[fw-general] Dynamic form validation
Hi all, An issue I come across reasonably regularly with ZF2 forms is dynamically setting validation rules based on other elements in the form. For example, let’s say I have a checkout form, where I capture users personal details and payment details. So would could maybe have a PaymentForm, with a PaymentDetails fieldset and a PersonalDetails fieldset. Each fieldset could have its own input filter and hence validate itself when the form is validated. All good. Now, what if we want the user to either be able to pay via credit card or PayPal. For this we might take the PaymentDetails fieldset further, by adding two sub fieldsets, CreditCardDetails and PayPal details. Within the PaymentDetails fieldset there might be a select option which allows the user to choose a credit card type or PayPal. If they choose PayPal, any values in the CreditCard fieldset are irrelevant, and shouldn’t be validated. I belive I should be using validation groups for this, but at what point do I set the validation group, should I do this in my controller action where the form is submitted, but before it is validated: Essentially getting the submitted value for the ‘payment type’ select option and manipulating the form input groups accordingly?? This I believe will work, but it would seem to tie the forms underlying logic to the controller a bit too much. Am I missing something, or would this be the ‘recommended way’? Cheers, Greg. -- List: fw-general@lists.zend.com Info: http://framework.zend.com/archives Unsubscribe: fw-general-unsubscr...@lists.zend.com

work around. In actual fact, there isn't much validation
that can be done here, the user selects options for which there is always a
default value.

Re: [fw-general] Validating route params are loading entities from route params
Thanks for your advice and the link Daniel. I'll take a look sounds like a
good option. To save the controller also having to do a similar DB query to
pull the entity back, I'm guessing that I could store it in a session variable
from within the preDispatch. I'm also using Doctrine, so another alternative
would be to just query again and allow the doctrine entity cache to take care
of this 'caching' element.
Cheers,
Greg

[fw-general] Validating route params are loading entities from route params
Hi all,
I'm developing a ZF2 site which has a booking process for events. The booking
process part of the site has consistent URLs like:
http://mysite.com/book/TopEvent/availability
http://mysite.com/book/TopEvent/seats
http://mysite.com/book/TopEvent/payment
http://mysite.com/book/TopEvent/confirm
I have an event entity stored in a relational database, that amongst other
things has a 'url_name' field which is used to reference the event in urls, a
bit nicer than using plain old ids. So in the above URL examples, the
'url_name' is TopEvent.
I have a controller names BookingController which has all the actions for the
above sample URLs, for example seatsAction. Currently, at the start of each
action I'm having to pull the 'url_name' parameter from the params, and search
for the event by url_name in my database. If no event is found, I return 404.
I have a controller plugin to help with this, and the code looks something like:
public function seatsAction()
{
// Check we have valid event
if (!$event = $this->SIL()->getEventFromRoute()) {
$this->logger->err("On seats page with no valid event, returning 404");
$this->getResponse()->setStatusCode(404);
return;
}
….
If I have 8 actions in my booking controller, this gets a bit repetitive.
Essentially, I'd like a way to return a 404 on all routes/action where the
event cannot be found.
And finally to the crux of my mail, I'd like some advice on the best way to do
this?
Perhaps I should be listening for some event within my controller (dispatch?)
and doing my check here (can I return 404 from this).
Or should I override the parent controllers onDispatch event?
Or, could I take this further and create a custom router that validates this
part of the URL against the database? If I went down this route, could that
custom router also load the entity for use within that request?
Any advise greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Greg.

Re: [fw-general] Rasmus Lerdorf opinion on PHP frameworks: "They all suck!"
My first impression is that the route event should only return a route matched (SRP?); its simpler and would allow the route match to be retrieved from the service manager without needing a route event (or if there is no matched route). The service manager could then have a default route match configured, 404 ?.

