RT::CustomFieldValues::Canonicalizer
NAME
RT::CustomFieldValues::Canonicalizer - base class for custom field value canonicalizers
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
This class is the base class for custom field value canonicalizers. To implement a new canonicalizer, you must create a new class that subclasses this class. Your subclass must implement the method "CanonicalizeValue" as documented below. You should also implement the method "Description" which is the label shown to users. Finally, add the new class name to "@CustomFieldValuesCanonicalizers" in RT_Config.
See RT::CustomFieldValues::Canonicalizer::Uppercase for a complete example.
new
The object constructor takes one argument: RT::CurrentUser object.
CanonicalizeValue
Receives a parameter hash including CustomField
(an RT::CustomField object) and Content
(a string of user-provided content).
You may also access $self->CurrentUser
in case you need the user's language or locale.
This method is expected to return the canonicalized Content
.
Description
A class method that returns the human-friendly name for this canonicalizer which appears in the admin UI. By default it is the class name, which is not so human friendly. You should override this in your subclass.
