User visible changes can happen any time. =head1 DESCRIPTION B is a subclass of C which allows the esay(TM) creation of simple multi screen CGI scripts. By 'multi screen' I mean scripts which present different screens to the user when called with different parameters. This is the common case for scripts linking to themselves. To use B, you have to subclass it. For each screen you want to present to the user, you must create a method IC. This method has to produce the HTML code for the screen. CGI::Screen does generate HTTP headers and an HTML framework for you. The HTML framework already contains the C
tags. You can customize the HTTP headers and the HTML framework by providing callback methods. CGI::Screen keeps track of the CGI parameters used in your screen and passes old parameters which are not used in the current screen. It highjacks the parameters C* to dispatch the different screens the script implements. The C and C fields are used if you enable the builtin simple authentication. In general you should advice your HTTP server to do authentication. But sometimes it is convenient to check the authentication at the script level. Especially if you do not have access to your server's configuration. =head2 The constructor C If the first parameter of C is the string C<-screen> the second argument must be a hash reference specifying the options for the subclass. Other parameters are passed to the constructor of C. =over =item C<-dont_cut_loops> Normaly the history of pages will not be extended if the current page is the same as the last page. So looping on a page will not change the result of the C method. If the option C<-dont_cut_loops> is provided and true, the page will recorded twice. A third visit will be interpreted as jump back to the first visit. I =back =head2 Adding Screens All applications should provide a B
screen by defining a method C. This method is called if no (existing) screen is specified in the parameters. The method is called with three arguments: The query object, the screen name and the screen title (More precisely the third parameter, if present, is the text on the button or anchor which caused the jump to this page). So the minimal application looks like this: use CGI::Screen; use vars qw(@ISA); @ISA = qw(CGI::Screen); my $query = __PACKAGE__->new; $query->dispatch; sub main_screen { my $query = shift; print $query->p('This is the Main Screen'); } That is not too exciting. Let us add a second screen and allow navigation between the screens: sub main_screen { my $query = shift; print $query->p('This is the Main Screen'), $query->goto_screen('second', 'Another Screen'); } sub second_screen { my $query = shift; print $query->p('This is the Other Screen'), $query->goto_screen('main', 'Back to Main Screen'); } =head2 Moving between screens Use the method C to produce a button for switching to another screen. You can also produce an anchor instead of a button by calling C instead of C. You may pass additional parameters to encode: my %score = some_fancy_search_algorithm($self->param('query')); for my $docid (keys %score) { print $query->link_to_screen('display', $title{$docid}, 'docid' => $docid, 'score' => $score{$docid}); } For convenience, CGI::Screen keeps track of the last screen for you so that you can link to the previous page. Note that only the last seven screens are saved: my $screen = $query->last_screen; print $query->p("You came from screen $screen. Press "), $query->goto_screen($query->last_screen), $query->p(" to go back"); C returns screen name and title in list context and screen name in scalar context. Do not use the CGI parameters C since they are changed before you can get hold of them C<;-P> =head2 The callbacks All callbacks are called with three arguments: The query object, the screen name and the screen title (= button/anchor text). Callbacks should return a string. =item C The C method returns a string which is used in the default C and C<headline> callbacks. The Default method returns the string C<"CGI::Screen Test"> and should definitely be overwritten by your application. =item C<title> The result of the method is used in the HTTP header and in the default headline. It defaults to the I<application>. =item C<headline> The C<headline> method should return a chunk of HTML code to start the Screen. It defaults to the I<title> enclosed in C<H1> tags. =head2 Authentication To enable password authentication, define a method C<check_auth_user>. The dispatcher will call the method with the user and password entered by the user. The method should return true if the authentication succeeded and false otherwise. The dispatcher will present the C<login_screen> if the authentication failed. sub check_auth_user { my ($query, $user, $passwd) = @_; $user eq 'pfeifer'; } For IP address based authentication define the method C<check_auth_ip>. sub check_auth_ip { my ($query, $ipaddr) = @_; $ipaddr =~ /^(193\.96\.65\.|139\.4\.36\.)/; } If you do not like the default login screen, overwrite with your own C<login_screen>. Use the CGI parameters C<screen_user> and C<screen_passwd>. =head2 Customizing the Title You may provide a custom C<title> method to generate a title for your screens. sub title { my ($query, $screen) = shift; $query->application . ': ' . $screen; } =head2 Customizing the Headline You may provide a custom C<headline> method to generate a HTML chunk to start your screens. sub headline { $_[0]->h1(title(@_)) } You should overwrite the C<application> method if you use the default title and headline. sub application { 'CGI::Screen Test' } =head2 Customizing the Trailer For a custom Trailer, define the C<trailer> method. sub trailer { my ($query, $screen) = shift; "End of Screen $screen"; } =head2 Multiple Forms If you want to have multiple forms on one screen, call the method C<new_form>. sub multi_screen { my $query = shift; print $query->p('This is the Main Screen'), $query->textfield('foo'), $query->goto_screen('first', 'First'), $query->new_form, $query->textfield('foo'), $query->goto_screen('second', 'Second'); } =head2 Non HTML screens You can create non HTML screens by defining a I<name>C<_data> method instead of a <name>C<_screen> method. For C<data> screens you have to generate HTTP headers yourself. sub gif_data { my $query = shift; print $query->header( -type => 'image/gif', -status => '200 OK', -expires => '+120s', ); my $font = $query->param('font'); my $w = GD::Font->$font()->width; my $h = GD::Font->$font()->height; my $im = GD::Image->new((length($query->param('foo'))+2)*$w,$h); my $white = $im->colorAllocate(255,255,255); my $red = $im->colorAllocate(255,0,0); my $black = $im->colorAllocate(0,0,0); $im->transparent($white); $im->arc(8,8,5,5,0,360,$red); $im->string(GD::Font->$font(),10,0,$query->param('foo'),$black); print $im->gif; } =head2 Keeping parameter values CGI::Screen keeps track of the CGI parameters used in the current form. It simply looks at the first parameter in any call to a CGI method. If the first parameter is C<-name>, the second parameter is marked as I<used parameter>. CGI::Screen passed all current parameter values not used in hidden fields or in the query string of an anchor. So do not use old style CGI calls to bypass this mechanism or you will end up with multiple values for the parameters. If you want to get rid of a parameter, you must explicitly call the C<delete> method of CGI. =head1 BUGS Support for importing from CGI.pm is incomplete. =head1 AUTHOR Ulrich Pfeifer E<lt>F<pfeifer@wait.de>E<gt> =head1 SEE ALSO The CGI(3) manual and the demo CGI script F<eg/screen> included in the distribution. =head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank Andreas Koenig F<koenig@kulturbox.de> for the fruitful discussion about the design of this module. =head1 Copyright The B<CGI::Screen> module is Copyright (c) 1997,1998 Ulrich Pfeifer.