Two things are happening prior to deriveControllerSubNamespace being called: $module = $this->deriveModuleNamespace($controller); $namespace = $routeMatch->getParam(ModuleRouteListener::MODULE_NAMESPACE) If the routing config specifies a namespace, then deriveControllerSubNamespace is called. $module is then prepended to the subnamespace if the derive method determines that one exists otherwise $module is set with the entire rout config $namespace value. Actually just now I changed the Controller namespace to Controllerx and with the change I made it still fell into what I would of expectated: Without the change the template path resolves to: application/controllerx/index/index With the change it resolves to application/admin/controllerx/index/index The reason why I find this desirable, is that there is only one template stack path for all my sub-namespaces, as well as being PSR-0 compliant. > > In the meantime, you could create a controller or module-specific > listener for injecting the view template name. > I realized that yesterday, but in this case its not desirable to overriding it like that. It means deviating away from the standard documentation, it would be preferred to pull the listener to use from the service config etc, and also using a custom override could break it for other modules as you noted. -- Greg
[fw-general] Route Namespaces + InjectTemplateListener
Looking at the Skeletal app, I made the following changes
1. Moved the Controller director to src/Application/Admin
2. Moved the view index directory to view/application/admin.
3. Added namespace Application\Admin\Controller to the 'home' route
4. Changed the default route namespace to Application\Admin\Controller
5. Changed the invokables configuation to Application\Admin\Controller\Index
6. Created the controller
src/Application/Admin/Controller/IndexController.php
I then got the following error:
Unable to render template "application/controller/index/index";
I'm thinking this should still of worked and should look for
application/admin/index/index.
Looking at the comment in
InjectTemplateListener::deriveControllerSubNamespace
// Remove the first two elements representing the module and controller
directory.
Makes me wonder if this assumption is too rigid?
Since it seems like all defined namespaces in the route config must end
with \Controller, I'm wondering if deriveControllerSubNamespace should just
remove the term Controller from the end of $namespace and then just remove
the first segment of the namespace (i.e the module name)?
Making those changes to deriveControllerSubNamespace seems to work
protected function deriveControllerSubNamespace($namespace)
{
if (!strstr($namespace, '\\')) {
return '';
}
if ('Controller' == substr($namespace, -10)) {
$namespace = substr($namespace, 0, -11);
}
$nsArray = explode('\\', $namespace);
// Remove the first two elements representing the module and controller
directory.
$subNsArray = array_slice($nsArray, 1);
if (empty($subNsArray)) {
return '';
}
return implode('/', $subNsArray);
}
Some extra tweaking would probably be needed if the module has no namespace
(i.e. line 99 of InjectTemplateListener.php).
Or have I misunderstood something in the configuration?

Re: [fw-general] Different ZF directories depending on installation choice
Ok sorry ... I'm trying to catch up / understand in some regards ... my main concern is identifying whether a commitment has to made early on to using a composer setup and how significant of an impact it would be to introduce later on (updating other checkouts etc). Seems like if there is a chance of adopting composer later on then its better to start with it to begin with.

[fw-general] Re: [zf-contributors] ZF2 command line tool?
I haven't looked, but it makes me wonder if the tool can list all available commands, i,e you don't have to target a specific module to see the list of commands for that module? That hints towards the thought which I'm not sure how feasible or absolutely why/possible, but for example, listing/dumping the configuration for the entire application. Service definitions? Autoloader configuration? Registered Listeners? Anything that is configured during the bootstrap process? Not sure if routes could be done? Available Events?

[fw-general] MvcEventManager (or EventServiceManger)
After looking at the ViewManager, I'm even more now under the belief that some EventManagers should be able to pull listeners from the application config via the SM. In the case of the ViewManager(s) these would no longer be needed. And more beneficially, it seems that the event listeners that are currently being created and registered in the ViewManager's onBootstrap method would then only be created on demand - thats a lot less objects and pre-initialization (or listener registrations), and in some cases for events that might not even occur in that request. I was originally thinking that there could just be an MvcEventManager which would have a dependency on the SM. For example, if the MvcApplication had an MvcEventManager then the bootstrap method would not need to attach any listeners at all. I previously created a gist of this here <https://gist.github.com/3422930>. Pulling from the config, may only be suitable in particulars areas due to the status of the autoloader, i.e it should work for MvcEvents but might not work for all of the ModuleManager events (loadModules). -- Greg

