RE: [fw-general] Validating a person's name with Zend Validate
If you really want to accept international visitors, be very careful what you do with names... My family name for instance is 'de Lau'. The 'de' part in the Netherlands is called a 'tussenvoegsel'.[1] It is considered part of the family name. I would suggest that if a visitor entered any upppercase character in their input, they probably did a better job than you would be doing and you better leave it alone. Exception might be ALL UPPERCASE input or even cAPS LOCK.

Re: [fw-general] Best Practices: Eliminate redundancy within various controller init methods?
You can make a custom controller to make all the others... something like
this:
class My_Controller_Action extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
public function init()
{
// your common code
}
}
Then you will use it like this:
class IndexController extends My_Controller_Action
{
// optional function to use to add more stuff to the default init
public function init()
{
// some code
parent::init(); // use this anywhere inside this function to
call the default init
// some code
}
}
Hope it helps ;)

Re: [fw-general] Best Practices: Eliminate redundancy within various controller init methods?
You can of course have a base custom controller, but you do not need to.
Depending on what you need exactly you can use either an action helper
in the init method or a plugin or both a plugin and an action helper.
public function init(){
$this->_helper->myInit(); //instead of your six lines of code
}

Hi,
Been using the ZFW for a few weeks now, and love it. I have a pretty good
grasp on the key features, however there's one obstacle I can't seem to
surpass. My site is broken into about 7 different controllers, and I store
all configuration data in config.ini.
Currently within each controller init() method I redundantly include the
same 5-6 lines of code which perform various calculations, such as
determining the number of registered users. This information is
subsequently displayed within the page header. For instance, you'll find
this line within each of my controllers' init() methods:
$this->view->totalUsers = $user->getUserCount();
(obviously this data is cached using Zend_Cache, I'm just keeping it
simple here)
For that matter, several of my controller actions use config.ini
parameters, so the following line is currently found in every controllers'
init() method:
$this->config = Zend_Registry::get('config');
I've seemingly tried everything, including creating a custom front
controller plugin and defining a preDispatch() method. However the
variable scope seems limited to that method, as I'm unable to retrieve
$this->config within my controllers.
Surely there's a recommended way to manage these lines of code in a single
location? While this works, I'd much rather avoid having to redundantly
maintain the same lines of code in each controller action.
Thank you!

[fw-general] Question regarding dojo forms rendered in templates called via xhr.
Hi all, I am in the process of switching our application to make use of dojo forms, however, am having some issues with forms which are rendered via xhr requests. In a nutshell: a) Layout is rendered and the index action renders a dojo form which works perfectly fine. b) After submitting the form, the user manually follows a link which calls a JS function and loads the required action template in a specified div. c) The loaded dojo form in the resulting div however doesn't seem to be 'dojo enabled'. The form does render, albeit without any styles or dijit functionality. Please note: initialization of application is based on Matthew Weier O'Phinney's excellent pastebin app. I pasted the relevant sections @: http://www.pastebin.ca/1303381 The entire application source can be viewed at: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mhashmi/zivios/devel/files (please see the 'installer' module). Also: I had made quite a few attempts to selectively load the required dojo modules (with dojo.addOnLoad), but for some reason I am not getting it right. I am also confused about setting dojo to "declarative" mode in the view template when we have already done so in the predispatch action... Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, -- Mustafa A. Hashmi
Re: [fw-general] Question regarding dojo forms rendered in templates called via xhr.
that is a javascript specific problem. If you load stuff via XHR you have to reattach all the events to it, because they have not been registered. all the content inside the loaded div has not been "dojo eventized" lets call it, so no javascript is happening there. you have to reattach all events to that specific elements. greetings, Benjamin On Thursday 08 January 2009 12:22:31 Mustafa A.

That's correct, but if you register the helper with the broker and use
the hooks, you will get the initialisation for every single
controller. If you use a superclass, then you can choose whether to
extend a given controller with it or not.
Personally, I would use a helper and an init() function in the
controllers where I want to use that common functionality.

Re: [fw-general] Best Practices: Eliminate redundancy within various controller init methods?
Another option for the common users' data is to simple create a View Helper
which runs the relevant query to get the total user count (have the helper
grab the Model instance and perform the work). Then simply call that View
Helper from within your template as needed. Just to be smart, you can use
the same helper if its really really needed within a Controller using
$this->view->myHelper().
The reason an Action Helper for that case may be inappropriate, is that the
data is needed by the View, but is not needed by the Controller, so why even
bother doing it in the Controller? ;) Skip the middleman.
As for configuration, why not create an Action Helper to simply encapsulate
the Zend_Config instance? Then from a controller, you can access the
instance using something like:
$this->_helper->config
The only work required would be formulating the helper as a basic proxy to
the underlying Zend_Config instance using PHP's magic methods, and
registering the Action Helper to the HelperBroker.
See: http://devzone.zend.com/article/3350-Action-Helpers-in-Zend-Framework
In general it's a good idea to avoid extending Zend_Controller_Action to add
functionality. It's the easy option, and like all similarly easy options it
can turn into a bloated, overused, unportable class.

