Class::Classgen::New is a Perl module that creates the new() method for classes generated by classgen.

SYNOPSIS

Used within classgen.

The main purpose of New.pm is to write the new() method for a class generated by classgen. It provides code to derive local instance variables with my for all specified instance variables. It provides code to store them within an anonymous hash (only way in the current version). Finally, this hash is blessed into the desired class.

Methods generated by New.pm

In the blessing section of the generated new() method:
inherit_from(): copies the entries of the blessed {} from the base class into the blessed {} of the derived class.

ENVIRONMENT

Nothing special. Just use Perl5.

DIAGNOSTICS

There is no special diagnostics. New.pm is used within classgen which is called with the -w option.

CGI::Kwiki::New is the default new wiki generator for CGI::Kwiki.

A Wiki is a website that allows its users to add pages, and edit any existing pages. It is one of the most popular forms of web collaboration. If you are new to wiki, visit http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WelcomeVisitors which is possibly the oldest wiki, and has lots of information about how wikis work.

There are dozens of wiki implementations in the world, and many of those are written in Perl. As is common with many Perl hacks, they are rarely modular, and almost never released on CPAN. One major exception is CGI::Wiki. This is a wiki framework that is extensible and is actively maintained.

Another exception is this module, CGI::Kwiki. CGI::Kwiki focuses on simplicity and extensibility. You can create a new kwiki website with a single command. The module has no prerequisite modules, except the ones that ship with Perl. It doesnt require a database backend, although it could be made to use one. The default kwiki behaviour is fairly full featured, and includes support for html tables. Any behaviour of the kwiki can be customized, without much trouble.

SPECIAL FEATURES

CGI::Kwiki will come with some fancy addons not found in most wiki implementations. This comes with the promise that they will not interfere with the sheer simplicity of the default kwiki interface.

Check http://http://www.kwiki.org/index.cgi?KwikiFeatures from time to time to see what hot features have been added.

Kwiki Slide Show

You can create an entire PowerPoint-like slideshow, in a single kwiki page. There is Javascript magic for advancing slides, etc. See the sample page KwikiSlideShow.

EXTENDING

CGI::Kwiki is completely Object Oriented. You can easily override every last behaviour by subclassing one of its class modules and overriding one or more methods. This is generally accomplished in just a few lines of Perl.

The best way to describe this is with an example. Start with the config file. The default config file is called "config.yaml". It contains a set of lines like this:

config_class: CGI::Kwiki::Config
driver_class: CGI::Kwiki::Driver
cgi_class: CGI::Kwiki::CGI
cookie_class: CGI::Kwiki::Cookie
database_class: CGI::Kwiki::Database
metadata_class: CGI::Kwiki::Metadata
display_class: CGI::Kwiki::Display
edit_class: CGI::Kwiki::Edit
formatter_class: CGI::Kwiki::Formatter
template_class: CGI::Kwiki::Template
search_class: CGI::Kwiki::Search
changes_class: CGI::Kwiki::Changes
prefs_class: CGI::Kwiki::Prefs
pages_class: CGI::Kwiki::Pages
slides_class: CGI::Kwiki::Slides
javascript_class: CGI::Kwiki::Javascript
style_class: CGI::Kwiki::Style
scripts_class: CGI::Kwiki::Scripts

This is a list of all the classes that make up the kwiki. You can change anyone of them to be a class of your own.

Lets say that you wanted to change the BOLD format indicator from "*bold*" to bold. You just need to override the "bold()" method of the Formatter class. Start by changing "config.yaml".

formatter_class: MyKwikiFormatter

Then write a module called "MyKwikiFormatter.pm". You can put this module right in your kwiki installation directory if you want. The module might look like this:

package MyKwikiFormatter;
use base CGI::Kwiki::Formatter;

sub bold {
my ($self, $text) = @_;
$text =~ s!(.*?)!$1!g;
return $text;
}

1;

Not too hard, eh? You can change all aspects of CGI::Kwiki like this, from the database storage to the search engine, to the main driver code. If you come up with a set of classes that you want to share with the world, just package them up as a distribution and put them on CPAN.

By the way, you can even change the configuration file format from the YAML default. If you wanted to use say, XML, just call the file "config.xml" and write a module called "CGI::Kwiki::Config_xml".

No New Window forces Firefox to never open links in a new window automatically.

If you want to open a link in a new window, you can still do that via the context menu, but if a website author specifies that a link should open in a new window, that is ignored.

Please note that this extension is not needed anymore (and does, indeed, not install) in Firefox 1.5, as that version offers the desired behaviour as a configuration option.

New Driver and Tools is a SuperKaramba theme that displays the latest version of drivers and of some tools.

By clicking on the globe youll get on the homepage of the driver/tool.

Im looking forward for your feedback.

Create New Template Service Menu is a context menu item for KDE and Konqueror that automates adding Create New... menu entries from existing files. It adds a "Create Template" item to the Actions submenu of the context menu. It consists of a service menu .desktop file and a shell script.
KDE Create New Template Service Menu
This service menu removes the hassle of hand-coding Create New... menu entries. It is accessed by right-clicking regular file icons on the desktop or in Konqueror, pointing to Actions, and selecting Create Template.
It consists of a service menu .desktop file and a Bash shell script. The Create Template service menu runs a shell script that brings up two dialogs--one for choosing an icon to associate with the Create New... menu entry, and the other for entering the menu item text itself. It uses this information to write a Create New... menu item .desktop file. The shell script bases the name of the .desktop file on the name of the document file clicked on from the desktop and places a copy of the file in the .sources subdirectory of ~/.kde/share/templates.
The service menu should be placed in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus and the shell script in ~/bin.
I suggest that users first install the Simple Service Menu Installer available from http://www.kde-apps.org/content/download.php?content=23760&id=1. That service menu provides the same service for installable service menus that mine does for document templates and will greatly simplify the process of installing this service menu. After downloading that service menu just right-click on it, point to Actions, point to Install Service, and click one of the options available on the submenu. Then to install my service menu, just follow the same proceedure and place the shell script in your personal ~/bin directory.
From that point on you will have a nice, simple method of adding both installable service menus and templates to the KDE context menu.

Enhancements:
- Changed menu icons to more appropriate ones.
