How do I add a page to a module?

I have an Aparna-generated module called agTask, so the item_index page url is domain.com/profile/task/. It's an index of Task items, of course. I'd like to add pages with different lists of tasks like domain.com/profile/task/invoiced.

How do I do this?

Do something similar to profile_view_jrBlog_default in your agTask profile.php

Instead of checking $_post['_1'] for 'category', check for 'invoiced' and serve up your view.

Thanks, Steve. What's the method for creating a profile.php file for a module that doesn't have one?

Copy it from jrBlog and change the names to agTask?

Are there any config settings in include.php or anything in index.php, etc. that need to be set?

No - if the core sees profile.php it basically "hands over" routing of that module's profile pages to the script.

Hope this helps!

These 2 youtube vids might help:
Add a section to the profiles (Jamroom CMS Development)
Jamroom 5 CMS: adding to the profiles


If you add a file at:
agTask/templates/index.tpl

That will show up at
site.com/task

What you want to do is create a view in the profile.php file.

You can do that by using the default view function name:
function profile_view_agTask_default($_profile,$_post,$_user,$_conf)
{
//..... do something
}

check out how the jrBlog/profile.php file looks for an example of it.

OR You can specifically define views to map to urls

function profile_view_agTask_invoiced($_profile,$_post,$_user,$_conf)
{
//..... do something
}

the default one will map to
domain.com/profile/task/
the second one will map to
domain.com/profile/task/invoiced

but you could use the first one to handle invioced if you wanted to too. The 'invoiced' will be in the $_post var.

OK, cool. So now I'm using task/invoiced to list items invoiced during a month which is passed like http://domain.com/profile_name/task/invoiced?month=April

Is there a different way of specifying that url, like http://domain.com/profile_name/task/invoiced/month/April? That doesn't work, but I'm just wondering if there's a different way you like to do it in jr5.

You'd just check the $_post as normal.

So you could use
if ($_post['month'] == "April") {
// do this...
// your code here:
}

Or check for $_post['_1'], $_post['_2'] etc.

Check out the docs on reading the post if you havent read them already:

Allright, so /task/invoiced/month=March works.

One more thing. Can I create other file types from the profile? I'd like to do something like this to create a csv file the client can download:
function profile_view_agTask_March($_profile,$_post,$_user,$_conf)
{
    return jrCore_parse_template('March.tpl',$_profile,'agTask');
}
I can't use "March.csv" there, evidently. I do have March.tpl creating the data fine, but it comes out with a profile header and footer I don't want, naturally. Is there a jrCore_parse_file function or something?

if you use "/task/invoiced/month=March" then $_post['month'] will equal 'March' but if you want to keep it clean

/task/invoiced/March


$_post['option']
$_post['_1']
$_post['_2']
$_post['_3']

one of those above will also equal march. not sure which, so you'd need to check.

--edit--
as for the file export, look in the jrChainedSelect module it has a way to export and import a .csv file
function view_jrChainedSelect_export()
//.... get the data ready

    header("Content-type: text/csv");
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"ChainedSelect_{$_rt['set_name']}.csv\"");
    asort($_r1);
    $out = implode("\n", $_r1);
    echo $out;
