Re: [fw-general] AbstractRestfulController and HTML

[Peter Warnock]

David,

IMHO, XHR has become the predominant way for web apps to execute these 
additional methods in the browser.

If you really want the old behavior using a query param, it looks like you can 
attach a dispatch listener to the controller with a higher priority and set the 
action in the RouteMatch object.

Another approach would be to specify the action in child routes; the dispatch 
should fall back to the behavior of a standard action controller.

It's not a good idea to use Zend_Db_Table as a service layer; it's a data 
source pattern designed to keep SQL out of the application.  Create a service 
class that defines the API and encapsulates the business logic of the service 
you are designing.

I would only cache if it's visibly slow, or you're running out of memory. If
you're going to cache, cache the output since most of the overhead is used

Re: [fw-general] How to get session namespace value

[Peter Warnock]

The init method is a good solution, but I had to take it one step farther
and register it in the Zend_Registry collection. I was using an action
helper and discovered that I had instantiated two different objects. While I
was adding data in the action, the action helper did not realize the
additions. By using the registry, both the action and action helper now
reference the same object.

Re: [fw-general] Clarification needed about "Zend" and its products

[Peter Warnock]

I prefer Zend Framework because it has a large and active community,
corporate contributions from Google, IBM, Adobe, StrikeIron, et al, quick
iterations, and a solid object-oriented design patterns.

I was into Symfony until Fabien and Francois had their falling out.  Now it
seems like the project lacks clear leadership.

My biggest pet peeve with Cake, is its PHP4 compatibility.  I view this as a
roadblock, because it prevents using the latest capabilities and
optimizations.

The main requirement for Zend Framework is PHP 5.2. I've seen it used with
Nginx reverse-proxing to a back-end app server using FastCGI, which will
scale far better and ultimately out perform a standard LAMP stack. In that
example, the app server was running APC just fine.  Opcode cachers are not a
part of the framework. They are a part of the server environment.

Zend_Cache is most useful at decreasing the number of function calls in the
execution of a script.  You can cache the entire frontend, or specific
components, like database calls where the data doesn't change frequently.
You can select different cache backends like File, APC, MemCache, etc. to
store the output.

Zend Optimizer is really an encoder (
http://www.ducea.com/2006/10/30/php-accelerators/). It more or less defeats
the purpose of open-source.

When you find out of date documentation, the best thing you can do is get
involved in the community.

I hope you stick around. - pw

Re: [fw-general] Using Zend Layout for module not main application

[Peter Warnock]

In a 1-off scenario, I prefer method 3. No config necessary.

Zend_Layout::startMvc();

$this->_helper->layout->setLayout('foobaz');

Actually, that route would not catch.  The action has not been defined.
Just drop module from the route and it will map services to the controller
and web-development to the action.

Re: [fw-general] Zend Framework 2.0

Rackspace supports a custom build of 5.2 on RHEL.

While distro/php versions probably will always be a factor to some degree,
putting too much weight on that as a deciding factor will lead to

upgrade from other repos, but I think you lose whatever 'enterprise support'
you might get (probably not as much of a concern for the CentOS users).

The file handler is faster, but the db handler can provide persistence

Re: [fw-general] Best way to have custom URL's for each web page ?

[Peter Warnock]

You can create a custom route implementing the interface, or create a
plugin, or use a forward after the lookup from the default action. - pw

Hi,

I'm building a CMS and I want to allow the users to configure for each page
and language a personnalized URL.

E.g. rename   http://example.com/services/list   to:
in French http://example.com/nos-services
in Dutch http://example.com/onze-diensten
etc.

So I would have all these URL's in DB and linked to a specific action I
guess.

But then when my bootstrap gets the request  http://example.com/nos-services
How do I forward to the correct module/controller/action and set the correct
locale ?

I'm quite lost on this, can anyone help ?
Thank you!

You should have two hostname routes with paths chained to them.  The
hostname routes will define your modules, while the paths define the
controllers.

[fw-general] form.elementFilters conflicts with form.elements.options.filters

[Peter Warnock]

If I try to run these two filters, only trim works:
form.elementFilters.trim = "StringTrim"
form.elements.phone.options.filters.digits = "Digits"

If I comment out trim, the digits filter works:
;form.elementFilters.trim = "StringTrim"
form.elements.phone.options.filters.digits = "Digits"

Without resorting to code, is there another way to implement both or do I
need to overload a custom element?

I really like this UI style but not sure if I should do it manually or try

Any help ideas appreciated.

_forward back to the original action and make sure you are accessing the
same instance of the form object, it contains the error stack after calling
isValid. - pw

Re: [fw-general] hosting suggestions with support for ZF

[Peter Warnock]

Explicit Zend Framework support is probably the least important requirement
since its very portable.  Look for a host that has good up-time, responsive
support, and can scale.

You can overcome some of the latency issues by using a content delivery
network (CDN) to host your static assets.

I don't have a specific recommendation, but I did get Zend_Application
running on DreamHost for less than $2/mo

I viewed the source for Zend/Session/Namespace.php and found  a method

You have a hyphen in the request param and an underscore in the arg passed

I was expecting that if I forward to another action, the parameters
