KBookmarkManager Class Reference
from PyKDE4.kio import *
Inherits: QObject
Detailed Description
This class implements the reading/writing of bookmarks in XML. The bookmarks file is read and written using the XBEL standard (http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/xbel/)
A sample file looks like this :
<xbel> <bookmark href="http://techbase.kde.org"><title>Developer Web Site</title></bookmark> <folder folded="no"> <title>Title of this folder</title> <bookmark icon="kde" href="http://www.kde.org"><title>KDE Web Site</title></bookmark> <folder toolbar="yes"> <title>My own bookmarks</title> <bookmark href="http://www.koffice.org"><title>KOffice Web Site</title></bookmark> <separator/> <bookmark href="http://www.kdevelop.org"><title>KDevelop Web Site</title></bookmark> </folder> </folder> </xbel>
Method Documentation
Creates a bookmark manager with a path to the bookmarks. By default, it will use the KDE standard dirs to find and create the correct location. If you are using your own app-specific bookmarks directory, you must instantiate this class with your own path <em>before</em> KBookmarkManager.managerForFile() is ever called.
- Parameters:
-
bookmarksFile full path to the bookmarks file, Use ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/bookmarks.xml for the konqueror bookmarks dbusObjectName a unique name that represents this bookmark collection, usually your kinstance (e.g. kapplication) name. This is "konqueror" for the konqueror bookmarks, "kfile" for KFileDialog bookmarks, etc. The final DBus object path is /KBookmarkManager/dbusObjectName An empty dbusObjectName disables the registration to dbus (used for temporary managers)
__init__ | ( | self, | ||
QString | bookmarksFile | |||
) |
Creates a bookmark manager for an external file (Using KDirWatch for change monitoring)
- Since:
- 4.1
__init__ | ( | self ) |
Creates a temp bookmark manager
bookmarkCompleteChange | ( | self, | ||
QString | caller | |||
) |
Signal send over DBUS
- Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("bookmarkCompleteChange(QString)"), target_slot)
bookmarkConfigChanged | ( | self ) |
Signal send over DBUS
- Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("bookmarkConfigChanged()"), target_slot)
bookmarksChanged | ( | self, | ||
QString | groupAddress | |||
) |
Signal send over DBUS
- Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("bookmarksChanged(QString)"), target_slot)
Signals that the group (or any of its children) with the address groupAddress (e.g. "/4/5") has been modified by the caller caller. connect to this
- Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("changed(const QString&, const QString&)"), target_slot)
configChanged | ( | self ) |
Signals that the config changed
- Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("configChanged()"), target_slot)
KBookmarkManager createTempManager | ( | ) |
only used for KBookmarkBar
emitChanged | ( | self ) |
Saves the bookmark file and notifies everyone.
emitChanged | ( | self, | ||
KBookmarkGroup | group | |||
) |
Saves the bookmark file and notifies everyone.
- Parameters:
-
group the parent of all changed bookmarks
emitConfigChanged | ( | self ) |
- Returns:
- the bookmark designated by address
- Parameters:
-
address the address belonging to the bookmark you're looking for tolerate when true tries to find the most tolerable bookmark position
- See also:
- KBookmark.address
QDomDocument internalDocument | ( | self ) |
- Internal:
KBookmarkManager managerForExternalFile | ( | QString | bookmarksFile | |
) |
Returns a KBookmarkManager, which will use KDirWatch for change detection This is important when sharing bookmarks with other Desktops.
- Parameters:
-
bookmarksFile full path to the bookmarks file
- Since:
- 4.1
KBookmarkManager managerForFile | ( | QString | bookmarksFile, | |
QString | dbusObjectName | |||
) |
This static function will return an instance of the KBookmarkManager, responsible for the given bookmarksFile. If you do not instantiate this class either natively or in a derived class, then it will return an object with the default behaviors. If you wish to use different behaviors, you <em>must</em> derive your own class and instantiate it before this method is ever called.
- Parameters:
-
bookmarksFile full path to the bookmarks file, Use ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/bookmarks.xml for the konqueror bookmarks dbusObjectName a unique name that represents this bookmark collection, usually your kinstance (e.g. kapplication) name. This is "konqueror" for the konqueror bookmarks, "kfile" for KFileDialog bookmarks, etc. The final DBus object path is /KBookmarkManager/dbusObjectName An empty dbusObjectName disables the registration to dbus (used for temporary managers)
notifyChanged | ( | self, | ||
QString | groupAddress, | |||
QDBusMessage | msg | |||
) |
Emit the changed signal for the group whose address is given
- See also:
- KBookmark.address() Called by the process that saved the file after a small change (new bookmark or new folder). Does not send signal over DBUS to the other Bookmark Managers You probably want to call emitChanged()
notifyCompleteChange | ( | self, | ||
QString | caller | |||
) |
Reparse the whole bookmarks file and notify about the change Doesn't send signal over DBUS to the other Bookmark Managers You probably want to use emitChanged()
notifyConfigChanged | ( | self ) |
QString path | ( | self ) |
This will return the path that this manager is using to read the bookmarks.
- Internal:
- Returns:
- the path containing the bookmarks
KBookmarkGroup root | ( | self ) |
This will return the root bookmark. It is used to iterate through the bookmarks manually. It is mostly used internally.
- Returns:
- the root (top-level) bookmark
bool save | ( | self, | ||
bool | toolbarCache=1 | |||
) |
Save the bookmarks to an XML file on disk. You should use emitChanged() instead of this function, it saves and notifies everyone that the file has changed. Only use this if you don't want the emitChanged signal.
- Parameters:
-
toolbarCache iff true save a cache of the toolbar folder, too
- Returns:
- true if saving was successful
bool saveAs | ( | self, | ||
QString | filename, | |||
bool | toolbarCache=1 | |||
) |
Save the bookmarks to the given XML file on disk.
- Parameters:
-
filename full path to the desired bookmarks file location toolbarCache iff true save a cache of the toolbar folder, too
- Returns:
- true if saving was successful
setEditorOptions | ( | self, | ||
QString | caption, | |||
bool | browser | |||
) |
Set options with which slotEditBookmarks called keditbookmarks this can be used to change the appearance of the keditbookmarks in order to provide a slightly differing outer shell depending on the bookmarks file / app which calls it.
- Parameters:
-
caption the --caption string, for instance "Konsole" browser iff false display no browser specific menu items in keditbookmarks . --nobrowser
setUpdate | ( | self, | ||
bool | update | |||
) |
Set the update flag. Defaults to true.
- Parameters:
-
update if true then KBookmarkManager will listen to DBUS update requests.
slotEditBookmarks | ( | self ) |
slotEditBookmarksAtAddress | ( | self, | ||
QString | address | |||
) |
KBookmarkGroup toolbar | ( | self ) |
This returns the root of the toolbar menu. In the XML, this is the group with the attribute toolbar=yes
- Returns:
- the toolbar group
bool updateAccessMetadata | ( | self, | ||
QString | url | |||
) |
Update access time stamps for a given url.
- Parameters:
-
url the viewed url
- Returns:
- true if any metadata was modified (bookmarks file is not saved automatically)
KBookmarkManager userBookmarksManager | ( | ) |
Returns a pointer to the user's main (konqueror) bookmark collection.
