OpenGuides - A complete web application for managing a collaboratively-written guide to a city or town.
The OpenGuides software provides the framework for a collaboratively-written city guide. It is similar to a wiki but provides somewhat more structured data storage allowing you to annotate wiki pages with information such as category, location, and much more. It provides searching facilities including "find me everything within a certain distance of this place". Every page includes a link to a machine-readable (RDF) version of the page.
my $guide = OpenGuides->new( config => $config );
An accessor, returns the underlying CGI::Wiki object.
An accessor, returns the underlying Config::Tiny object.
An accessor, returns the underlying CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Locator::UK object.
An accessor, returns the underlying CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Diff object.
# Print node to STDOUT. $guide->display_node( id => "Calthorpe Arms", version => 2, ); # Or return output as a string (useful for writing tests). $guide->display_node( id => "Calthorpe Arms", return_output => 1, ); # Or return the hash of variables that will be passed to the template # (not including those set additionally by OpenGuides::Template). $guide->display_node( id => "Calthorpe Arms", return_tt_vars => 1, );
If version is omitted then the latest version will be displayed.
version
$guide->display_diffs( id => "Home Page", version => 6, other_version => 5, ); # Or return output as a string (useful for writing tests). my $output = $guide->display_diffs( id => "Home Page", version => 6, other_version => 5, return_output => 1, ); # Or return the hash of variables that will be passed to the template # (not including those set additionally by OpenGuides::Template). my %vars = $guide->display_diffs( id => "Home Page", version => 6, other_version => 5, return_tt_vars => 1, );
$guide->find_within_distance( id => $node, metres => $q->param("distance_in_metres") );
$guide->show_index( type => "category", value => "pubs", ); # RDF version. $guide->show_index( type => "locale", value => "Holborn", format => "rdf", ); # Or return output as a string (useful for writing tests). $guide->show_index( type => "category", value => "pubs", return_output => 1, );
$guide->list_all_versions ( id => "Home Page" ); # Or return output as a string (useful for writing tests). $guide->list_all_versions ( id => "Home Page", return_output => 1, ); # Or return the hash of variables that will be passed to the template # (not including those set additionally by OpenGuides::Template). $guide->list_all_versions ( id => "Home Page", return_tt_vars => 1, );
$guide->commit_node( id => $node, cgi_obj => $q, );
As with other methods, parameters return_tt_vars and return_output can be used to return these things instead of printing the output to STDOUT.
return_tt_vars
return_output
$guide->delete_node( id => "FAQ", version => 15, password => "beer", );
version is optional - if it isn't supplied then all versions of the node will be deleted; in other words the node will be entirely removed.
If password is not supplied then a form for entering the password will be displayed.
password
At the moment, the location data uses a United-Kingdom-specific module, so the location features might not work so well outside the UK.
