Class \Scrivo\Context

Working with Scrivo data requires a number of resources to be present. Of course there should be a database connection to a Scrivo database and also an instance id that refers to the data if a scrivo instance in the database (a Scrivo database can store data for multiple instances/websites).

Also a principal id is required. This principal id is used to determine the permissions for actions that are excecuted on behalf of the principal.

Then there is the configuration data: the entries in the ".htscrivo" file and the object id labels.

All this information is what we call the Scrivo context. Working with Scrivo data will almost always require you to setup a Scrivo context first. The parameters for the database connection and the instance id are mandatory entries in the Scrivo config file, a principal id will usually be retrieved from a session or is set progammatically. Thus configuration data and a principal id is all what is required to instantiate a Scrivo context.

$context = new \Scrivo\Context( new \Scrivo\Config(), \Scrivo\User::PRIMARY_ADMIN_ID); $homepage = new \Scrivo\Page($context, $context->labels->HOME);

Some other usage examples:

// Get the current (user) principal from the context. $currentUser = new \Scrivo\User($context, $context->principalId);

// Get a reference to the contexts PDO connection and instance id. $conn = $context->connection; $instId = $context->instanceId;

// Get the value of a configuration entry $wwwRoot = $context->config->WWW_ROOT;

// Get an object id by its label. $contactPageId = $context->labels->CONTACT;

// Check write permission on the page labelled contact. $context->checkPermission( \Scrivo\AccessController::WRITE_ACCESS, $context->labels->CONTACT);
