RT::Article

Create PARAMHASH

Create takes a hash of values and creates a row in the database:

  varchar(200) 'Name'.
  varchar(200) 'Summary'.
  int(11) 'Content'.
  Class ID  'Class'

  A paramhash called  'CustomFields', which contains 
  arrays of values for each custom field you want to fill in.
  Arrays aRe ordered.

ValidateName NAME

Takes a name (string, required) and an optional class id. Returns true if that name is not in use by another article of that class.

If no class is supplied and the class can't be derived from the article object, returns true if that name isn't used by any other article at all.

Delete

This does not remove from the database; it merely sets the Disabled bit.

Returns an RT::Articles object which contains all articles which have this article as their parent. This routine will not recurse and will not find grandchildren, great-grandchildren, uncles, aunts, nephews or any other such thing.

AddLink

Takes a paramhash of Type and one of Base or Target. Adds that link to this article.

Prevents the use of plain numbers to avoid confusing behaviour.

URIObj

Returns this article's URI

CurrentUserCanSee

Returns true if the current user can see the article, using ShowArticle

_Set { Field => undef, Value => undef

Internal helper method to record a transaction as we update some core field of the article

SetClass CLASS

Set the class for this article.

SetName NAME

Set Name for this article.

_Value PARAM

Return "PARAM" for this object. if the current user doesn't have rights, returns undef

LoadByInclude Field Value

Takes the name of a form field from "Include Article" and the value submitted by the browser and attempts to load an Article.

This handles Articles included by searching, by the Name and via the hotlist.

If you optionaly pass an id as the Queue argument, this will check that the Article's Class is applied to that Queue.

LoadByNameAndClass

Loads the requested article from the provided class. If found, it is loaded into the current object.

Article names must be unique within a class, but can be duplicated across different classes. This method is helpful for loading the correct article by name if a name might be duplicated in different classes.

Takes a hash with the keys:

Name: An RT::Article ID or Name.
Class: An RT::Class ID or Name.