[fw-general] Slim ZF2 Application
I've been looking at what it would mean to have a bare minimal application
bootstrap, i.e no modules (or ModuleManager) and just one single
application.config.php file for routes, controllers, and service_manager
directives.
This is an interesting exercise not only because it could provide a slim
ZF2 framework, but also because it shows how the Module Manager could be
decoupled and become an optional add on, e.g if a module is specified in
the config then use it.
Some observations:
These configurations could be added to the Mvc\Service\ServiceManageConfig
'RouteListener' => 'Zend\Mvc\RouteListener',
'DispatchListener' => 'Zend\Mvc\DispatchListener',
Moved all of the factory configurations from the
Mvc\Service\ServiceListenerFactory to the ServiceManagerConfig. The
ServiceListenerFactory actually ended up not being used at all.
Added a Default ControllerLoader to the ServiceManagerConfig which would
configure the ControllerManager with the controllers config from
application.config.php.
'ControllerLoader' => 'Zend\Mvc\Service\ControllerLoaderDefaultFactory',
public function createService(ServiceLocatorInterface $serviceLocator)
{
$configuration = $serviceLocator->get('Config');
$cConfig = isset($configuration['controllers']) ?
$configuration['controllers'] : array();
$controllerLoader = new \Zend\Mvc\Controller\ControllerManager(new
\Zend\ServiceManager\Config($cConfig));
$controllerLoader->setServiceLocator($serviceLocator);
$controllerLoader->addPeeringServiceManager($serviceLocator);
return $controllerLoader;
}
At this point, without invoking the ModuleManager or loadingModules, the
Mvc\Application init method reduced to
public static function init($configuration = array())
{
$smConfig = isset($configuration['service_manager']) ?
$configuration['service_manager'] : array();
$serviceManager = new ServiceManager(new
Service\ServiceManagerConfig($smConfig));
$serviceManager->setService('Config', $configuration);
//$serviceManager->setService('ApplicationConfig', $configuration);
//$serviceManager->get('ModuleManager')->loadModules();
return $serviceManager->get('Application')->bootstrap();
}
This still provides view templates and layouts via the ViewManager and
view_manager application.config.php settings.
The question I suppose it so what? Well its bare minimal, alternatively for
me I suppose, its been a way of getting my teeth into what happening.
However it does potentially show that it should be possible to decouple the
ModuleManager and more easily clearly show what overrides are needed in
order to support modules.
Anyhow, just sharing some some of my thoughts towards what could be a slim
ZF2 framework. Took some sweat figuring out the ControllerLoader, so you
might as well hear about it :)

[fw-general] Decouple the SendResponseListener from the View Manager?
In Mvc\Application::bootstrap there is
$events->attach($serviceManager->get('RouteListener'));
$events->attach($serviceManager->get('DispatchListener'));
$events->attach($serviceManager->get('ViewManager'));
And SendResponseListener is part of the ViewManager.
I'm wondering if the ResponseListener should be attached in the bootstrap
instead? E.g
$events->attach($serviceManager->get('ResponseListener'));
This would move the SendResponseListener out of the View namespace which
seems better since it doesn't use or require any View objects?

[fw-general] [ZF2] Overriding Zend\Mvc\Application and/or its Factory
config/application.config.php return array( 'service_manager' => array( //'use_defaults' => true, 'factories'=> array( //'Application' => 'Zend\Mvc\Service\ApplicationFactory', 'Application' => 'Application\Mvc\Service\ApplicationFactory', ), ), ); What config options are required to specify which Mvc\ApplicationFactory to use?

A while ago, I did end up going down another route, and made some progress via the service_listener_options, however once it was set up for the Application factory config, things went south, because the code or configuration pertaining to 'Config' => Zend\Mvc\Service\ConfigFactory, which may of been just because it was the next entry in the defaultServicesConfig? I don't have the config options for what I tried awhile back anymore, but it was to do with: $serviceListener->addServiceManager( $newServiceManager['service_manager'], $newServiceManager['config_key'], $newServiceManager['interface'], $newServiceManager['method'] ); So how in the global config/application.config.php file is it possible to override the 'Application' service? Would it be feasible to see the global config/application.config.php file specify all the default services that the ServiceListenerFactory setups, and allow users to easily swap them out via the global config file, even as example test case? -- Greg
Re: [fw-general] ZF2 Documentation
I haven't tried to follow much recently. Honestly, until such time that I see decent documentation pertaining to /config/application.config.php, I won't be happy (and I'm not going to track down those who know to then write it up). Sorry... To explain, a couple months ago I tried to figure out how to specify my own Application class, and naturally thought it can be easily done in global config file, and trying to make it work drew me to a brick wall (if I recall it was due to the ServiceListenerFactory), it turned out be a simple one liner in modules/Application/config/module.config.php, by then I was struggling to perceive the intentions and goals (reading the code doesn't always clarify this any better). Either its a bug or needs documentation. I'd like to see a configuration file with every single option specified with comments, even if the option is commented out. I realize that it will (hopefully) come out in the wash. Until then... Regards, -- Greg

