RE: [fw-general] What is the fourth parameter of pagination control?

[Matt Pearson]

Hi There,

This sounds like a problem I was struggling with recently when I was
also deploying Zend_Paginator on a search results page.


>1. $this->getRequest()->getParams() returns too much info, such as
>controller, action and module. I need just my parameters and I don't
know
>how to do this with Zend.

getParams() receives data from multiple sources and sometimes isn't
exactly  what you need getQuery() will provide you with the $_GET
variables only, or you could use setParamSources() to limit what you
receive from getParams()


>2. In my test, instead of having the proper URL even for search_text I

>There is an extra "0" and no "search" thus I am handling this array
wrong.

Remember that calls to $this->url() from the pagination partial will
take into account any routes that you defined in your front controller.
In effect, you are sending the array (
[page]  => 2,
[0]  => 'search_text'
)
to your default route.


>3. My tests only allow one parameter, I would really like to send all
>three.

You can easily set up a custom router that can take those three
parameters. I only needed to include two, but this is what I did for
mine


In the front controller:


$router = $front->getRouter();


$route = new
Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex('search/([^\/]*)(/([0-9]*))?',
array(
'module' => 'search',
'controller' =>'index',
'action' =>'results'
),
array(
1 => 'q',
2 => 'page'
),
"search/%s/%s"
);

$router->addRoute('search', $route);

In my Paginator partial:




next)): ?>
  
Next >
  

  Next >




I hope that's some help. There is no need to use sessions to do this.

With regarding to Zend Pagination Control's fourth parameter:

I have the same application as this user, I want to "carry over" URL
parameters with the pagination control for searching, filtering, and
custom
use.

I nearly have this figured out but in the absence of a good example I
cannot
get it working.

To test it I have tried this in my script when setting up a
paginationControl:

paginationControl($this->paginator, 'Sliding',
'partials/pagination.phtml', array("search" => "search_text")); ?>

What I actually want to carry over from page to page is a URL parameters
equal to:

?search=search_text&filter=custom_filter&custom=my_custom_command

I thought in my controller I could do this:

$url_params = $this->getRequest()->getParams();
$this->view->url_params = $url_params;  

And then send this somehow as an array to my partial.

In my test for partial I have this (testing on the 'next' link,
presumably
I'm going to have to incorporate this on *every* link):


next)): ?>
|  " $this->next,
$this->search)); ?>">Next
>  |

| Next > |



Multiple problems:

1. $this->getRequest()->getParams() returns too much info, such as
controller, action and module. I need just my parameters and I don't
know
how to do this with Zend.

2. In my test, instead of having the proper URL even for search_text I
have:
http://quickstart/data/index/page/2/0/search_text

There is an extra "0" and no "search" thus I am handling this array
wrong.

3. My tests only allow one parameter, I would really like to send all
three.

I would prefer not to use sessions as per the other suggestions if Zend
already has this built in.

Please assist.

[fw-general] Migrating to Zend Session

[Matt Pearson]

Hi there,

I'm migrating an application from PEAR HTTP_Session to Zend_Session.
Most of the HTTP_Session functionality is replicated in Zend_Session,
but there is one method that I can't think of an equivalent for;
isExpired().

I was rather hoping that Zend_Session would have an isExpired() method,
like Zend_HTTP_Cookie does. 

Can anybody suggest a test I can do on Zend Session, or a session
namespace object to see if the session is expired?

Thanks

Matt

RE: [fw-general] Coping with Old-style GET vars.

[Matt Pearson]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your help. As it turns out, I was doing more than one thing
wrong, but Matthew mentioning getQuery() put me on the right track.

The Framework app that I'm working sits inside a non-framework app,
therefore much of this is specific to the environment I'm working in.
Just in case its any help to anyone else. Here is what I did.

I noticed app.php getting odd URIs like this:

app.php?app/search?q=search+word

This was causing the GET vars from the request to disappear, so I
modified my rewrite rule as follows:

RewriteRule ^/app/(.*) /app.php?$1 [L]

Became:

RewriteRule ^/app/(.*)$ /app.php?%{REQUEST_FILENAME}&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]


I changed my controller to read from getQuery() as well as getParam(),so
that I could read the value of q whichever way it came through.

I then modified the calls to the URL helper in the view to sort out the
Paginator links.

Thanks again

Matt

Within your controller, you have a couple of different ways to retrieve
this value:

  * via _getParam: $this->_getParam('q'). This actually proxies to the
request object's getParam() method, which searches first for
parameters matched on the route, then GET, then POST.

  * via the request object's getQuery() method:
$this->getRequest()->getQuery('q');

> How do I get routes like Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex to use the
> portion after the '?'

You don't. You'll have to do one of two things:

  * Extend the Regex route to merge $_GET parameters into the array of
matched parameters

  * Create a RewriteCond to match the query string and rewrite the URL:

RewriteCond %{query_string} ^q=([^&]*)$
RewriteRule ^/?app/search  /app/search/q/%1

Note that I haven't tested the above, but the idea is that it
searches for a "q" parameter in URLs with /app/search, and then
rewrites the url to add it into the URL itself.

[fw-general] Coping with Old-style GET vars.

[Matt Pearson]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with GET forms submitting to controllers within the
framework.

I have a GET form in a page outside of the Zend Framework app. It does a
normal GET to the search controller of my Framework app like this (I
have a custom route set up)

/app/search?q=query

However, my search controller can't get a value for 'q' and the custom
routes all seem to strip off the portion of the url after the '?' !

How do I get routes like Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex to use the
portion after the '?'

I have tried disabling all my routes and using the 'real' Framework
path. This works:

/app/search/index/results?q=query

But then I have the problem that my Zend Paginator links become things
like:

 /app/search/index/results/page/1

Which doesn't work, because it omits the search query.

When URIs are in /proper/framework/format everything is fine. I've seen
people use Javascript to get around this problem, but I don't want to
make my site Javascript dependent.

Can anyone help? I'm sure there is something obvious that I'm doing
wrong.

For full disclosure; here are my Apache rules:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f[OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 
RewriteRule ^/app/(.*) /app.php?$1 [L]

(My front controller defines /app as the BaseUrl)

Thanks

Yes, in the end I did find Zend_Search_Lucene_Query::getQueryTerms() ;)

I need to pass an array of query terms to another object. Is there a way

It seems like quite an intensive approach to me, but I can't think of

[fw-general] contributing to Zend Search Lucene

[Matt Pearson]

Hi there,

 

I'm currently working on a search function for my employer using Zend
Search Lucene. The idea is to display search results in much the same
way as Google/Nutch

I've had to extend the existing ZSL code to be able to create 'snippets'
(highlighted document fragments)  with a fragmenter, and some (very
small) changes to the highlighter.

 

I was wondering if this would be of any use to the framework, or whether
somebody is already working on this. I've noticed quite a few people
asking for this kind of functionality on the net.

 

Thanks
