This is the development page for the REST handler.

Installation

- Save the first code block below as handlers/page/rest.php
- Give it the same file permissions as the other php files in that directory
- Modify wikka.php as shown on the second code block below
- Modify libs/Wakka.class.php as shown on the third code block below

Code


1. New handlers/page/rest.php file

<?php
#
# Selects and returns the requested XML chunk(s) of the page
#
# @package      Handlers
# @name         REST
#
# @authors      DomBonj
#
# @version      0.92
#
# @input        Parameters in URL : [tag][/attr[/value]]
#                   if attr = index, value must be an integer
#
# @output       returns a UTF-8 string (empty if no match)
#
# @uses         Wakka::HasAccess()
#

}
?>

2. In wikka.php, go to line 378 and replace the following code block:

if (!preg_match("/(xml|raw|mm|grabcode)$/", $method))
{

with the following code block:

if ((!preg_match("/(xml|raw|mm|grabcode)$/", $method)) && (!preg_match("/^rest(\W|$)/", $method)))
{

3. In libs/Wakka.class.php, go to line 1743 and replace the following code block:

// raw page handler
elseif ($this->method == "raw")
{
    header("Content-type: text/plain");
    print($this->Method($this->method));
}
// grabcode page handler

with the following code block:

// raw page handler
elseif ($this->method == "raw")
{
    header("Content-type: text/plain");
    print($this->Method($this->method));
}
// REST handler
elseif (preg_match('/^rest(\W|$)/', $this->method))
{
    preg_match('/^rest(\/(.*))?/', $this->method, $matches);
    header("Content-type: text/plain");
    $this->RESTreq = $matches[2];
    print($this->Method('rest'));
}
// grabcode page handler