[fw-general] Re: [zf-contributors] ZF2 EventManager now in ZF1 trunk
Hi Matthew, I'm concerned that this code is being pushed into ZF1 so soon. In my mind (tonight), PHP event driven programming boils down to how processes are either registered or implemented. And with the right SOA this isn't really a problem. Furthermore, registering event listeners/handlers in PHP from a performance point of of view could happen in various ways (some may still be unknown to me). Yet in another thread you stated that in the next ZF2 beta release you would like to iron out if and how event listeners can be retrieved from the DIC. This concerns me in that we may now end up going down a 'bolted on' path within ZF1 (and ZF2). As you know, I am extremely concerned by the usage of the StaticEventManager. I would also say, that as you previously stated that this concept was modeled after a Java implementation, that I am concerned about its usage in PHP. Back then when I read the Java documentation (which I can't find anymore), it was not very elaborate, but given that static usage in a Java web application is significantly different than within PHP as that static Java resources persist across all web requests, it leads me to believe that the static usage in Java is only for low level processes, e.g cache, profiling etc - although it was not very explicitly stated as such in their documentation. However, to date in ZF2 the usage of the StaticEventManager is for high level processes that cannot be contained, as you say, within the object the graph. I would like to see event handlers, but I would rather wait to see it solidified in ZF2, with well defined use cases, prior to it being back ported to ZF1. This suggests to me, that we would need to see a ZF1 DIC implementation first.

Re: [fw-general] Multiple spl_autoload registered handlers
Hi Ralph,
>
> Thats not true. Autoloaders that are shipped with code should only be
> responsible for loading the code they are responsible for (in the least).
Ok, I can agree with that. But thats were overheads can occur
depending on the implementation of the rest of the spl registered
handlers.
As example, suppose the StandardAutoloader has a registered namespace.
And when the StandardAutoload::autoload function is called and it
determines that the class name is for that namespace but the class can
not be located then by returning false, the next registered spl
autoloader is called - but we just determined that the autoloader
shipped for that namespace could not find the class - so whats the
point in asking any of the other autoloaders?
For example, we want to find the Url view helper, heres our registered
helper namespaces/prefixes.
$prefixes = array(
'Default_View_Helper_',
'\Application\View\Helper\',
'Zend_View_Helper_'
);
foreach($prefixes as $p) {
$class = $p . 'Url';
if (class_exists($p . 'Url')) {
return $this->helper['Url'] = new $class();
}
}
If there are two spl registered handlers, ClassMap (which knows all of
the classes in the application) and the StandardAutoloader (and in ZF2
lets say it is fallback enabled). Then if 'Default_View_Helper_Url'
does not exist in the ClassMap Autoloader why should the fallback
strategy of the StandardAutoloader even be executed - it would be a
waste of time and i/o (which for ZF1 is not possible to prevent, if I
can recall, unless there is only one registered spl autoloader).
Its fine, I can work with what is there.

As much as I appreciate that the zf2-quickstart example, is exactly that, but it does somewhat exemplify the point I'm trying to make since in that example, the StandardAutoloader would execute given the namespaces registered even though there are class maps also - I realize it is just example code.

In my opinion, therein lays the problem. Each handler's register method is registering with spl_autoload_register, which the developer cannot halt if a class for a particular namespace is not found, since the handler's autoload method typically returns false, causing the spl_autoloader to move onto the next registered handler (there is no way of preventing _spl_ from continuing?). For example, say the StandardAutoloader is registered and has had namespace 'Ant' registered with it. And another handler is also registered with the spl_autoload_register (similar to what's in the quickstart). Then if class_exists is called for 'Ant\test', the standard autoloader will return false (since it doesn't exist), causing the spl_autoloader to move onto the next registered handler when it shouldn't, especially when chances are none of the other handlers know anything about that namespace. So instead, I'm thinking, there should be only one (stack like) handler registered via spl_autoload_register, and any other handlers would register with that single stack like handler instead of directly registering with the spl_autoloader. This would give the handler a way to indicate that the autoloading mechanism should halt its process and not waste any more cycles or file/io lookups. For example, with the ZF1 code I wanted to try an optimize the autoloading mechanism after introducing the Class Map back port you provided. Try making that handler the only autoloader for ZF1, its not clean. And with a class map to hand there is no need for the View Helper to file hunt, try changing file_exists to class_exists and notice the unnecessary subsequent autoloader calls if more than one handler is registered with spl.

In the above 'overriding' is the 'preferred' class to use, else use a
default one (which doesn't have to be of the same namespace).

