-type

(required)

type of resource (e.g. "forms" or "lists")

-style

(required)

name of the resource within the type (e.g. "standard")

Testcases:

Given a path like /packages/acs-admin/www/index pointing to an .adp file, this function tries to locate this path in the ResourceDir of the subsite (determined by the theme). If found the themed template is returned, otherwise the passed template path.

Switches:

-verbose

(boolean) (defaults to "false") (optional)

Parameters:

path - absolute path within the open acs tree (without extension)

Returns:

path to themed template or input value (without extension)

Declare local variables for every key in an array.

Parameters:

arrayname - The name of an array in the calling frame. DEPRECATED: this is a trivial idiom that can just be inlined.

Builds an array named "opts" in the calling frame, containing all switches passed at the end of a proc. The array values are either switch parameters or 1 if no parameter was specified. Problem: there is currently no way to specify an option parameter that begins with a dash. This particularly problematic for negative numbers.

Parameters:

argv

get_opts

Get the directory portion of a URL. If the URL has a trailing slash, then return the entire URL.

Parameters:

url

Testcases:

get_url_directory

Determines whether a variable both exists and is not an empty string.

Parameters:

ref - The name of a variable to test in the calling frame.

Returns:

1 if the variable either not exist or is an empty string. 0 if the variable is either an array reference or a nonempty scalar.

Testcases:

util_is_nil

interprets its argument as a boolean.

Parameters:

x - the value to test DEPRECATED 5.10.1: since October 2015 this proc is implemented via the standard Tcl idiom "string is true -strict ..." that can be easily inlined.

Returns:

0 if the variable can be interpreted as false; 1 for true if it can't.

Queries a database table for the existence of a particular row. Useful for validating form input to reduce the possibility of unique constraint violations.

Parameters:

table - The name of a database table.
columns - A list of columns on which to select the row.
values - A list of values for each specified column.

Returns:

1 if the row exists, 0 if not

Transform a list of ns_sets (e.g. produced by db_list_of_ns_sets) into a multirow datasource.

Switches:

-rows

(required)

Converts a list of values into an array, using a list of corresponding column names for the array keys.

Parameters:

values - A list of values
array_ref - The name of the array to create in the calling frame.
columns - A list of column names to use for the array keys. The length of this list should be the same as the values list. DEPRECATED: as of August 2022 no OpenACS code is using this proc. The operation it implements can be easily achieved via plain Tcl idioms.

Turn a list into an array where each key corresponds to an element of the list... Sort of like a sparse bitmap. Each value corresponds to the key's position in the input list.

Parameters:

values - A list of values
array_ref - The name of the array to create in the calling frame.
