function panels_allowed_layouts::save in Panels 7.3

Same name and namespace in other branches

1. 6.3 includes/common.inc \panels_allowed_layouts::save()

Use panels_allowed_layouts::module_name to generate a variable for variable_set(), in which a serialized version of $this will be stored.

Does nothing if panels_allowed_layouts::module_name is not set.

IMPORTANT NOTE: if you use variable_get() in a custom client module save() method, you MUST wrap $this in serialize(), then unserialize() what you get from variable_get(). Failure to do so will result in an incomplete object. The following code will work:

 $allowed_layouts = unserialize(variable_get('your_variable_name', serialize(''));

If you don't serialize the second parameter of variable_get() and the variable name you provide can't be found, an E_STRICT warning will be generated for trying to unserialize an entity that has not been serialized.