Even with the prepend flag it doesn't alleviate the problem, because
if 'Class A' is not found in the first registered autoloader, all of
the other (if any) autoloaders are then called - which in the above
example would be unnecessary.
To me the problem is somewhat similar to finding a ZF1 View Helper, it
iterates through until it finds one.
My point, or preference is, is that we should try and encourage only
registering one autoloader handler for the application. I've also
wonder it should be similar to ZF1's plugin priority stack, which may
also then provide the developer more control of the execution stack
(if needed). I realize that in ZF2 this may not be an issue if say
only the Class Map autoloader is the only registered handler.
For example, if the handler could prevent the autloader stack from
automatically continuing onto calling the subsequent registered
handlers because the one for that namespace knows it could not find
and that none of the handlers will either.

[fw-general] Multiple spl_autoload registered handlers
I'm not sure whether this may be an issue in the end or not. But I am
reading reference to fallback autoloader handlers which causes me
concern if the developer has to go through hoops to ensure that the
application only has one spl_autoload registered handler. My concern
here is that if a call to class_exists is used to determine whether a
custom (project/module specific) class should be loaded instead of a
default class I realize that there might be some grounds of a DI
but the following code is what concerns me:
if (false === class_exists('ClassA')) { //dynamically check to see if
a local overriding class exists via the autoloader
$class = new DefaultClass();
} else {
$class = new ClassA();
}
Having multiple registered spl_autoload handlers will incur
unnecessary cycles, and the developer will not have the ability of
controlling the autoloading stack (e.g circumventing it), I'm
wondering if it would be better to have one registered handler similar
to the ZF1 plugin priority stack.

Re: [fw-general] ZF, Doctrine Integration. i made an architectural error over Models.
There are other ways, but it might not be unfeasible to create a
listQuery action helper which would combine the search helper's query
and the controllers DQL. E.g in the Story controller
$query = $this->_helper->pagerQuery('Model_Entity_Story_PagerQuery', true);
$pager = $this->_helper->pagination($query);
Where the pagerQuery helper creates a Model_Entity_Story_PagerQuery
that is a Doctrine_Query object which can then be passed to the
pagination helper (Doctrine_Pager). Alternatively,
$pager = $this->_helper->pager('Model_Entity_Story_PagerQuery', true);
Where the search and pagination helpers assign the respective
properties to the Query object.

[fw-general] dijit theme in layout scripts?
Hi all!
I have Dojo working great in my bootstrap/loader, controllers and view
scripts, but I would like to use a few Dojo Dijits in my Layouts.
Particularly in some partials for navigation.
In the layout script I have just a simple button for now:
$btnTasks = new Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_Button('btnTasks');
$btnTasks->setAttribs(array(
'onClick' => "window.location.replace('task');",
'label' => 'Tasks'
));
Which renders this:
btnTasks
The "dojo" portion of this works, I get a button and it works, but there's
no theme or styles rendered. It's just a standard, ugly form button. The
theme and styles work great in controllers and views, just not in the
layout. Which is odd, because part of the layout is calling the
"addStyleSheetModule" for Dojo.
Any idea why the styles are not working on the layouts only?
Thanks for your help!

