We need a real framework to make GLPI easier to maintain and extend.
We need to know where we want to go in order to migrate slowly to such a structure.
Example : see https://dev.indepnet.net/glpi/browser/branches/0.72-mvc
Steps to clean actual structure :- Auto include : all functions in classes
- Rename clases like tables
- A single param for each functions : an array which must be checked
- Actions must be named action (simply 'a') not update / add / delete / purge :
- Clean front : merge form and search / do it with a switch -> one object / one controller
- Add controller name in URL with name : c -> glpi.php for simple front router
- Makes tabs in form with ajax -> forms can be associated to a single view
Now, we have a beginning of a MVC structure :
- pages in front corresponding to controllers
- CommonDBTM is a global management class which contains parts of model, view and controller.
We need to make a simple prototype describing destination structure.
First step may be to migrate to a MC model : View included in Controller
Meta Controller : launch specific controller based on $_REQUEST['module']
Controller : example of migration of computer.form.php and computer.php
// Computer_Controller extends Common_Controller // Controller make checks on rights to do an action $computer_controller=new Computer_Controller(); // Action send as $_REQUEST['action'] $computer_controller->$_REQUEST['action']($_REQUEST); // $_REQUEST['action'] may be list (computer.php), view, add, delete, add_document, add_device...
