How to create a new %Parley script (full example)

* * Each %Parley script must be accompanied by a .desktop file, both put in the plugins folder in parley data directory (usually in /usr/share/apps/parley/plugins/). In this example the desktop file is "example.desktop" and the script file is "example.py". * * The desktop file provides information about the script's functionality, author and specifies the script file that implements it. This information will appear in the Scripts Manager (Scripts->Script Manager in main menu) and the user will be able to enable/disable the script. If the script is enabled then it'll be loaded every time Parley starts up. * * Content of example.desktop (/usr/share/apps/parley/plugins/example.desktop) * @code [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Icon=mypluginicon Type=Service ServiceTypes=KPluginInfo Name=Example Parley Script Comment=This Script offers two actions: 1) Move to new lesson 2) Mark as known for the Scripts menu Script=example.py X-KDE-PluginInfo-Author=Avgoustinos Kadis X-KDE-PluginInfo-Email=avgoustinos.kadis@kdemail.net X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name=parley_example_script X-KDE-PluginInfo-Version=1.1 X-KDE-PluginInfo-Website=http://edu.kde.org/parley X-KDE-PluginInfo-Category=examples X-KDE-PluginInfo-License=GPL X-KDE-PluginInfo-EnabledByDefault=true @endcode * * The script file will contain the functions (script functionality) and some code for creating an action for the Scripts menu. In the example below, the functions are moveSelectedToNewLesson() and markAsKnown() and they are called by the two actions that are added to the scripts menu (action1 and action2). * * When the script file is loaded all the global code (outside of any function) is executed. This way we can register the Scripts menu actions and connect them with script functions (see example below for how to do this). * * Another way to have a function called is by connecting it to a %Parley signal (see Parley::translateWord() and the example in Detailed Description of the Parley class). * * Content of example.py (/usr/share/apps/parley/plugins/example.py) @code #!/usr/bin/env kross import Parley #FUNCTIONS #moves selected entries to a new lesson def moveSelectedToNewLesson(): selected_entries = Parley.selectedEntries() if len(selected_entries) > 0: newlesson = Parley.doc.appendNewLesson("New Lesson") for entry in selected_entries: newlesson.appendEntry(entry) #marks the selected translations as known (grade 7) def markAsKnown(): for tr in Parley.selectedTranslations(): tr.grade = 7 #SCRIPT MENU #create a new action for the Scripts menu (action1) action1 = Parley.newAction("example_action1","Move to new lesson") action1.statusTip="Moves the selected rows to a new lesson" Parley.connect(action1,"triggered()",moveSelectedToNewLesson) #create a new action for the Scripts menu (action2) action2 = Parley.newAction("example_action2","Mark as known (highest grade)") action2.statusTip="Sets the grade selected translations to 7 (highest grade)" Parley.connect(action2,"triggered()",markAsKnown) @endcode * * After creating the Script action and being able to call a function you can start adding your own code, using the documentation provided for the scripting classes and by seeing other examples. * * For debugging use the standard output and observed it in the terminal. * */ namespace Scripting { /** * @class Parley * @brief Parley scripting class (main entry point of a %Parley Kross script) * * Parley class is the main entry point of Parley scripting classes. Through it you can access the Document class (Parley.doc or Parley.document) which provides functionality for viewing/modifying a %Parley document (%KEduVocDocument), that means access lessons, entries, document languages etc. * * The Parley class has to do more with the active %Parley application. Here it follows a list of possible usages of Parley class: * * - Add a new Action to the script menu (see Parley::newAction() function) * - Add a new translation script (see Parley::translateWord() signal) * - Have direct access to the active lesson (see Parley::activeLesson property) * - Have access to various enumerations (see Parley::Number, Parley::Case, Parley::Person, Parley::Gender and Parley::Definiteness enumerations) * - Create a new %Parley %Document (see Parley::newDocument() function) * * Signals and Slots: To connect a script function (slot) to a signal you just define a function with the same name as the signal or use the Parley.connect function: * @code * #how to connect a function to a signal (example with Parley::translateWord() signal) * def translateFromInternet(word,fromLang,toLang): * print "Translating from Internet!!.." * * Parley.connect("translateWord(const QString &,const QString &,const QString &)",translateFromInternet) * @endcode * * @author Avgoustinos Kadis */ class Parley : public QObject { Q_OBJECT /// Read-only property of the active document Q_PROPERTY ( QObject * document READ getDocument ) /// Abreviation of document property (same as Parley.document) Q_PROPERTY ( QObject * doc READ getDocument ) /// Currently active lesson Q_PROPERTY ( QObject * activeLesson READ activeLesson ) // Q_ENUMS ( Number Case Person Gender Definiteness ) Q_ENUMS ( Flags ) public: enum Flags { // This is used for both empty flags and to denote no flags of the correct type were set.