[fw-general] PHPUnit Cannot override final method Zend_Controller_Action::_forward()
Hi, When running PHPUnit I get the following error OK (1 test, 1 assertion) Generating code coverage report, this may take a moment. Fatal error: Cannot override final method Zend_Controller_Action::_forward() in modules/default/controllers/IndexController.php on line 20 I'm using PHPUnit 3.4.11 and ZF 1.10.1 And when I remove the final declaration from the _forward method I also run into another problem where it throws a fatal error that a particular controller class cannot be redeclared - there are several other controllers that extend this one and I tried to change the require statements to require_once but that didn't work. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, -- Greg
[fw-general] Action controller view variable assignments (also question regarding 2.0 Compatibility)
Elsewhere I posed a thought a about automatically assigning variables
to the view within the Action Controller and it was said that this
might not be compatible either with ZF 2.0 or the way that Action
Helpers interact with contoller variables.
However I'm still unsure as why in the case of Action Helpers this
might be a problem.
The following is what I had in mind:
public function &__get($key) {
if ('_' === substr($key, 0, 1) || !isset($this->_data[$key])) {
trigger_error('Key "'.$key.'" does not exist',
E_USER_NOTICE);
$result = null;
return $result;
}
return $this->_data[$key];
}
public function __set($key, $value)
{
if ('_' === substr($key, 0, 1)) {
throw new VF_Exception('Setting ... is not allowed');
}
$this->_data[$key] = $value;
if (isset($this->view)) {
$this->view->assign($key, $value);
}
}
Although not 100% elegant, it does present a means to working around
when two action methods then have to handle view variable assignment
(generally for the same view script).
Otherwise some common method would need to be available to the Action
Controller?
I'm running into two types of cases of view variable assignments:
[1] Those that are actually used by the Controller, e.g form
[2] Supplementary data used within the view script.
For [2] I'm thinking this could/should probably be handled by a View
Helper instead.
It would be great to know how others are handling their view variable
assignments prior to view script being rendered. Or there are any
problems perceived with using the magic methods above.?
Thanks,
[fw-general] Pdo Pgsql serialized session data truncating
Its seems like there is some kind of isssue (or bug) when using the Pdo_Pgsql adapter for session handling (Zend_Session) and the session data is being truncated I'm starting to think it is the php PDO pgsql driver itself, or its execute method. Does anyone know if this is a known problem, or not experienced this problem with the postgres pdo driver? Are there any workarounds or solutions I might try? -- Greg
Re: [fw-general] Re: A question about bootstrapping modules
I use something based on the following, merging the configs also allows the admin to extend (override) the default config production settings, e.g. in the default module the session.name might be 'app' and in the admin it might be set to 'admin-app', but the rest of the session settings as speficied in the default config would be used (only the session name is overridden). file: /config.ini [production] default.module = 'default' session.name = 'app' session.domain = 'test.com' database.name = 'app_prod' [development] database.name = 'app_dev' file: /admin/config.ini [production] default.module = 'admin' session.name = 'admin-app' [development] file: /index.php setBootstrap(APPLICATION_PATH.'/bootstrap/Bootstrap.php', 'Bootstrap') ->bootstrap() ->run(); file: /admin/index.php merge(new Zend_Config_Ini( APPLICATION_PATH.'/configs/admin/application.ini', APPLICATION_BOOTSTRAP_MODE)); $application = new Zend_Application(APPLICATION_ENV, $config); $application->setBootstrap(APPLICATION_PATH.'/bootstrap/Bootstrap.php', 'Bootstrap') ->bootstrap() ->run();

Re: [fw-general] Re: A question about bootstrapping modules
One way to achieve this is to have separate bootstrap index.php files, i.e /admin/index.php which would then specify a specific config file to use which merges with the main (default module) config. Both config.ini specify the default module, and because of merging the two configs setting the default module to be admin in the admin config.ini will allow you to determine which specific controller directory to specify. $module = isset($options['module']) ? $options['module'] : 'default'; $frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance(); $frontController->setControllerDirectory(APPLICATION_PATH.'/modules/'.$module.'/controllers', $module) The module Directory is not specified since it will read admin, and default as available modules to bootstrap. If you google, Matthew mentioned another method that someone used whereby using a controller plugin to only call iniActive methods for the current module - but for me that still meant loading a module bootstrap class which would wouldn't be required in this particular usage.
Re: [fw-general] why is every module bootstrap executed during initialization?
A work around could be to not specify the modules directory but
instead specify the controller directory of the module in question (in
Application/Bootstrap) - in this case each module would have their own
bootstrap (index.php) script and the current module name could be
specified in a respective config file - so potentially there would be
two bootstrap classes executed, one for the Application/Bootstrap and
then the respective Module/Bootstrap.

[fw-general] Zend_Ldap ZF 1.9 account Canonical Form
Hi, I seem to be having difficulties connecting to the ldap server (which I'm told they think is an AD). What it seems to be boiling down to is that Zend_Ldap is building the canonical username dn from the supplied username and the baseDn. From what I read it seems that in order to build the username dn the username dn and password must be passed as the config options before building the username dn for any other given username - which in some senses is kind of odd. Instead what I had to resort to was to build the username dn, and set the password into the config array prior to using the Zend_Ldap connector. Because if the username option is not in a dn format and the accountCanonicalForm is 1 (DN) then the initial ldap_bind even though it returns not false (i.e a respource) the subsequent search then fails because the bind did not have the correct credentials (ie. authorised and correct username dn). So the following will not work $options = array( 'host' => 'ldap.server.net', 'port' => 636, 'useSsl' => true, 'accountCanonicalForm' => 1, 'baseDn' => 'OU=People,DC=server,DC=net', 'bindRequiresDn' => true, ); $ldap = new Zend_Ldap($options); $canonicalName = $ldap->getCanonicalAccountName($username, Zend_Ldap::ACCTNAME_FORM_DN); Is there something to config that I'm missing, I have tried specifying various account Filters... but it seems to be the underlying issuer is that $username used in the initial ldap_bind is not in dn form unless set as part of the config options. -- Greg
[fw-general] Parameters and redirects
Hi all, I have just sent the below message from a different account, but there seems to have been some problem in my subscription and the message hasn't been circulated. I have checked the archives and can only apologise if the message does finally appear and I end up double posting. A simple one I hope... I'm trying to put together a redirect request, based on parameters from an original request. Essentially, I want to replace one parameter and then redirect the request with all the additional original parameters. I could do something like this, but can't help thinking there must be a nicer way. $params = $this->_getAllParams(); $params['new_param'] = 'some new param value'; unset($params['old_param']); unset($params['action']); unset($params['controller']); unset($params['module']); $this->_helper->Redirector->gotoRoute($params,'newRoute'); Obviously the bit I'm most unhappy about is having to unset the controller, action and module name to prevent these being passed as params to the new route. I thought $this->_request->getUserParams() might have done the trick, but unfortunately not. It works, but its not nice... Any advice most welcome. :wq

