NAME

Rubric::User - a Rubric user

VERSION

version 0.157

DESCRIPTION

This class provides an interface to Rubric users. It inherits from Rubric::DBI, which is a Class::DBI class.

PERL VERSION

This code is effectively abandonware. Although releases will sometimes be made to update contact info or to fix packaging flaws, bug reports will mostly be ignored. Feature requests are even more likely to be ignored. (If someone takes up maintenance of this code, they will presumably remove this notice.) This means that whatever version of perl is currently required is unlikely to change -- but also that it might change at any new maintainer's whim.

COLUMNS

 username - the user's login name
 password - the hex md5sum of the user's password
 email    - the user's email address
 created  - the user's date of registration

 verification_code - the code sent to the user for verification
                     NULL if verified

RELATIONSHIPS

entries

Every user has_many entries, which are Rubric::Entry objects. They can be retrieved with the entries accessor, as usual.

tags

A user has as "his" tags all the tags that occur on his entries. There exist a number of accessors for his tag list.

tags

This returns an arrayref of all the user's (non-system) tags in their database colation order.

tags_counted

This returns an arrayref of arrayrefs, each containing a tag name and the number of entries tagged with that tag. The pairs are sorted in colation order by tag name.

This method returns a reference to an array of tags related to all the given tags. Tags are related if they occur together on entries.

This is the obvious conjunction of related_tags and tags_counted. It returns an arrayref of arrayrefs, each a pair of tag/occurance values.

INFLATIONS

created

The created column is stored as seconds since epoch, but inflated to Time::Piece objects.

METHODS

quick_entry(\%entry)

This method creates or updates an entry for the user. The passed entry should include the following data:

 uri         - the URI for the entry
 tags        - the tags for the entry, as a space delimited string
 title       - the title for the entry
 description - the description for the entry
 body        - the body for the entry

If an entry for the link exists, it is updated. Existing tags are replaced with the new tags. If no entry exists, the Rubric::Link is created if needed, and a new entry is then created.

The Rubric::Entry object is returned.

verify($code)

If the given code matches this user's verification_code, the user will be verified; that is, his verification_code will be undefined.

reset_password($code)

If the given code matches this user's reset_code, the user's password will be reset via randomize_password and his reset code will be undefined. If successful, the new password is returned. Otherwise, the routine returns false.

randomize_password

This method resets the user's password to a pseudo-random string and returns the new password.

randomize_reset_code

This method resets the user's reset code to the md5sum of a pseudo-random string.

randomize_verification_code

This method resets the user's verification code to the md5sum of a pseudo-random string.
