MelisCore's interface designing

Melis Platform is designed by following a recursive array that defines all rendered parts of the interface.
This recursive array can be found here:
/melis-core/config/app.interface.php
All modules that add content to the back office must implement this system and merge their configuration to the ZF2 config.

'plugins' => array(
	'meliscore' => array(
		'interface' => array(
			// First child of the interface with key name meliscore_header
			// This child has an absolute path of /plugins/meliscore/interface/meliscore_header
			'meliscore_header' => array(
				'conf' => array(
					'id' => 'id_meliscore_header',
					// But this child also as a relative path, easier of meliscore_header, also called melisKey
					'melisKey' => 'meliscore_header',
					'name' => 'tr_meliscore_header',
				),
				// Forward: how to generate this part by calling module/controller/action
				// This will also give back JS to be called for initializations
				'forward' => array(
					'module' => 'MelisCore',
					'controller' => 'Index',
					'action' => 'header',
					'jscallback' => '',
					'jsdatas' => array()
				),
				'interface' => array(
					// Continue recursively
				),
			),
		),
	),
),

See Full documentation on modules and interface designing here

Reordering the children of an interface

As configuration between modules are merged with each other in the module's order, it doesn't always correspond to the actual order you'd like to be displayed.
It is possible to define a specific order by creating a key 'interface_ordering' at the root and listing children keys in a specific order:

'interface_ordering' => array(
    // reordering le left pannel of Melis Platform
	'meliscore_leftmenu' => array(
		'meliscore_leftmenu_identity',  // identity zone first
		'meliscore_leftmenu_dashboard', // acces to dashboard second
		'meliscms_sitetree',		// site tree 3rd
		'meliscore_toolstree',		// tools tree 4th
		'meliscore_footer',		// footer last
	),

MelisCore Services

MelisCore provides many services to be used in other modules.
Find them in the folder: /melis-core/src/Service

MelisCoreConfig
This service deals with the interface config files that generates the back-office interface.
All files "/config/app.interface.php" from all modules are merged together to create a big configuration.
This service will then handle it and all the specificities from MelisPlatform.
Access to the configuration only through this service as it will run many scripts (translations, melisKey, etc).
File: /melis-core/src/Service/MelisCoreConfigService.php

// Example 1
// Get the service
$melisAppConfig = $this->getServiceManager()->get('MelisCoreConfig');
// Get the subpart of the config file
$appsConfigCenter = $melisAppConfig->getItem('/meliscore/interface/meliscore_center/');

// Example 2
// Get the service
$melisMelisCoreConfig = $this->getServiceManager()->get('MelisCoreConfig');
// Get a form config, always use getFormMergedAndOrdered
$appConfigForm = $melisMelisCoreConfig->getFormMergedAndOrdered('meliscore/tools/meliscore_logs_tool/forms/meliscore_logs_tool_log_type_form','meliscore_logs_tool_log_type_form');

// Example 3
// Get the service
$melisAppConfig = $this->getServiceManager()->get('MelisCoreConfig');
// Get the "datas" part of the "meliscore" key in the config and, using getItemPerPlatform, select depending on the platform you're on
$datas = $melisAppConfig->getItemPerPlatform('/meliscore/datas');

MelisCoreAuthService
Gets the user's auth and validates authentication, extends ZF AuthenticationService File: /melis-core/src/Service/MelisCoreAuthService.php

// Get the service
$melisCoreAuth = $this->getServiceManager()->get('MelisCoreAuth');  
// check identity
$logged = $melisCoreAuth->hasIdentity()

MelisCoreRights
Get the rights defined for the user and adapt access to the different elements of the interface:
File: /melis-core/src/Service/MelisCoreRightsService.php

// Get the services  
$melisCoreAuth = $this->getServiceManager()->get('MelisCoreAuth');
$melisCoreRights = $this->getServiceManager()->get('MelisCoreRights');
if($melisCoreAuth->hasIdentity())
{
	// Get the user's rights
	$xmlRights = $melisCoreAuth->getAuthRights();
	
	// Check if the user has an exclusion of access to /meliscore_dashboard
	$isAccessible = $melisCoreRights->isAccessible($xmlRights,
							MelisCoreRightsService::MELISCORE_PREFIX_INTERFACE,
							'/meliscore_dashboard');
}

See Full documentation on rights management system here

MelisCoreFlashMessenger
Add logs to flash messenger and get some notifications in the back office