I have the form displaying as I want it now, but when it comes to receiving and validating the multifiles, am I meant to do anything special? I'm still exploring, but it seems the only way I can get it to work at the moment is by modifying isValid and receive on Element_File and making them build the array of names to pass to the adapter methods (so if($this->isArray()), loop using $this->_counter and build up an array of $name.'_'.$i values to use in place of $this->getName() as the argument to $adapter->isValid()/$adapter->receive(), in both cases - http://pastie.org/292898 maybe makes this clearer) - if I don't do this, then I get an undefined index 'name' on 1150 of File_Transfer_Adapter_Abstract.

[fw-general] Form_Decorator_File issues with multiFile
Hi,
I'm trying to make use of the multiFile option for the Form_Element_File
component, but having a bit of trouble. In all my forms so far, I've used
array('Label', 'ViewHelper', 'Errors') with setElementDecorators() at the
end of adding elements to the form, and it's worked just fine (including
with individual type='file' elements), but with multiFile set, I still
just get the one input actually rendered. I did a bit of digging, and it
seems that the specific File decorator isn't being used, I just assumed
ViewHelper would work that out, but seemingly not. Firstly then, is there
anyway I can tell the form/element at the time of adding the multiFile
that I want to set some decorators, and not have them over-written by a
call to setElementDecorators later on?
Second, it seems that the File decorator is losing the content of any
other decorators its used alongside (Label and Errors, for example).
Looking at the code, it's only returning its own markup, and there's no
reference to $content after its passed in - should it not be doing the
append/prepend logic that the other decorators seem to?
Greg.
[fw-general] File uploads when using Subforms doesn't seem to work
Hi, I'm trying to get file uploads working, with Zend_Form_Element_File, where the element sits inside a subform. I've put together a small form that exhibits the problem, form-code (http://pastie.org/284170) and when I submit the form, I get the error: Notice: Undefined index: name in /var/www/[vhost]/library/Zend/File/Transfer/Adapter/Abstract.php on line 743 and the value for the file element is just '../data/tmp/'. It seems that while the Transfer_Adapter is preparing the files array and takes account of the array-indexing used by the subform, when the 'value' is passed through to do the validation, it's being left out. The contents of the _files property of the adapter is here (http://pastie.org/284174), and I can't figure out what's going on past that. If I add the file-element to the form ($this->addElement() instead of $sub_form->addElement()), everything works as I'd expect it to - no Notice, and the value contains a filename, not just folder.

[fw-general] Call actions via CLI
Hi all, I'm currently using curl to call some actions at timed intervals using cron. This is a far from ideal method, but has provided a quick fix for now. I'd much prefer to call the actions via CLI, but I notice that there is currently no way to handle such requests. I appreciate there is currently a proposal in placed for Zend_Controller_Request_Cli (http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Controller_Request_Cli ), but this doesn't looked to have been touched for some time. Just wondering if there are any plans afoot to proceed with a CLI request object, or how others are currently using ZF with the CLI. :wq Greg.

It's an edge case at best, a 30 second task for Google, or a 10 second task to copy and pasting from an existing code base. Regular expressions for URL validation are not in short supply.

Anyone know why CASE_FOLDING seems to only work in one direction?

