php namespace Craft; class SamplePlugin extends BasePlugin { function getName() { return Craft::t('Sample Plugin'); } . . . function hasCpSection() { return true; } }
41. DARK ZONE - BATHYPELAGIC PLUGIN STRUCTURE 13,200 ft Give your plugin life within the Craft Admin panel Building an Admin Template Step 1) - Add “hasCpSection()” to your primary plugin class Step 2) - Create a “templates” folder with an “index.html” file <?php namespace Craft; class SamplePlugin extends BasePlugin { function getName() { return Craft::t('Sample Plugin'); } // . . . function hasCpSection() { return true; } }

47. ABYSS - ABYSSOPELAGIC PLUGIN CRUD 19,800 ft RECORD > MODEL > SERVICE > CONTROLLER > VARIABLE We’re going to create a quick CRUD Plugin

48. ABYSS - ABYSSOPELAGIC PLUGIN CRUD 19,800 ft Time to start recording some data Creating a record Create a records folder with a “SampleRecord.php” file inside <?php namespace Craft; class SampleRecord extends BaseRecord { public function getTableName() { return 'sample'; } protected function defineAttributes() { return array( 'name' => array( AttributeType::String, 'required' => true), 'desc' => array( AttributeType::String, 'column' => ColumnType::Text), ); } } This will do two things 1) Upon Plugin install Craft will create this new table 2) The table created will create the defined attributes
49. ABYSS - ABYSSOPELAGIC PLUGIN CRUD 19,800 ft Matching up with our records Creating a model <?php namespace Craft; class SampleModel extends BaseModel { protected function defineAttributes() { return array( 'name' => AttributeType::String, 'desc' => AttributeType::String ); } }
50. ABYSS - ABYSSOPELAGIC PLUGIN CRUD 19,800 ft We need to access our data Creating a service <?php namespace Craft; class SampleService extends BaseApplicationComponent { public function samples() { $lemmings = craft()->db->createCommand() ->select('*') ->from('sample') ->where('') ->queryAll(); return $samples; } } Return all of our samples so we can display a for loop samples()
51. ABYSS - ABYSSOPELAGIC PLUGIN CRUD 19,800 ft We need to access our data Creating a service <?php namespace Craft; class SampleService extends BaseApplicationComponent { public function getSample($sampleId) { if ($record = $this->record ->findByPk($sampleId)) { return SampleModel:: populateModel($record); } } } Grab a single sample using a provided sample ID getSample($sampleId)
52. ABYSS - ABYSSOPELAGIC PLUGIN CRUD 19,800 ft We need to access our data Creating a service <?php namespace Craft; class SampleService extends BaseApplicationComponent { $model = new SampleModel(); $model->setAttributes($attributes); return $model; } Simple. Create a Sample using the attributes we provide create($attributes = array())
53. ABYSS - ABYSSOPELAGIC PLUGIN CRUD 19,800 ft We need to access our data Creating a service <?php namespace Craft; class SampleService extends BaseApplicationComponent { public function save(SampleModel &$model) { if ($id = $model->getAttribute('id')) { if (null === ($record = 
 $this->record->findByPk($id))) { throw new Exception(
 Craft::t('Can\'t find a sample with ID 
 "{id}"', array('id' => $id))); } } else { $record = new SampleRecord(); } $record->setAttributes($model->getAttributes()); if ($record->save()) { // update id on model (for new records) $model->setAttribute('id', $record->getAttribute('id')); return true; } else { $model->addErrors($record->getErrors()); return false; } } Save (or update if you prefer) save(SampleModel &$model)
54. ABYSS - ABYSSOPELAGIC PLUGIN CRUD 19,800 ft We need to access our data Creating a service <?php namespace Craft; class SampleService extends BaseApplicationComponent { $record = SampleRecord::model() ->findByPk($id); if ($record) { $record->delete(); } } Simple. Delete a Sample. delete($id)
55. ABYSS - ABYSSOPELAGIC PLUGIN CRUD 19,800 ft Lets catch those actions Creating a controller Catch our save action and go actionSave() <?php namespace Craft; class SampleController extends 
 BaseController { public function actionSave() { if ($id = craft()->request->getPost('sampleId')) { $model = craft()->sample->getSample($id); } else { $model = craft()->sample->create(); } $data = craft()->request->getPost(); $model->name = $data['name']; $model->desc = $data['desc']; if($model->validate()) { craft()->sample->save($model); craft()->userSession->setNotice(