Many thanks for the speedy response. I actually did try the "addOnLoad" calls and "requireModule" calls from within the template, however, I am obviously missing more of the required glue. Will try again and share my attempts if I can't go further. Also: noticed that pastebin is up to 1.3.0 (i was referencing 1.0.0), so will look there for pointers as well.

Also, you can create an action helper that has an init() or
preDispatch() method, and register it in your bootstrap. This is a nice
way to build code that can be re-used across controllers without needing
a custom base controller (as action helpers have introspection to the
current controller).

When using XHR to retrieve (X)HTML content that will be injected into the DOM, you need to do two things: 1) Any dojo modules that the new content uses must already be loaded (i.e., the dojo.require calls should already have occurred). Because of how Zend_Dojo works, anything aggregated in the dojo view helper will not be sent in the payload (unless you explicitly include it). Additionally, HTML content pulled by XHR ignores any

[fw-general] Zend_Dojo View Helper - how do StackContainer and BorderContainer work?
Hi,
I just wonder how StackContainer and BorderContainer work compared to
AccordionContainer and TabContainer.
I have an example running with a TabContainer layout elements which
includes three ContentPane layout elements. Looks and works as expected.
I changed this example and switched to AccordionContainer and
AccordionPane and that example works as well as expected.
Then I tried to change from TabContainer to StackContainer, but this
does not work. Only the content of the first ContentPane is shown
without any design. Just black and white output. The same with
BorderContainer but this time it shows the content of all ContentPane
without any design.
Do StackContainer and BorderContainer really do work different than
AccordionContainer and TabContainer? And if yes, how do they work?
Here is my example.
-
borderContainer()->captureStart('container'); ?>
contentPane()->captureStart(
'pizza1', array(), array('title' => 'Pizza 1')
); ?>
Pizza 1
Pizza 1 description.
contentPane()->captureEnd('pizza1');?>
contentPane()->captureStart(
'pizza2', array(), array('title' => 'Pizza 2')
); ?>
Pizza 2
Pizza 2 description.
contentPane()->captureEnd('pizza2'); ?>
contentPane()->captureStart(
'pizza3', array(), array('title' => 'Pizza 3')
); ?>
Pizza 3
Pizza 3 description
contentPane()->captureEnd('pizza3'); ?>
borderContainer()->captureEnd('container'); ?>
-
To test this, just change the borderContainer() calls to tabContainer()
Thanks and best regards,
Ralf

That's normal. StackContainer is typically used for creating custom
widgets -- in fact, TabContainer is a type of StackContainer. With
StackContainer, one ContentPane is shown at a time, and you have to
provide UI elements for switching through panes (TabContainer does this
via tabs...). The standard example shows using it for a pager (for
instance, flipping through "pages" of an article).
> The same with BorderContainer but this time it shows the content of
> all ContentPane without any design.
BorderContainer is for composing a layout consisting of multiple panes;
each ContentPane represents a particular region of that layout.
For it to work, BorderContainer requires that you specify a "region"
parameter for each ContentPane; that pane is then shown in that region.
The standard regions are top, bottom, left, right, and center; how they
are rendered is based on which layout design you specify for the
BorderContainer. You specify the layout design using the "design"
parameter of the BorderContainer; the types are "headline"
(the default) and "sidebar". "Headline" has the ContentPanes
representing the top and bottom regions stretch to fill the container
horizontally; the left, center, and right pane widths are then split
across the width and appear between the top and bottom. With "sidebar",
the left and right panes fill the vertical height.
You may create your BorderContainer using any number of panes; you don't
need to represent all regions.
For the layout to show correctly, you *do* need to use one of the Dijit
themes.
When in doubt, go to http://dojotoolkit.org or http://dojocampus.org. :)

[fw-general] Session arrays
I'm trying to work out how to set up an array in a session with zend framework. I've managed to get simple values into sessions without array, but just can't work this part out. I would like to submit a form which adds the following to a session array. accommodation_id, accommodation_name, accommodation_price, accommodation_type. I would like for people to be able to add multiple amount of these into the session, and then loop through it on the view page, however I'm unsure of how to add an array in a session with zend framework. Any help would be great. thanks - http://www.acewebdesign.com.au Web Design Adelaide -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Session-arrays-tp21365392p21365392.html Sent from the Zend Framework mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
[fw-general] Zend Form Question
Hey List,
Do you think you could point me in the direction of an example
demonstrating building a form like this
setMethod('post');
$this->setAction('/images/uploadImage');
$this->setAttrib('enctype', 'multipart/form-data');
$this->addElement('text', 'name', array(
'label' => 'Name',
'required' => true,
'validators' => array(
array('validator' => 'StringLength', 'options' =>
array(3, 20)))
)
);
That Sets a custom error message for failure, and/or uses a regex
validator? I've been playing around a lot
and I'm having trouble with those two.
I can do
$this->name->getValidator('StringLength')->setMessage('Names must be
between 3 and 20 characters long');
But it seems as though there should be something in that array I can
set.