What is gained by using Zend_Registry? Seems to me I could more
easily use the existing PHP $GLOBALS or even $GLOBALS['registry'] if I
wanted/needed a namespace.
Zend_Registry::set('index', $value);
versus
$GLOBALS['index'] = $value;
$value = Zend_Registry::get('index');
versus
$value = $GLOBALS['index'];
foreach ($registry as $index => $value) {
echo "Registry index $index contains:\n";
var_dump($value);
}
versus
foreach ($GLOBALS['registry'] as $index => $value) {
echo "Registry index $index contains:\n";
var_dump($value);
}

Actually, you *can* add additional decorators of the same class using
aliasing. Try this:
ViewHelper
Label
HtmlTag
div
input_password
HtmlTag
p
The relevant parts are the and decorators -- notice that the
type in each is an array consisting of a single key/value pair -- the
key is the internal alias by which you'll refer to it, and the value
is
the actual decorator type.
That said, you probably want to use the element description for
setting
that particular content, and then add a 'Description' decorator to
your
decorator stack.

I wish values for each option to be numeric, however numeric values are not valid XML element names as passed in via the multiOptions block.

I appreciate I could set the options on this element from within my code, but I would rather avoid this if at all possible. :eq Greg Frith.

[fw-general] Routing problem
Hi all,
I'm having some routing problems which I don't necessarily think the
group are going to be able to answer directly, but maybe give me some
pointers as to how I may debug further.
I have developed a site on my local machine where everything is
working just fine. Yesterday I copied the site over to a second
development server for my colleagues to start reviewing. However, on
the development server I'm getting an awful lot of
Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Exception exceptions thrown with the
message 'Invalid controller specified ().
I say an awful lot as not every request results in this. My default
index controller works fine, as does my Book controller, but all
others fail (please note that book controller is the real thing, and
not a typical library book example file! Its part of a booking
process). My directory structure is as follows:
www/application/
www/application/config/
www/application/modules/
www/application/modules/default/
www/application/modules/default/controller/
www/application/modules/default/controller/BookController.php
www/application/modules/default/controller/ComingSoonController.php
www/application/modules/default/controller/IndexController.php
www/application/modules/default/controller/StaticPagesController.php
www/application/modules/default/views/
www/application/templates/
www/htdocs/ <- doc root
As I say, the BookController and IndexController work fine, but
ComingSoonController and StaticPagesController are not found.
During a request for /comingsoon/index the request object looks like
this:
2007-08-15T08:03:32+01:00 DEBUG (7): Zend_Controller_Request_Http Object
(
[_requestUri:protected] => /default/ComingSoon/index/
[_baseUrl:protected] =>
[_basePath:protected] =>
[_pathInfo:protected] => /default/ComingSoon/index/
[_params:protected] => Array
(
[module] => default
[controller] => ComingSoon
[action] => index
)
[_aliases:protected] => Array
(
)
[_dispatched:protected] => 1
[_module:protected] => default
[_moduleKey:protected] => module
[_controller:protected] => ComingSoon
[_controllerKey:protected] => controller
[_action:protected] => index
[_actionKey:protected] => action

So the correct modules, controller and action parameters are being
taken from the URL.
All the controllers are working fine with exactly the same code on a
local development machine. The only real difference being the the
development machine has a local hostname and uses Apache Virtual
Hosts, whereas the new testing server on which the site fails is
accessed over the internet via its IP address. There is no domain
registered against it.
Some relevant lines from my bootstrap:
// Get front controller
$controller = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$modules = array('default',"$modulesDir/default/controller/");
$controller->setControllerDirectory($modules);
* NOTE THE ABOVE LINES HAVE BEEN ADDED TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE
ISSUE, THEY WERE NOT REQUIRED ON THE WORKING SERVER *
// Add some additional routes - if we keep these they should come
from a config
$router = $controller->getRouter();
$router->addRoute('shows', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route
('shows/:event',
array('controller'=>'findashow','action'=>'showInfo')));
$router->addRoute('InsiderTips',new Zend_Controller_Router_Route
('insidertips/:article',
array('controller'=>'staticPages',
'artion'=>'index',
'article'=>'insidertips',
'category'=>'insidertips')));
$router->addRoute('whyus',new Zend_Controller_Router_Route
('whyus/:article',
array('controller'=>'staticPages',
'artion'=>'index',
'article'=>'whyus',
'category'=>'whyus')));
$router->addRoute('whybookapackage',new Zend_Controller_Router_Route
('whybookapackage/:article',
array('controller'=>'staticPages',
'artion'=>'index',
'article'=>'whybookapackage',
'category'=>'whybookapackage')));
Could anyone suggest any where I might start looking and debugging
further? Perhaps somewhere where the actual path to the action
controller is generated and an attempt is made to instantiate the
class might give me some clues as to what's going wrong?
