| « Dive into configuration | ^ Advanced development |
− Table of content
From your classes, you can access to some global variables created by Jelix.
$gJConfig ¶
This object allow you to access to the configuration of the application. Each of its properties correspond to a configuration parameter stored in the defaultconfig.ini.php or the ini file of the entry point.
Calling gJConfig ¶
Here is an example in a function/method:
function test()
{
global $gJConfig;
$gJConfig->urlengine['basePath'];
// or, without using the global keyword
$GLOBALS['gJConfig']->urlengine['basePath'];
}
Accessing to parameters ¶
If the config.ini.php file of the entry point has this content:
startModule = "testapp"
startAction = "main:index"
[coordplugins]
autolocale = index/autolocale.ini.php
[responses]
html=myHtmlResponse
Then you can retrieve this parameters, by doing this:
function test()
{
global $gJConfig;
$a = $gJConfig->startModule; // "testapp"
$b = $gJConfig->coordplugins['autolocale']; // "index/autolocale.ini.php"
}
$gJCoord ¶
The $gJCoord object is the instance of a jCoordinator class, created in the entry point. You can then access to its method and properties to retrieve some informations and objects : plugins list, the current jResponse object, the current jRequest object, the current module name and action name etc.
Calling gJCoord ¶
function test()
{
global $gJCoord;
$gJCoord->request->type;
// or
$GLOBALS['gJCoord']->request->type;
}
Example ¶
If your entry point is called with the URL /index.php?test=1, here how to retrieve parameters and the script name:
function test()
{
global $gJCoord;
$a = $gJCoord->request->urlScriptName; // "index.php"
$b = $gJCoord->request->params['test']; // 1
}
