The preferences UI is completely auto-generated
<?php
// Preference groups look like this:
$prefGroups['display'] = array(
'column' => _("Other Options"),
'label' => _("Display Options"),
'desc' => _("Change display options."),
'members' => array('sortby', 'sortdir', 'max_msgs', 'num_words',
'nav_expanded'));
// Individual preferences look like this:
$_prefs['fullname'] = array('value' => '',
'locked' => false,
'shared' => true,
'type' => 'text',
'desc' => _("Your full name:"));
?>
- Preference types are: text, textarea, select, enum, number, checkbox, link, implicit, and special.
- Implicit preferences do not appear in the UI by themselves; they are set other places.
- Links are not preferences; they just provide a link to somewhere else from the preference UI.
- Special preferences are preferences that need special logic or UI, and they are handled specially by the application.
- A special preference is just something that shows up in the UI; it will not be stored. Implicit preferences should be used for the values that a special preference needs to store.
