Package freeformdemo

Description:
This package contains a set of demo actions that will present some commonest features of the Freeform Framework

Classes:
  • FDAdvancedSelect
    This is the advanced selet box demo showing how to use select multiple and optgroups with separators
  • FDBaseAction
    This is the base class for every action in the freeformdemo package. It takes care of preparing the responce document and setting the templates. All demos will have templates that are named same as the action class plus the '.html' extension.
  • FDCache
    This class is the Cache Demo. It will display a page with the time of the request. The page will have the lifetime of 5 seconds during which it will be stored in the browser cache. It will also contain a link to refresh itself; clicking on it will NOT force the browser to fetch the page from the server - the generation time will not change during the 5 second period. If you enable server-side cache then you can open the page with another browser to see that Freeform will return the cached page for this another request too.
  • FDDemo
    This is the base class for every demo action in this package. It will take care of setting up the router (quick jump) form and preparing the 'next' and 'prev' links
  • FDForms
    This class is the Forms Demo. It shows a simple form with several fields. The processing of the form is made by this action also. Upon success, the form will be hidden, and a thank-you message will be displayed. In case of errors, the error details will be shown, followed by the form itself.
  • FDI18N
    This is the I18N API demo that will allow you to select country, language, collation and timezone and watch how the localized items will change. To successfully run this demo you will have to correctly confogure the i18n package.
  • FDLinks
    This is the Links demo to show the simplicity of making links to pages generated by other actions
  • FDLocationRewriter1
    This is a sample LocationRewriter implementation that will rewrite the URLs of the Locations using the base64 recode functions, so that un URL like http://localhost:80/index.php5?action=FDWelcome will be rewritten to http://localhost:80/YWN0aW9uPUZEV2VsY29tZQ==. To enable this rewriter, you'll have to modify the .htaccess or httpd.conf file and add this line: ErrorDocument 404 /error.php5. This will redirect all erroneous requests to a special wrapper launcher (error.php5, you can find it in the resources folder of this package. It has to be placed in the same directory where you placed the index.php5, Freeform loader file). Then open the .config file of the freeform package (located at {FREEFORM_HOME_DIR}/packages/freeform) and add this line: locationRewriter=FDLocationRewriter1. To disable the rewriter, simply undo the above changes. Note: if you employ this rewriter, please see the comments in the error.php5 file to learn about possible modes of using that file and about possible side-effects of such use. Also note that this rewriter cannot be used with GET forms as there is no way to force the user agent to rewrite the query string. Either you will have to provide a way of detecting whether the submitted URL is not encrypted or you should not use the GET forms with this rewriter.
  • FDLocationRewriter2
    This is a sample LocationRewriter implementation that will rewrite the URLs of the Locations using the following scheme:
    http://localhost:80/index.php5?action=ActionName¶m=value into
    http://localhost:80/index.php5/ActionName/param=value. To enable this rewriter, you'll have to modify the .htaccess or httpd.conf file and add these lines: 
     RewriteEngine on
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteRule ([^/]*)/?(.*) /index\.php5\?action=$1&$2 [QSA]
    Then open the .config file of the freeform package (located at {FREEFORM_HOME_DIR}/packages/freeform) and add this line: locationRewriter=FDLocationRewriter2. To disable the rewriter, simply undo the above changes.
  • FDPI
    This class is the PHP Processing Instructions Demo. It will present a page, part of which will be produced by the PHP code embedded into the template.
