Acts as Statemachine Plugin =================================== This plugin is inspired by: http://elitists.textdriven.com/svn/plugins/acts_as_state_machine/trunk Allows definition of states and transition between states. Ideal for generating workflows. Usage Examples ---------------- class Order extends ActiveRecord { var $acts_as = array('statemachine'=>array('initial'=>'openend', 'states'=>array('opened', 'closed'=>array('enter'=>'sendEmail'), 'returned'))); function close() { $this->transition('opened','closed'); } function returnOrder() { $this->transition('closed','returned'); } function sendEmail() { Mailer::sendNotice($this); } } Will take the value of $myModel->name and generate $myModel->slug. class MyModel extends ActiveRecord { var $acts_as = array('sluggable'=>array('slug_source'=>'getSlugName','slug_target'=>'slug')); function getSlugName() { return $this->name.' '.$this->number; } } $order = new Order(); $order->close(); // notice is sent by mailer $order->returnOrder(); Installation -------------------------------- ./script/plugin install acts_as_statemachine Credits ------- Inspired by: http://elitists.textdriven.com/svn/plugins/acts_as_state_machine/trunk Future -------- See TODO file to know what will be implemented into future versions of this plugin.
