=head1 NAME

FS::access_user_pref - Object methods for access_user_pref records

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use FS::access_user_pref;

  $record = new FS::access_user_pref \%hash;
  $record = new FS::access_user_pref { 'column' => 'value' };

  $error = $record->insert;

  $error = $new_record->replace($old_record);

  $error = $record->delete;

  $error = $record->check;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

An FS::access_user_pref object represents an per-user preference.  Preferenaces
are also used to store transient state information (server-side "cookies").
FS::access_user_pref inherits from FS::Record.  The following fields are
currently supported:

=over 4

=item prefnum - primary key

=item usernum - Internal access user (see L<FS::access_user>)

=item prefname - 

=item prefvalue - 

=item expiration - 

=back

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item new HASHREF

Creates a new preference.  To add the example to the database, see L<"insert">.

Note that this stores the hash reference, not a distinct copy of the hash it
points to.  You can ask the object for a copy with the I<hash> method.

=cut

# the new method can be inherited from FS::Record, if a table method is defined

sub table { 'access_user_pref'; }

=item insert

Adds this record to the database.  If there is an error, returns the error,
otherwise returns false.

=cut

# the insert method can be inherited from FS::Record

=item delete

Delete this record from the database.

=cut

# the delete method can be inherited from FS::Record

=item replace OLD_RECORD

Replaces the OLD_RECORD with this one in the database.  If there is an error,
returns the error, otherwise returns false.

=cut

# the replace method can be inherited from FS::Record

=item check

Checks all fields to make sure this is a valid preference.  If there is
an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.  Called by the insert
and replace methods.

=cut

# the check method should currently be supplied - FS::Record contains some
# data checking routines

sub check {
  my $self = shift;

  my $error = 
    $self->ut_numbern('prefnum')
    || $self->ut_number('usernum')
    || $self->ut_text('prefname')
    #|| $self->ut_textn('prefvalue')
    || $self->ut_anything('prefvalue')
  ;
  return $error if $error;

  $self->SUPER::check;
}
