<h1>Type HowTo - General type options<br>
</h1>
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br>
<h2>1. Alias name</h2>
The type name is very limited, therefore every type has an <span
style="font-style: italic;">alias name</span>. This <span
style="font-style: italic;">alias name</span> has no limitations and
can be translated. It may contain special characters but make sure that
it does not contain HTML special characters like "<".<br>
<br>
The <span style="font-style: italic;">alias name</span> is specified
with <span style="font-weight: bold;">getAlias()</span><span
style="font-weight: bold;"></span>.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Example:</span><br
style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">
<br>
Our <span style="font-style: italic;">smbDomain</span> type will get
the alias "Samba domains".<br>
<br>
<table style="width: 100%; text-align: left;" class="mod-code"
border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"> /**<br>
* Returns the alias name of this account type.<br>
*<br>
* @return string alias name<br>
*/<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">function</span>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">getAlias()</span> {<br>
return _("Samba domains");<br>
}<br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>
<br>
<h2>2. Description<br>
</h2>
Each type has a description so that the user knows what accounts he can
manage with that type. The description is displayed in the LAM
configuration editor.<br>
<br>
The description is specified with <span style="font-weight: bold;">getDescription()</span><span
style="font-weight: bold;"></span>.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Example:</span><br
style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">
<br>
Our <span style="font-style: italic;">smbDomain</span> type has the
description "Samba 3 domain entries".<br>
<br>
<table style="width: 100%; text-align: left;" class="mod-code"
border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"> /**<br>
* Returns the description of this account type.<br>
*<br>
* @return string description<br>
*/<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">function</span>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">getDescription()</span> {<br>
return _("Samba 3 domain
entries");<br>
}<br>
</td>
