NAME

Top

QWizard::Plugins::Bookmarks - Adds a bookmark menu to QWizard based applications answers.

SYNOPSIS

Top

  use QWizard;
  use QWizard::Storage::File;
  use QWizard::Plugins::Bookmarks;

  my $qw = new QWizard( ... );
  my $storage = new QWizard::Stoarge::File(file => "/path/to/file");
  init_bookmarks($qw, $storage, OPTIONS);

DESCRIPTION

Top

This module simply adds in a menu at the top of all QWizard screens to create and, display and jump to bookmarks. The bookmarks_init function needs access to the already created qwizard object and a QWizard storage container (SQL or File based ones, for example, work well).

The bookmarks will not be shown if the qw_nobookmarks preference is set to a true value.

OPTIONS

Top

The options parameter of the init_bookmarks() function allows you to set name => value value pairs of options. The following are currently supported:

title => "Bookmarks"

The title parameter lets you override the default menu name from "Bookmarks" to a title of your choice.

saveopt => "Remember This Page"

The option name that used used as the "save this spot" kind of value.
