:) New Midgard php extension which will appear on scene with Scriptor work
will be smaller and possibility to integrate it into PHP sources will be
higher but personally I do not see this as a high priority item. We can
(and definitely was doing this happily) live with our own CVS. Besides
extension sizes there were also valid points about timelines for versions'
correlation of both products which are not easily solvable even if both
sides will be helpful in other parts of development.
First bits of Scriptor's object model are in CVS now, under
/midgard/scriptor module. It is possible to start work on extension on
those 21 supported Midgard objects' classes though some interfaces might
go through set of changes -- I'm trying to find more convenient and
natural way to work with those objects. Current state is pretty good and
easy to use so far:
# Create connection to Midgard database
mgd = Midgard::Core.new(username, password)
article = mgd.make(:Article, 1) # creates an object which points to
# article with id = 1
puts article.guid # displays GUID of article
article.get # fetches whole object of database
# Count number of lines in the article
number_of_lines = 0
article['content'].each {|line| number_of_lines = number_of_lines + 1}
# Print article title and number of lines of its content
puts "Article '#{article['title']}' is #{number_of_lines} line(s) long"
