Re: [fw-general] Is there anybody from Zend team ?
Aoohralex, I'm sorry but if you think so little of Zend Framework, why on Earth don't you just use all these other frameworks that you think are superior instead? This is a question for you to answer to yourself -- no-one on this list is interested. If you do want to use Zend Framework then that's great for you, but your constant _negativity_ -- based on next to no experience -- will achieve nothing but to alienate the most useful resources of Zend Framework, the community. Seriously, calm down, take a step back and consider for the moment that just maybe Zend Framework is as good as people think it to be. Regards, Carlton

[...] swilhelm: I wanted only write about some uncomfortable things in ZF - I would like to download ZF and started writing - I hate configure anything. I know little ZF, I used it little 1 year ago, but then somebody has given me fully configured ZF. Now I would like to do everything by myself from start to the end. There's a few related points here but they seem to me to come down to the trade off between a configuration-free set-up and flexibility. Zend Framework is good for so much more than just web pages, and in many of those contexts a layout isn't the best option. I have a whole host of command line scripts which leverage Zend Framework and not one of them uses Zend_Layout, although I guess they could... :-) In general, anytime you want to access your model without all the window dressing, AJAX requests (?), web services, scheduled tasks etc a layout probably won't be appropriate. Since the actions of adding a deleting a folder and a line of code are basically symmetrical, I guess your thought that it's faster have a layout included by default is based on the idea that the _default_ usage of Zend Framework is in building standard web sites. Even if we grant that everybody who is building web sites using Zend Framework wants to use Zend_Layout, I guess I'd say my point was that the other use-cases are common enough to not want the framework to _dictate_ that the layout be part of the default project structure. (IF a set of genuine best practices, rather than just opinions, could be formed for web projects I would be happy to see Zend_Tool have a create webProject command, but that's a big IF.) Your response to swilhelm seems to hit the crux of the matter: you hate to configure anything yet you want to do everything yourself from start to finish -- well, which is it? One of the big selling points of Zend Framework is that it doesn't force you into any particular way of doing things, i.e. that it is flexible. Where there are genuine best practices it offers sensible defaults but because it targets those who want such flexibility it _should not_ go further than that. As lessens are learnt over time, the amount of configuration required to perform standard tasks in Zend Framework is decreasing; this is a good thing but, given the projects goals, there are always going to be other frameworks out there that are able to do their one particular thing more easily. That's okay: Zend Framework need not be all things to all people -- not everyone need pay the cost in terms of configuration that Zend Framework's flexibility requires. (i.e. use the tool that is best suited to the job you have to do.) Regards, Carlton

I accept that Zend Framework may be slower off the mark for some tasks than other frameworks because it is not opinionated. (Although how much slower having done it once I really question.)

[fw-general] BBEdit Zend Framework Clippings Updated
I’ve just uploaded the latest version of the Zend Framwork Clipping set for BBEdit. As usual you can grab this from: http://noumenal.co.uk/resources/downloads or via GitHub: http://github.com/tedmasterweb/bbeditclippings/ Changes in this release Added the class to the clipping name to disambiguate duplicate method names. (Picture __construct 1000 times.) Since BBEdit doesn’t allow whitespace in autocomplete suggestions, I’ve used a double-star ** as the divider between method and class name. This I hope is clear enough visually, but please let me know what you think. Added parameter and return type hints to the clippings in line with the conventions of Ted’s original PHP clippings. (The return value is selected upon clipping insertion so a quick delete will get rid of it; its purpose is currently just as an aide memoir but I hope to leverage it further later.) Barring any major issues, this will be the final Beta of the BBEdit Zend Framework Clippings. They are just missing clippings for the Zend_Search_Lucene and Zend_Soap namespaces, which require ad hoc work- arounds. After that they will follow the Zend Framework release schedule. Enjoy, Carlton

So it should be in generated project. Not everybody needs a layout. Indeed, before version 1.5 we all got on very well without one. I'm not saying that a layout isn't widely used, but I think that's why there's a whole section in the quickstart on how to add one. 4. In which file should I write login, password etc. - to have access to my MySQL database ? I want to see empty places to write these data in some file. The best place is probably application.ini.

