=head1 DESCRIPTION

Ace::Browser::AceSubs exports a set of routines that are useful for
creating search pages and displays for AceBrowser CGI pages. See
http://stein.cshl.org/AcePerl/AceBrowser.

The following subroutines are exported by default:

  AceError
  AceMissing
  AceNotFound
  Configuration
  DoRedirect
  GetAceObject
  Object2URL
  ObjectLink
  OpenDatabase
  PrintTop
  PrintBottom
  Url

The following subroutines are exported if explicitly requested:

  AceAddCookie
  AceInit
  AceHeader
  AceMultipleChoices
  AceRedirect
  DB_Name
  Footer
  Header
  ResolveUrl
  Style
  Toggle
  TypeSelector

To load the default subroutines load the module with:

   use Ace::Browser::AceSubs;

To bring in a set of optionally routines, load the module with:

   use Ace::Browser::AceSubs qw(AceInit AceRedirect);

To bring in all the default subroutines, plus some of the optional
ones:

   use Ace::Browser::AceSubs qw(:DEFAULT AceInit AceRedirect);

There are two main types of AceBrowser scripts:

=over 4

=item display scripts

These are called with the CGI parameters b<name> and b<class>,
corresponding to the name and class of an AceDB object to display.
The subroutine GetAceObject() will return the requested object, or
undef if the object does not exist.

To retrieve the parameters, use the CGI.pm param() method:

  $name  = param('name');
  $class = param('class');


=item search scripts

These are not called with any CGI parameters on their first
invocation, but can define their own parameter lists by creating
fill-out forms.  The AceBrowser system remembers the last search
performed by a search script in a cookie and regenerates the CGI
parameters the next time the user selects that search script.

=item AceInit()

This subroutine initializes the AcePerl connection to the configured
database.  If the database cannot be opened, it generates an error
message and exits.  This subroutine is not exported by default, but is 
called by PrintTop() and Header() internally.

=cut

# Subroutines used by all scripts.
# Will generate an HTTP 'document not found' error if you try to get an 
# undefined database name.  Check the return code from this function and
# return immediately if not true (actually, not needed because we exit).
sub AceInit   {
  $HEADER   = 0;
  $TOP      = 0;
  @COOKIES  = ();

        p('The requested database',i(get_symbolic()),'is not recognized',
	  'by this server.');

  print end_html;
  Apache::exit(0) if defined &Apache::exit;  # bug out of here!
  exit(0);
}

=item AceMissing([$class,$name])

This subroutine will print out an error message indicating that an
object is present in AceDB, but that the information the user
requested is absent. It will then exit the script. This is
infrequently encountered when following XREFed objects. If the class
and name of the object are not provided as arguments, they are taken
from CGI's param() function.

=cut

sub AceMissing {
    my ($class,$name) = @_;
    $class ||= param('class');
    $name  ||= param('name');
    PrintTop(undef,undef,$name);
    print strong('There is no further information about this object in the database.');
    PrintBottom();
    Apache->exit(0) if defined &Apache::exit;
    exit(0);
}

=item AceMultipleChoices($symbol,$report,$objects)

This function is called when a search has recovered multiple objects
and the user must make a choice among them.  The user is presented
with an ordered list of the objects, and asked to click on one of
them.

The three arguements are:

   $symbol   The keyword or query string the user was searching
             on, undef if none.

   $report   The symbolic name of the current display, or undef
	     if none.

   $objects  An array reference containing the Ace objects in
	     question.

This subroutine is not exported by default.

=cut

sub AceMultipleChoices {
  my ($symbol,$report,$objects) = @_;
  if ($objects && @$objects == 1) {

Example:

  my $author = $db->fetch(Author => 'Sulston JE');
  print ObjectLink($author,$author->Full_name);

This will print out a link to a page that will display details on the
author page.  The text of the link will be the value of the Full_name
tag.

=cut

sub ObjectLink {
  my $object     = shift;
  my $link_text  = shift;
  my $target     = shift;
  my $url = Object2URL($object,@_) or return ($link_text || "$object");
  my @targ = $target ? (-target=>$target) : ();
  return a({-href=>Object2URL($object,@_),-name=>"$object",@targ},($link_text || "$object"));
}

=item $db = OpenDatabase()

This function opens the Acedb database designated by the configuration
file.  In modperl environments, this function caches database handles
and reuses them, pinging and reopening them in the case of timeouts.

This function is not exported by default.

=cut

use Carp 'cluck';

################ open a database #################
sub OpenDatabase {
  my $name = shift || get_symbolic();

  $DB{$name} = Ace->connect(-host=>$host,-port=>$port,-timeout=>50,@auth,@cache);
  return $DB{$name};
}

=item PrintTop($object,$class,$title,@html_headers)

The PrintTop() function generates all the boilerplate at the top of a
typical AceBrowser page, including the HTTP header information, the
page title, the navigation bar for searches, the web site banner, the
type selector for choosing alternative displays, and a level-one
header.

Call it with one or more arguments.  The arguments are:

  $object    An AceDB object.  The navigation bar and title will be
	     customized for the object.

  $class     If no AceDB object is available, then you can pass 
	     a string containing the AceDB class that this page is
	     designed to display.

  $title     A title to use for the HTML page and the first level-one
	     header.  If not provided, a generic title "Report for
	     Object" is generated.

  @html_headers  Additional HTML headers to pass to the the CGI.pm
             start_html. 
	

