# dhtmlxScheduler Joomla component

##Component structure
* admin/ - back-end part of component
* site/ - font-end part of component
* install.xml - installation xml description

All scheduler logic is located in site/codebase.
It includes scheduler codebase, scheduler configurator, code generator.
There are 3 main points in code:
* initializing admin panel
+ joomla/admin/views/schedulers/tmpl/default.php - admin form initializing
+ joomla/admin/controller.php - loading/saving configuration
* generating scheduler code
+ joomla/site/models/scheduler.php (method getScheduler())
* processing loading/saving requests
+ joomla/site/controller.php (method loadxml())

##Database structure
* events_rec - stores scheduler events
+ event\_id - event id
+ start\_date - event start date/time
+ end\_date - event end date/time
+ text - event text
+ rec\_type - event recurring logic
+ event\_pid - parent event (for editing one event from recurring series)
+ event\_length - event length (required for recurring events)
+ user - event creator/editor id
+ lat - event latitude (for map view)
+ lng - event longuitude (for map view)
* scheduler_options - stores scheduler configuration
+ id - option id
+ name - option name
+ value - option value
Here is a list of options:
+ scheduler\_xml - scheduler xml configuration. Is used to load settings in admin panel
+ scheduler\_php - parsed xml configuration and serialized into more useful form
+ scheduler\_php\_version - version of the last php configuration
+ scheduler\_xml\_version - version of the last xml configuration
+ scheduler\_stable\_config - last stable configuration (is used for restoring scheduler configuration after config xml error)

##Codebase details
Core provides universal control panel, API for generating scheduler and events data-feed.
Logic of parsing settings may be found in codebase/dhtmlxSchedulerConfigurator.php.

For saving/parsing configuration is used the follow logic:
when user saves configuration it is saved into database.
At the same time scheduler\_xml\_version (have a look database structure) is increased.
When user opens scheduler then configurators compare scheduler\_xml\_version and scheduler\_php\_version.
If scheduler\_xml\_version if bigger than scheduler\_php\_version then it parses xml configuration and serialize it into php (scheduler\_php in database).
At the same time configurator updates scheduler_php_version to actual.
If scheduler\_xml\_version equals scheduler\_php\_version than xml is already parsed and serialized php configuration may be used.