$flashMessenger = $this->getServiceManager()->get('MelisCoreFlashMessenger');
$flashMessenger->addToFlashMessenger('title', 'message', $flashMessenger::WARNING);

MelisCoreBOEmailService
File: /melis-core/src/Service/MelisCoreBOEmailService.php
Add or override emails sent from the back office to send them from your modules and manage them through a tool

// Get the service
$melisEmailBO = $this->getServiceManager()->get('MelisCoreBOEmailService');  
// Send the mail and fills the blanks in the mail (tags), get the language version
$melisEmailBO->sendBoEmailByCode('ACCOUNTCREATION',  $tags, $email_to, $name_to, $langId);

See Full documentation on back-office emails here

MelisCore Forms

Forms factories

All Melis CMS forms are built using Form Factories.
All form configuration are available in the file: /melis-core/config/app.forms.php
Any module can override or add items in this form by building the keys in an array and marge it in the Module.php config creation part.

return array(
	'plugins' => array(
	
		// MelisCms array
		'meliscore' => array(
		
			// Form key
			'forms' => array(
			
				// MelisCore login form
				'meliscore_login' => array(
					'attributes' => array(
						'name' => 'meliscore_login',
						'id' => 'idformmeliscorelogin',
						'method' => 'POST',
					),
					'hydrator'  => 'Laminas\Hydrator\ArraySerializableHydrator',
					'elements' => array(  
						array(
							'spec' => array(
								...
							),
						),
					),
					'input_filter' => array(      
						'usr_login' => array(
							...
						),   
					),
				),
			),
		),
	),
),

Forms elements

MelisCore provides many form elements to be used in forms:

MelisCoreLanguageSelect: a dropdown to select a language of the platform
MelisCoreSiteSelect: a dropdown to select a site
MelisToggleButton: an on-off button designed for Melis Platform
MelisText: a input field

Overriding / Adding / Changing order of the fields

Existing forms can be updated to add new fields by simply declaring the form in your module's config and update the key for your form.
To reuse the previous example, going back to the meliscore_login key, then adding new fields, eventually merged all together:

return array(
	'plugins' => array(
		// MelisCms array
		'meliscore' => array(
			// Form key
			'forms' => array(
				// MelisCore login form
				'meliscore_login' => array(
					'elements' => array(  
					),
					'input_filter' => array(     
					),

At some point, it could be a nessecity to reorder the fields for a specific project.
Declare a key 'forms_ordering' and a subkey nammed like the form.
Then just place existing elements in the order needed. No need to place all of them, start with what is reordered and stop when it's finished, other existing form elements will automatically be added at the end.

return array(
	// key at the root for listing forms' order modifications
	'forms_ordering' => array(
   
		// change the order of the MelisCore email management form tool.
		'meliscore_emails_mngt_tool_general_properties_form' => array(
			'elements' => array(
				// Name will now be first
				array(
					'spec' => array(
						'name' => 'boe_code_name',
					),
				),
				// "From" email will be second
				array(
					'spec' => array(
						'name' => 'boe_from_email',
					),
				),
               
				// Rest of the form's field will come in order after
			),
		),
	),
);

MelisCoreConfig Service provides a method called getFormMergedAndOrdered that will get the form and give it back reordered:

// Get the service
$melisMelisCoreConfig = $this->getServiceManager()->get('MelisCoreConfig');
// Get a form config, always use getFormMergedAndOrdered
$appConfigForm = $melisMelisCoreConfig->getFormMergedAndOrdered('meliscore/tools/meliscore_logs_tool/forms/meliscore_logs_tool_log_type_form','meliscore_logs_tool_log_type_form');

Listening to services and update behavior with custom code

Most services trigger events so that the behavior can be modified.

public function attach(EventManagerInterface $events)
{
	$sharedEvents = $events->getSharedManager();

	$callBackHandler = $sharedEvents->attach(
		'MelisCore',
		array(
			'meliscore_tooluser_save_end', 
		),
		function($e){

			$sm = $e->getTarget()->getEvent()->getApplication()->getServiceManager();
    		
    		// custom code
    	},
    100);
    
    $this->listeners[] = $callBackHandler;
}

GDPR Tool

MelisCore provides a system to look for your user's data. By allowing other modules to plug / interact with it, and allow to see, extract, and delete the user's data.

Events:

melis_core_gdpr_user_info_event : This event will trigger after searching a user. Modules that are listening to this event will send back the data they have on the user or it will stay silent if there are none.

melis_core_gdpr_user_extract_event : This event will trigger when the button "Extract Selected" button is clicked, Modules will then format and send back whatever they have for the items selected.

melis_core_gdpr_user_delete_event : This event will trigger when the "Delete Selected" button is clicked. The items that are selected will then be deleted or updated by their respective modules.

