[dev] Horde_UI_Pager question

[Michael Rubinsky]

I'm trying to improve the api of Ansel.  I'm in the process of adding  
a 'renderGallery()' method that will render the specified gallery's  
thumbnails and pager...basically, the Gallery_View without the actions  
or tags etc...

The whole point of this, obviously is to make it easy to embed a  
gallery in another application/website. I've added a new "simple"  
gallery view to render it, and a url can be passed to it as a  
parameter, with %g being replaced with the gallery id (similar to how  
you can provide custom article urls in Jonah).

The problem is that Horde_UI_Pager generates the links using  
Horde::applicationUrl() which makes sense considering it's normal use.  
In this case, however, since it's being called within Ansel's scope  
during the api call, the urls it generates are useless. The URL it  
generates is something like  
http://example.com/horde/ansel/http://mysite.com/photos/view

I'm looking for some guidance on how to overcome this. I'm thinking of  
maybe adding a check in Horde_UI_Pager, that if a full url is passed  
to it, then just use it as is, instead of passing it to  
applicationUrl() but I honestly don't know for sure if this would be a  
"Bad Thing" as far as BC or security goes...


Thanks,
mike