zend_db objects for every pommo's table... I just want to:
1) create the subscription form with zend_form,
2) validate the form on zend side
3) submit the form to the pommo's page used to insert new user
I've already completed the first 2 steps... here's the code in my
controller
to validate the form:
public function newsletterAction()
{
$newsletterForm = new Default_Model_NewsletterForm();
$this-view-newsletterForm = $newsletterForm;
if ($this-getRequest()-isPost())
{
$formData = $this-getRequest()-getPost();
if ($newsletterForm-isValid($formData))
{
$newsletterForm-setAction('/areaprivata/pommo/user/process.php');
HERE GOES THE MISSING CODE #
}
else
{
$newsletterForm-populate($formData);
}
}
}
If anyone has an idea, please let me know.
Many Thanks

I went through this way few years ago and as you mention it was so convenient to don't care in 80% of cases but the rest was pain in the ass. The setEscape() method doesn't help too much when you have to mix css/js/html code in a single phtml file. Why are you mixing them into a single file? Why not have separate files for separate types of code? This simplifies the story for escaping, allows you to run linters specific to the markup and/or language, and allows you to factor out things like CSS and JS to your presentation layer (where, arguably, it belongs -- *not* in your view scripts). Just an idea/suggestion here, could we have an optional second param to escape() which if provided would override the default (just for that usage)? I see this as helpful when quickly putting together a page and just wanting to inline the css/js for a sketch or a work in progress -- I know I'm gonna move it out eventually...

You need at least two parameters additional for escaping because you
have to sometimes specify context. For example, value of style
attribute: escape function needs to know context (= html attribute)
and value (= css expression)
Perhaps I'm not fully on board with what you're after but, I imagined
all of that to be taken care of by the callback (closure?) passed in
as the second parameter.
Then, say it's html by default, normally I just do this:
$this-title
But if, for the sake of trying something out I've embedded some non-
html, I do this:
$this-escape($this-script, function($value) { ... });
IMO, this is no worse than the current situation and (if I understand
you right) it gives you the flexibility you need?

Re: [fw-general] Zend_DB_Table: delete() won't delete any row in dependent tables

Hi,
I have two tables, drivers and cars.
Each driver in drivers has his cars in cars.
When I delete a driver, his cars should also be deleted in cars.
I defined two classes:
class Drivers extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract
{
[...]
protected $_dependentTables = array(
'Cars'
);
}
class Cars extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract
{
[...]
protected $_referenceMap = array(
'Pages' = array(
'columns' = array('driver_id'),
'refTableClass' = 'Drivers',
'refColumns'= 'id',
'onDelete' = self::CASCADE
)
);
}
When I run
$myTable = new Drivers();
$driversRowset = $myTable -find(1278);
$driver = $driversRowset-current();
$driver-delete();
The row with id 1278 in my drivers table will be deleted and also
all rows
in cars, where driver_id = 1278. Everything is working as expected.
Now I want to add a method to my drivers Zend_Db_Table class, which
will
delete a driver and do something else:
class Drivers extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract
{
[...]
public function doSth($id)
{
$where = $this-_db-quoteInto('id = ?', $id,
Zend_Db::INT_TYPE);
$this-delete($where);
// do my other stuff
[...]
}
}
My problem is, that when I call $driverTable-doSth(1278), the row
in the
driver's table will be deleted, but it won't delete any rows in cars.
Did I miss something?
Yes. The cascading write options ONLY work via the Row object.
In your method doSth you are using the table's delete() method, which
does not enforce the cascade specified in the $_referenceMap array.
In the example previously you are using the row object's delete().
This does enforce the cascade.
If you change your doSth() method to use fetchRow() and then call
delete on that all should work as you intend.
I hope this helps. I have been caught out by this one myself and
(still) am not sure WHY the table's delete() method doesn't behave as
you expected.

Okay, since this is the case I'll probably go with Jan's approach. Second, if you want to ensure that the revision does not change... pin to a specific revision. svn:externals supports that natively. As an example, you can use something like the following: externals/extras r14722 http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/extras/branches/release-1.7/library/ZendX I gave a made-up revision number there, but that's the basic idea -- you can specify a revision between the local path and the externals path.

