Ok, I took some time and since kernel classes will have the ability of being overwritten soon, decided to dig a bit. The functionality I suggested above turned out to be comparatively easy to implement. I hope some of you take a look at it and if this doesn't violate anything, I'll add this little functionality as a suggestion - I believe many people may find it useful. I hope I didn't reinvent the wheel here ;) The purpose is to let registered and logged-in users to vote in a poll, but only once over a given period of time.
I started with the settings file, where I declared a <b>new mode</b>:
<i>/settings/override/collect.ini.append.php</i> CollectionUserDataList[poll]=timeunique
This will not work unless we extend the array a bit deeper:
<i>/kernel/classes/ezinformationcollection.php</i> static function userDataHandling( $contentObject ) {
(...)
if ( !in_array( $userData, array( 'multiple', 'unique', 'overwrite', 'timeunique' ) ) )
$userData = 'unique';
(...)
}
In the same file we add a new fetching method dedicated for our new mode: static function fetchByUserIdentifierTimeUnique( $userIdentifier, $contentObjectID = false, $asObject = true, $timeLimit = false ) {
if ( $timeLimit == false)
$timeLimit = time() - 86400;
$conditions = array( 'user_identifier' => $userIdentifier, 'created' => array( '>=', $timeLimit ) );
if ( $contentObjectID )
$conditions['contentobject_id'] = $contentObjectID;
return eZPersistentObject::fetchObject( eZInformationCollection::definition(), null, $conditions, $asObject );
}
All we've got to do now is to teach the content module to use our new fetching method:
<i>/kernel/content/collectinformation.php</i> (...)
$newCollection = false;
$collection = false;
$userDataHandling = eZInformationCollection::userDataHandling( $object );
if ( $userDataHandling == 'unique' or
$userDataHandling == 'overwrite' )
$collection = eZInformationCollection::fetchByUserIdentifier( eZInformationCollection::currentUserIdentifier(), $object->attribute( 'id' ) );
if ( $userDataHandling == 'timeunique' ) {
$collectionTimeLimit = time() - 600; // you can vote every ten minutes
$collection = eZInformationCollection::fetchByUserIdentifierTimeUnique( eZInformationCollection::currentUserIdentifier(), $object->attribute( 'id' ), $collectionTimeLimit);
}
if ( ( !$isLoggedIn and !$allowAnonymous ) or
( $userDataHandling == 'unique' and $collection ) or
( $userDataHandling == 'timeunique' and $collection) )
{
(...)
And few lines below we can provide a new error variable for the template, or extend the existing one:
(...)
$tpl->setVariable( 'error_existing_data', ( ( $userDataHandling == 'unique' and $collection ) or ( $userDataHandling == 'timeunique' and $collection ) ) );
(...)
Of course, it would still be nice to move the time declaration (<i>time()-600</i>) out to the settings file and make it possible to declare it separately for each class. I guess that also answers my own questions, at least some of them ;)
