Overview

EnsEMBL::Web::Magic is the new module which handles script requests, producing the appropriate WebPage objects, where required... There are four exported functions: magic - clean up and logging; stuff - rendering whole pages; carpet - simple redirect handler for old script names; and ingredient - to create partial pages for AJAX inclusions. Three constants defined and exported to the parent scripts... To allow unquoted versions of Gene, Transcript and Location in the parent scripts.

    magic


    Postfix for all the magic actions! doesn't really do much! Could potentially be used as a clean up script depending on what the previous scripts do!

    In this case we use it as a way to warn lines to the error log to show what the script has just done!
    Usage use EnsEMBL::Web::Magic; magic stuff

    menu

    stuff
    Usage use EnsEMBL::Web::Magic; magic stuff

    The stuff that dreams are made of - instead of using separate scripts for each view we now use a 'routing' approach which transmogrifies the URL and separates it into 'species', 'type' and 'action' - giving nice, clean, systematic URLs for handling heirarchical object navigation This block here checks to see if the user has changed the configuration of the page - either by adding a shared URL or, by changing configuration either with a config parameter OR with a "imageconfig" name parameter...