Listening to the Events :

melis_core_gdpr_user_info_event
The parameter of this event is the form inputs.

[
    'search' => [
      'user_name'  => 'Doe',
      'user_email' => 'john@doe.com,
      'site'       => 2 //siteId,
      etc ..,
    ],
]

You can have your own logic for this event as long as you will follow this structure for the value that will be returned.

[
    'results' => [
      'MelisCmsProspects' => [...],
      'MelisCmsNewsletters' => [...],
      'YourModule' => [...],
    ]
]

[
    'results' => [
        'YourModule' => [                   
            'icon' => '...', //icon that will be displayed
            'moduleName' => 'YourModule', //text that will be displayed
            'values' => [
            ...
            ],
        ],
    ],
]

'values' => [
    'columns' => [
        //IDs and checkbox will be provided already in the table
        'name' => [
           'id' => 'meliscmsprospects_col_name',
           'text' => 'Name'
        ],
        'email' => [
           'id' => 'meliscmsprospects_col_email',
           'text' => 'Email'
        ],
        'date' => [
           'id' => 'meliscmsprospects_col_date',
           'text' => 'Date'
        ],
    ],
    'datas' => [
        //The keys are the IDs of the items (13, 15)
        '13' => [
           'name' => 'Doe',
           'email' => 'Doe@John.com'
           'date' => 11/13/2017 13:13:00
        ],
        '15' => [
           'name' => 'Doe',
           'email' => 'Doe@John2.com'
           'date' => 11/15/2017 15:15:00
        ],
    ],
]

The columns index is the columns that will be shown in the table. while the datas index is the rows on the table.

melis_core_gdpr_user_extract_event
The parameter of this event are the modules containing the selected ids that will be extracted.

[
    'selected' => [
      'MelisCmsProspects'  => [13,15],
      'MelisCmsNewsletter' => [2],
    ]
]

The modules that will catch the event will then provide their own results using this structure.

[
    'results' => [
      'MelisCmsProspects'  => '<xml><MelisCmsProspects>...</MelisCmsProspects></xml>',
      'MelisCmsNewsletter' => '<xml><MelisCmsNewsletter>...</MelisCmsNewsletter></xml>',
      'yourModule' => '<xml>...</xml>';
    ],
]

melis_core_gdpr_user_delete_event
The parameter of this event are the list of modules containing all the Ids that are selected.

[
    'selected' => [
        'MelisCmsProspects'  => [13,15],
        'MelisCmsNewsletter' => '[2],
    ],
]

The modules that will catch the event will then return an acknowledgement message if the items are succesfully deleted.

[
    'results' => [
        'MelisCmsProspects'  => true,
        'MelisCmsNewsletter' => true,
    ],  
]

Javascript helpers provided with MelisCore

Melis Helpers

Most helpers are located in the file:
/melis-core/public/js/core/melisHelper.js

See Full documentation on Melis JS helpers here

TinyMCE and configurations

MelisCore brings TinyMCE as its editor and has one configuration.
TinyMCE helper is located here:
/melis-core/public/js/tinyMCE/melis_tinymce.js

// Creating a tinyMCE zone with config "tool" on the selected item and overriding some parameters from conf
melisTinyMCE.createTinyMCE("tool", selector, {height: 200, relative_urls: false});

Configurations:

tool: the default config for tools that use html editor
Creating other config is possible. Add the config in a file then declare the file in the module.config.php file of the module:

// Config Files  
'tinyMCE' => array(  
	'html' => 'MelisCore/public/js/tinyMCE/tool.php',  
),

See Full documentation on TinyMCE and Melis Platform here

####Cache and Bundle Cache

Caching system is already applied in Melis platform BO, particularly in leftmenu, dashboard, dashboard plugins menu and front plugins menu.
Clearing the cache will be done automatically by updating the user or updating the modules in module tool.
You can also disable the caching system inside platform tool.

Bundle

Melis platform improved its bundling system by loading one file instead of every file in each module.
You can re-bundle all assets inside the Module tool.
To disable/enable bundle per platform, you can override it inside the MelisModuleConfig interface:

'development' => [
    'build_bundle' => false,
],
'preprod' => [
    'build_bundle' => true,
],
'prod' => [
    'build_bundle' => true,
]