Hi,
If you are using a **redirect** then you are starting a new request.
You would need to store the last login data in a session (rather than
the registry) in order to access it.
Try:
$session = new Zend_Session_Namespace('login');
$session-user_last_login = $user_row[user_last_login];
And
$session = new Zend_Session_Namespace('login');
echo session-user_last_login;

Hi AJ,
One thing you **could do** is extend Zend_Controller_Action in order
to override the constructor.
(You then have your application controllers extend from that).
?php
class My_Controller_Action extend Zend_Controller_Action
{
// shared class properties here
public function __construct(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request,
Zend_Controller_Response_Abstract $response,
array $invokeArgs =
array()
)
{
// stuff to happen before init()
parent::parent::__construct($request, $response, $invokeArgs);
//stuff to happen after init()
}
// Class Continues...
}
The key thing is to call parent::_construct() which runs init() as
its last action. Also you can't access things like $this-getRequest
() until after you've done so (however they are already in scope so
you may not want to...)
I use this approach myself for loading module include paths. In
general though I'd want to avoid loading too much into the controller
this way as plugins and action helpers are more flexible in the main.
(Note to self: move module include path stuff to a plugin! :-)
I hope this helps.

Hi,
I am setting up a site which will be divided into
subsites, one per country (for a set number of
countries). The sites will be the same (the coding
must be shared), but the content will vary depending
on the site ID or code, for example, the following
URLs should work for my site..and the key difference
would be the SITE ID as you can see below (which will
show different content from a database, based on that
site id):
http://www.mydomain.com/ {english site}
http://www.mydomain.com/nl/ (netherlands site)
http://www.mydomain.com/de/ (german site)
http://www.mydomain.com/ads/cars/36/
http://www.mydomain.com/nl/ads/cars/36/
http://www.mydomain.com/de/ads/cars/37/
Basically we are planning to set up the English site
under the main domain and language sites under a
directory structure like the above, so the following
would be valid:
http://www.mydomain.com/ads/cars/36/
{shows content in English and uses a certain
controller and view to do this}
http://www.mydomain.com/sg/ads/cars/36/
(must use the same controller and view, but the site
id will be different (stored in a session) and
therefore display everything in the other
language/country
My question - how can I do this in ZF? In the
IndexController, I know I can define functions for the
above like this:
public function adsAction() {
}
But then how do I make sure the same function is
called if I go to a URL like this:
http://www.mydomain.com/sg/ads/cars/36/
public function sgAction() {
//set session site id as sg
//redirect to adsAction() if /ads/ is the next item
in the URL, or redirect to productsAction if the next
item in the URL is products, or redirect to
indexAction if there is no next item in the URL
}
Can someone please let me know how to code this? I'm
still a newbie... the complication comes in because
the redirect depends on the URL. You may also have a
URL like this:
http://www.mydomain.com/?myparameter=1
http://www.mydomain.com/nl/?myparameter=1
Basically in both cases, I would want the indexAction
to be called with the appropriate session siteid set,
and the parameter would also need to be passed without
change.
Any advice on the best way to do this?
Many thanks!
[fw-general] How do I get my patch applied?
Hi all, I've written a patch for an issue with Zend_Filter_Input. ( http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-3100 ). Not sure what else to do, I've uploaded it to the issue tracker. And I'm wondering now, what next? I'm a beginner at the whole open source community-reviewed project thing and despite promises that Contributing is easier than you think am finding the ZF workflow quite hard to understand -- specifically, in this case, I understood from the wiki that I'd need to put my patch forward for review, but I can't see a link anywhere for THAT. Perhaps I've already done the right thing, but if so that's more luck than anything else -- and it's anything but clear to a newbie. Can I just ask for some advice from more seasoned pros? I'd like to go on and document the patch etc but I'm just sure of the workflow -- I continually seem to spend the time I could be spending on the ZF trying to work out what to do next/first by browsing big circles in the issue tracker/wiki. Perhaps this is just me :) but if someone who does this regularly could outline the steps *they would take* when patching a simple issue, that would be a great help. Thanks, Carlton

There might be a kind of *long tail* argument for (Zend itself even) prioritising the improvements here: despite limited lead developer time, the sum of the contributions from the tail may very quickly pay back the cost of improvements if only they could be encouraged/ captured. This would also have permanent benefits for the speed of the framework's development -- we would all benefit if lead developers were free to rush ahead knowing a whole wave of users could easily pick up any dropped fragments behind them. (Just thoughts :-) We will be reviewing issues for inclusion with 1.6 (and potentially another bugfix release of 1.5) in the coming weeks. Those that have patches are usually given higher priority as, well, quite simply, the work has been done. :-) Somebody with SVN karma will then apply the patch, and write any necessary tests to exercise it (hint, if you haven't written a test case, do so and attach it!). Test case it is then! (Thanks) Regards, Carlton
