Creates a flag from a database row. Returns it.

This is static method.

The reason this isn't a non-static instance method --like Views's init()-- is because the class to instantiate changes according to the 'content_type' database column. This design pattern is known as the "Single Table Inheritance".

Class

flag_flag

This abstract class represents a flag, or, in Views 2 terminology, "a handler".

Code

function factory_by_row($row) {
  $flag = flag_create_handler($row->content_type);

  // Lump all data unto the object...
  foreach ($row as $field => $value) {
    $flag->{$field} = $value;
  }

  // ...but skip the following two.
  unset($flag->options, $flag->type);
  $options = (array) unserialize($row->options);

  // Make the unserialized options accessible as normal properties.
  foreach ($options as $option => $value) {
    $flag->{$option} = $value;
  }
  if (!empty($row->type)) {

    // The loop loading from the database should further populate this property.
    $flag->types[] = $row->type;
  }
  $flag->roles = empty($row->roles) ? array() : explode(',', $row->roles);
  return $flag;
}
