add_auto_load_value

mapping add_auto_load_value(mapping map,
                            string file_name,
                            string tag,
                            mixed value)


This method adds a value into the auto load mapping.

• Parameters:
  map - the mapping to add to
  file_name - the file name tag of the object doing the adding
  tag - the tag name to be used
  value - the value to be stored with it.
• Example:
  

  #define AUTO_LOAD_TAG "object"
  
  mapping query_dynamic_auto_load() {
     mapping map;
  
     map = ::query_dynamic_auto_load();
     map = add_auto_load_value(map, AUTO_LOAD_TAG, "name", name);
  } /* query_dynamic_auto_load() */
  

query_auto_load_value

mixed query_auto_load_value(mapping map,
                            string file_name,
                            string tag)


This method will attempt to read the tag value for the given name out of the auto load mapping.

This works backwards compatible with the old method of dealing with tags and file names.


• Parameters:
  map - the auto load mapping
  file_name - the file name tag to use
  tag - the tag to use in the file name
• Example:
  

  #define AUTO_LOAD_TAG "object"
  
  mapping init_dynamic_arg(mapping map) {
     mapping map;
  
     map = ::query_dynamic_auto_load();
     map = add_auto_load_value(map, AUTO_LOAD_TAG, "name", name);
  } /* init_dynamic_arg() */
