DESCRIPTION

CatalystX::CMS::Action isa Catalyst::Action class that handles all the template management. It is typically accessed via a subclass of CatalystX::CMS::Controller.

METHODS

Only new or overridden method are documented here.

new([ cms => CatalystX::CMS->new ])

Overrides new() method to call next::method() and then instantiate a CatalystX::CMS object.

You can pass in a cms key/value pair. The value should be an object that conforms to the CatalystX::CMS API.

execute( args )

Checks for the presence the cxcms request parameter. If present and true, calls the cms() method instead of the action's target method.

do_cms( controller, c, arg )

The primary engine of the CMS. Called via execute() if the cxcms param is true.

Possible values for the cxcms parameter:

• create

• edit

• cancel

• save

• preview

• diff

• history

• blame

See the documentation for CatalystX::CMS for the method name matching the cxcms value.

get_http_method

Works just like the http_method in CatalystX::CRUD::REST. Returns the request method, deferring to the x-tunneled-method or _http_method params if present.
