Detailed Description

KServiceTypeProfile represents the user's preferences for services of a service type.

It consists of a list of services (service offers) for the service type that is sorted by the user's preference. TDETrader uses KServiceTypeProfile to sort its results, so usually you can just use TDETrader to find the user's preferred service.

KServiceTypeProfile()

KServiceTypeProfile::KServiceTypeProfile ( const TQString &  serviceType, const TQString &  genericServiceType = TQString::null  )

protected

Constructor is called when the user profile is read for the first time.

Parameters

serviceType	the service type (e.g. a MIME type)
genericServiceType	the generic service type (e.g. "Application" or "KParts/ReadOnlyPart"). Can be TQString::null, then the "Application" generic type will be used

Member Function Documentation

addService()

void KServiceTypeProfile::addService ( const TQString &  _service, int  _preference = 1, bool  _allow_as_default = true  )

protected

Add a service to this profile.

Parameters

_service	the name of the service
_preference	the user's preference value, must be positive, bigger is better
_allow_as_default	true if the service should be used as default

Definition at line 206 of file kuserprofile.cpp.

allowAsDefault()

bool KServiceTypeProfile::allowAsDefault

(

const TQString &

_service

)

const

Deprecated:

Remove in KDE 4, unused. Checks whether the given _service can be used as default.

Parameters

_service

the name of the service to check

Returns

true if allowed as default

Definition at line 225 of file kuserprofile.cpp.

clear()

void KServiceTypeProfile::clear ( )

static

Clear all cached information.

Definition at line 99 of file kuserprofile.cpp.

configurationMode()

static bool KServiceTypeProfile::configurationMode ( )

inlinestatic

Definition at line 220 of file kuserprofile.h.

offers() [1/2]

KServiceTypeProfile::OfferList KServiceTypeProfile::offers

(

)

const

Returns the list of all service offers for the service types that are represented by this profile.

Returns

the list of KServiceOffer instances

Definition at line 260 of file kuserprofile.cpp.

offers() [2/2]

KServiceTypeProfile::OfferList KServiceTypeProfile::offers ( const TQString &  servicetype, const TQString &  genericServiceType = TQString::null  )

static

Returns the offers associated with a given servicetype, sorted by preference.

This is what TDETrader uses to get the list of offers, before applying the constraints and preferences.

If genericServiceType is specified, a list is returned with the offers associated with the combination of the two service types. This is almost like an "foo in ServiceTypes" constraint in the TDETrader, but the difference is that to order the offers, we will look at entries specifically for those two service types. Typically, this is used for getting the list of embeddable components that can handle a given mimetype. In that case, servicetype is the mimetype and genericServiceType is "KParts/ReadOnlyPart".

Parameters

servicetype	the service type (e.g. a MIME type)
genericServiceType	the generic service type (e.g. "Application" or "KParts/ReadOnlyPart"). Can be TQString::null, then all generic types will be included

Returns

the list of offers witht he given parameters

Definition at line 110 of file kuserprofile.cpp.

preference()

int KServiceTypeProfile::preference

(

const TQString &

_service

)

const

Deprecated:

Remove in KDE 4, unused. Returns the users preference of the given service.

Parameters

_service

the name of the service to check

Returns

the user's preference number of the given _service, or 0 the service is unknown.

Definition at line 213 of file kuserprofile.cpp.

preferredService()

KService::Ptr KServiceTypeProfile::preferredService ( const TQString &  serviceType, const TQString &  genericServiceType  )

static

Returns the preferred service for _serviceType and _genericServiceType ("Application", type of component, or null).

Parameters

serviceType	the service type (e.g. a MIME type)
genericServiceType	the generic service type (e.g. "Application" or "KParts/ReadOnlyPart")

Returns

the preferred service, or 0 if no service is available

Definition at line 303 of file kuserprofile.cpp.

serviceTypeProfile()

KServiceTypeProfile * KServiceTypeProfile::serviceTypeProfile ( const TQString &  servicetype, const TQString &  genericServiceType = TQString::null  )

static

Returns the profile for the requested service type.

Parameters

servicetype	the service type (e.g. a MIME type)
genericServiceType	the generic service type (e.g. "Application" or "KParts/ReadOnlyPart"). Can be TQString::null, then the "Application" generic type will be used

Returns

the KServiceTypeProfile with the given arguments, or 0 if not found

Definition at line 243 of file kuserprofile.cpp.

serviceTypeProfiles()

static const TQPtrList< KServiceTypeProfile > & KServiceTypeProfile::serviceTypeProfiles ( )
