From Platform Documentation
PreambleThis documentation may link to resources available for end users (end user, administrator manuals). The primary audience for this site is developers who wish to develop applications based on XOMBO.ORG Platform or adapting existing products to your own needs. The goal is that the developer will have a complete understanding of how to safely and easily create code compatible with XOMBO.ORG Platform. For quick overviews of the technologies powering XOMBO.ORG Platform and some of its innovative features, read the articles in the Technical Documentation section. If you are an end-user, you will be best served by the XOMBO Knowledge Base or the documentation for your specific application. If you are an existing developer, you may want the API Documentation. It gets rebuilt from the nightly dev copy and current-release builds' comments, so it will always be the most up-to-date reference. |

Components see all...
Model – Database connectivity or storage method. Usually, the DBObject master class interacts with a model object in a generic sense to achieve cross-database engine compatibility. Most developers won't have to worry about this unless they're deploying on an unsupported database engine like PostgreSQL or Oracle. Most database engines can be supplemented with Memcache to improve performance. (ex: ./model/dbconn.class.php)
View – Visual presentation that extends ViewObject, combines multiple control objects and user-submitted data into a cohesive space. (ex: ./view/template.view.php)
Control – Objects that represent data entries in a model. Usually you have a control object for each table in the database or each distinct record type. A control usually extends DBObject. They also hold functions related to the object they describe for manipulating and calculating values or executing a particular task.(ex: ./control/template.obj.php)

Theme Engine see all...
The XOMBO.ORG Platform Theme Engine effectively provides a barrier between the design staff and the operative source to allow for safe modifications to the theme without changing the underlying code. The template rendering functionality fits into the rest of the application by executing view-specific code, wrapping it in the appropriate theme, then parsing it for any recognized tags. This heightened flexibility allows for programmatic page modifications & easy localization.
Platform Developers see all...
These are articles for people who are developing on the core XOMBO.ORG Platform codebase. Typically, these people will have commit status to XOMBO.ORG Platform's central SVN repository and their changes are included in future release versions.
