IMPLEMENTATION STEPS

CONFIGURE IMAGE

ADD a PNG "ecc_config_database.png" to the path "ecc-themes\default\icon".

• LOAD the PNG into the GUI

Edit file: cGuiPopConfig, around line 752, add:

$this->DatabaseFolderImage->set_from_file(FACTORY::get('manager/GuiTheme')- >getThemeFolder('icon/ecc_config_database.png'));

CONFIG LABEL LANGUAGE (example NL)

• ADD label translation section in the i18n

Edit file: ecc-system\translations\nl\i18n_popupConfig.php, at the NEAR END, add:

/* ECCVERSION */
'DatabaseFolderLabel' =>
"Database map",

• LOAD label from i18n config into GUI Edit file: ecc-system\manager\cGuiPopConfig.php, around line 1050, add:

  $this->DatabaseFolderLabel->set_text(I18N::get('popupConfig', 'DatabaseFolderLabel'));

LOAD TEXTBOX DATA

• ADD config section/option into ecc config.

Edit "vanilla ecc_config", file: "ecc-system\system\config\ecc_general.ini", in section [USER_DATA] add:

database_path = "database/"

• LOAD config section/key into the GUI.

Edit file: ecc-system\manager\cGuiPopConfig.php, around line 1080, add:

$this->DatabaseFolderTextbox->set_text($iniManager->getKey('USER_DATA', 'database_path'));

• SAVE config to INI file.

Edit file: ecc-system\manager\cGuiPopConfig.php, around line 1240, ADD:

$this->globalIni['USER_DATA']['database_path'] = $this->DatabaseFolderTextbox->get_text();

USING THE VARIABLE IN THE TEXTBOX IN ECC

• LOAD folder config from INI,

Edit (for example) ecc.php, ADD:

$databaseFolder = $this->ini->getKey('USER_DATA', 'database_path'); // Load database folder from INI.

CONFIG BUTTON LANGUAGE (example NL)

Edit file: ecc-system\manager\cGuiPopConfig.php, around line 1050, ADD:

$this->DatabaseFolderLabel->set_text(I18N::get('popupConfig', 'DatabaseFolderLabel'));

USE THE BUTTON

• ADD A SIGNAL TO THE BUTTON (to run a php function "DatabaseFolderSearch")

Edit file: ecc-system\manager\cGuiPopConfig.php, around line 140, ADD:

$this->DatabaseFolderButton->connect_simple('clicked', array($this, 'DatabaseFolderSelect'));

• ADD A PHP FUNCTION WITH SEARCHBOX

Edit file: ecc-system\manager\cGuiPopConfig.php, around line 1500, ADD:

public function DatabaseFolderSelect() {
$oOs = FACTORY::get('manager/Os');
$path = realpath($this->DatabaseFolderTextbox->get_text());
$title = I18N::get('popupConfig', 'dialogDatabaseFolder');
$path_new = $oOs->openChooseFolderDialog($path, $title, false);
$path_new = $oOs->eccSetRelativeDir($path_new);
if ($path_new) $this->DatabaseFolderTextbox->set_text($path_new);
}