 Craft::t('Sample saved.')); return $this->redirectToPostedUrl(); } else { craft()->userSession->setError(
 Craft::t('There was a problem with 
 your submission, please check the 
 form and try again!')); craft()->urlManager->
 setRouteVariables(array('sample' => $model)); } }
56. ABYSS - ABYSSOPELAGIC PLUGIN CRUD 19,800 ft Lets catch those actions Creating a controller Grab our Sample ID from our post and delete actionDelete() <?php namespace Craft; class SampleController extends 
 BaseController { public function actionDelete() { $this->requirePostRequest(); $id = craft()->request->
 getRequiredPost('id'); craft()->sample->delete($id); craft()->end(); } }
57. ABYSS - ABYSSOPELAGIC PLUGIN CRUD 19,800 ft Interacting with our Samples Updating our variables <?php namespace Craft; class SampleVariable { // Output Hello World 
 // {{ craft.sample.hello }} public function hello() { return 'Hello world!'; } // Grab all Samples public function samples() { return craft()->sample->samples(); } 
 // Grab an individual Sample public function getSample($sampleId) { return craft()->sample->
 getSample($sampleId); } } Will return ‘Hello world!’ when using {{ craft.sample.hello }}
 We’re keeping this because it’s cool hello() Links over to services and grabs an array of our samples samples() Links over to services and grabs a single sample getSample()
58. ABYSS - ABYSSOPELAGIC PLUGIN CRUD 19,800 ft Interacting with our Samples Our templates View all of our samples. 
 Links to create, edit and delete samples. index.html {% set samples = craft.sample.samples() %} {% if samples %} <h1 class="left">Your Samples</h1> <div class="elements"> <div class="tableview"> <table class="data"> <thead> <tr><th scope="col">Name</th> <th scope="col">Description</th> <th scope="col">Create Date</th> <th scope="col">Last Updated</th> <th scope="col">Actions</th> </tr></thead> <tbody> {% for sample in samples %} <tr> <td><a href="{{ url('sample/build/'~sample.id) }}”> {{ sample.name }}</a></td> <td>{{ sample.desc|trim[:50] }}...</td> <td>{{ sample.dateCreated|date('M. d, Y') }}</td> <td>{{ sample.dateUpdated|date('M. d, Y') }}</td> <td><a href="{{ url('sample/build/'~sample.id) }}" 
 class="action settings icon" title="Settings"></a> <a class="action delete icon" data-id="{{ sample.id }}" 
 title="Remove"></a></td> </tr> {% endfor %} </tbody> </table> </div> </div> {% else %} <h1>Oops you don't have any samples yet</h1> <p>Why don't you create one?</p> <a href="{{ url('sample/build/') }}">
 <button class="btn submit">Create Sample</button>
 </a> {% endif %}
59. ABYSS - ABYSSOPELAGIC PLUGIN CRUD 19,800 ft Not this again Primary Plugin Class This also allows you to pass in the dynamic values like sampleID Also know as a hook. You must set Dynamic CP Routes - exclusively <?php namespace Craft; class SamplePlugin extends BasePlugin { // … function registerCpRoutes() { return array( 'sample/build\/(?P<sampleId>\d+)' => 'sample/build', ); } }
60. ABYSS - ABYSSOPELAGIC PLUGIN CRUD 19,800 ft Interacting with our Samples Our templates Create and update our samples build.html {% if sampleId is not defined %}{% set sampleId = null %}{% endif %} {% if sample is not defined %} {% if sampleId %} {% set sample = craft.sample.getSample(sampleId) %} {% if not sample %}{% exit 404 %}{% endif %} {% else %} {% set sample = null %} {% endif %} {% endif %} {% set content %} <h1>Build a new sample</h1> <form method="post" action=""> <input type="hidden" name="action" value="sample/save" /> <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="{{ url('sample') }}" /> <input type="hidden" name="sampleId" value="{{ sampleId }}" /> {{ forms.textField({ label: 'Sample Name'|t, required: true, name: 'name', id: 'name', value: sample ? sample.name : null, instructions: 'What should this sample be named?' }) }} {{ forms.textareaField({ label: 'Sample Description'|t, required: false, id: 'desc', name: 'desc', rows: '5', value: sample ? sample.desc : null, instructions: 'Provide a short write up about this sample' }) }} <div class="buttons"> <input type="submit" class="btn submit" value="{{ 'Save'|t }}"> </div> </form> {% endset %}