=cut

# boilerplate for the top of the page
sub PrintTop {
  my ($object,$class,$title,@additional_header_stuff) = @_;
  return if $TOP++;
  $class = $object->class if defined $object && ref($object);
  $class ||= param('class') unless defined($title);
  AceHeader();
  $title ||= defined($object) ? "$class Report for: $object" : $class ? "$class Report" : ''
    unless defined($title);
  print start_html (
                    '-Title'   => $title,
                    '-Style'   => Style(),
                    @additional_header_stuff,
                    );
  print Header();
  print TypeSelector($object,$class) if defined $object;
  print h1($title) if $title;
}

=item PrintBottom()

The PrintBottom() function outputs all the boilerplate at the bottom
of a typical AceBrowser page.  If a user-defined footer is present in
the configuration file, that is printed.  Otherwise, the method prints 
a horizontal rule followed by links to the site home page, the AcePerl 
home page, the privacy policy, and the feedback page.

=cut

sub PrintBottom {
  print hr,Footer(),end_html();
}


=item $hashref = Style()

This subroutine returns a hashref containing a reference to the
configured stylesheet, in the following format:

collapsed.

In a list context, Toggle() returns a two-element list.  The first
element is the HTML link that expands and contracts the section.  The
second element is a boolean that indicates whether the section is
currently open or closed.

This example indicates typical usage:

  my $sequence = GetAceObject();
  print "sequence name = ",$sequence,"\n";
  print "sequence clone = ",$sequence->Clone,"\n";
  if (Toggle('dna','Sequence DNA')) {
      print $sequence->asDNA;
  }

An alternative way to do the same thing:

  my $sequence = GetAceObject();
  print "sequence name = ",$sequence,"\n";
  print "sequence clone = ",$sequence->Clone,"\n";
  my ($link,$open) = Toggle('dna','Sequence DNA');
  print $link;
  print $sequence->asDNA if $open;

=cut

# Toggle a subsection open and close
sub Toggle {
    my ($section,$label,$count,$addplural,$addcount,$max_open) = @_;
    $OPEN{$section}++ if defined($max_open) && $count <= $max_open;

    my %open = %OPEN;
    $label ||= $section;
    my $img;
    if (exists $open{$section}) {
	delete $open{$section};
	$img =  img({-src=>'/ico/triangle_down.gif',-alt=>'^',
			-height=>6,-width=>11,-border=>0}),
    } else {
	$open{$section}++;
	$img =  img({-src=>'/ico/triangle_right.gif',-alt=>'&gt;',
			-height=>11,-width=>6,-border=>0}),
	my $plural = ($addplural and $label !~ /s$/) ? "${label}s" : "$label";
	$label = font({-class=>'toggle'},!$addcount ? $plural : "$count $plural");
    }
    param(-name=>'open',-value=>join(' ',keys %open));
    my $url = url(-absolute=>1,-path_info=>1,-query=>1);

    my $link = a({-href=>"$url#$section",-name=>$section},$img.'&nbsp;'.$label);
    if (wantarray ){
      return ($link,$OPEN{$section})
    } else {
      print $link,br;
      return $OPEN{$section};
    }
}

=item $html = TypeSelector($name,$class)

This subroutine generates the HTML for the type selector navigation
bar.  The links in the bar are dynamically generated based on the
values of $name and $class.  This function is called by PrintTop().
It is not exported by default.

=cut

# Choose a set of displayers based on the type.
sub TypeSelector {
    my ($name,$class) = @_;
    return unless $class;

    my ($n,$c) = (escape("$name"),escape($class));
    my @rows;

    # add the special displays
    my @displays       = Configuration()->class2displays($class,$name);
    my @basic_displays = Configuration()->class2displays('default');
    @basic_displays    = Ace::Browser::SiteDefs->getConfig(DEFAULT_DATABASE)->class2displays('default') 
      unless @basic_displays;

    my $display = url(-absolute=>1,-path=>1);

    foreach (@displays,@basic_displays) {
 	my ($url,$icon,$label) = @{$_}{qw/url icon label/};
	next unless $url;
	my $u = ResolveUrl($url,"name=$n;class=$c");
	($url = $u) =~ s/[?\#].*$//;

	my $active = $url =~ /^$display/;
	my $cell;
	unless ($active) {
	  $cell = defined $icon ? a({-href=>$u,-target=>'_top'},
				    img({-src=>$icon,-border=>0}).br().$label)
				: a({-href=>$u,-target=>'_top'},$label);
	} else {
	  $cell = defined $icon ? img({-src=>$icon,-border=>0}).br().font({-color=>'red'},$label)
				: font({-color=>'red'},$label);
	}

	}
    return table({-width=>'100%',-border=>0,-class=>'searchtitle'},
		 TR({-valign=>'bottom'},@rows));
}

=item $url = Url($display,$params)

Given a symbolic display name, such as "tree" and a set of parameters, 
this function looks up its URL and then calls ResolveUrl() to create a 
single Url.

When hard-coding relative URLs into AceBrowser scripts, it is
important to pass them through Url().  The reason for this is that
AceBrowser may need to attach the database name to the URL in order to
identify it.

Example:

  my $url = Url('../sequence_dump',"name=$name;long_dump=yes");
  print a({-href=>$url},'Dump this sequence');

=cut

sub Url {
  my ($display,$parameters) = @_;
  my $url = Configuration()->display($display,'url');
  return ResolveUrl($url,$parameters);
}
