NAME
Net::Lujoyglamour::WebApp - Use URL shortener from the web
SYNOPSIS
use Net::Lujoyglamour;
my $app = new Net::Lujoyglamour::WebApp
PARAMS => { dsn => $dsn},
TMPL_PATH => '/luxury/path/to/templates';
$app->run();
If you want this to work as an URL redirector, you'll have to first have mod_rewrite activated, and then write something like this in your .htaccess RewriteEngine on Options +FollowSymlinks DirectoryIndex /cgi-bin/lg/lg.cgi RewriteRule ^(\w+)$ /cgi-bin/lg/lg.cgi?rm=redirect&url=$1
Change, ofcourse, that path to the path your CGI resides.
DESCRIPTION
Configure a CGI::Application module for using Net::Lujoyglamour from the web.
INTERFACE
Mostly intended for using internally; only thing you need to know is run
and new
; however, here's the skinny
new( PARAMS => { dsn => $dsn }, TMPL_PATH => '/More/glamourous/templates' )
The DSN must point to a working database, and the templates to a directory containing form.html
and geturl.html
templates. Examples can be found in the distribution, and you can create your own taking into account that:
geturl.html
must include all the HTML::Template commands, which will be substituted by variables or an error message
run
Start to run the web loop
The rest are included mostly to avoid complains from pod-coverage
cgiapp_init
Called internally from new
to inialize DB and whatever is needed for the application
get_url
Called from the geturl
runmode to obtain a new short URL
redirect_url
Called from the redirect
runmode to retrieve a short URL from the DB and redirect it
setup
Setting up run modes
show_form
Shows the form to obtain a new URL
DIAGNOSTICS
See Net::Lujoyglamour for errors
CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
See above; don't forget to configure a database and the two templates mentioned above.
DEPENDENCIES
CGI::Application dependencies, plus CGI::Application::Plugin::DBIx::Class used for integration with DBIx::Class and CGI::Application::Plugin::Redirect redirection.
INCOMPATIBILITIES
None reported.
