Re: [symfony-users] Re: how to prevent save in preInsert?

[Georg Gell]

add this to each form's configure() method, that you want to have flood
protected (I expect that you want to protect this way (form) of entering
data from flooding, and not the model itself):

$this->validatorSchema->setPostValidator(new CombValidator(null,
array(), array('invalid' => 'Flooding is not acceptable')));

and put the CombValidator in the lib dir:

class CombValidator extends sfValidatorSchema {
  protected function doClean($values) {
if ($isFlood){
  throw new sfValidatorError($this, 'invalid');
}
  }
}

Re: [symfony-users] Templates in a single directory

[Georg Gell]

It might be worth looking into using your own view class:
something along

class myView extends sfPHPView {
  public function setDirectory($directory){
$this->directory = $directory . '/theme'; //whatever, must be full path
  }
}

and in filters.yml
rendering:
  class: myView

But then caching will probably not differentiate between the themes, but
that would be the next step ;-)

Re: [symfony-users] Slow template rendering

[Georg Gell]

Axel,

is it possible that the creation of the user objects takes such a long
time? I don't know what your user objects do, or how many are in this
list, but just for displaying the names of the users, I wouldn't
create objects, but hydrate with Doctrine_Core::HYDRATE_SCALAR.
Try if this works more quickly:

set up this method in your Event object:

class Event extends BaseEvent{
...
public function getUserListAsArray()
{
  return Doctrine::getTable('Users')->createQuery()->where('event_id =
?', $this->id)->execute(array(), Doctrine_Core::HYDRATE_SCALAR);
}

and in the template:

getUserListAsArray() as $user){
echo <<
  {$user['firstname']} {$user['lastname']}

EOT;
} ?>

Does this solve your speed problem?

I think you should ask this question on the symfony-devs list. IMO your

[symfony-users] Re: sfDoctrineGuard is killing me

[Georg Gell]

This is a mysql specific error, because mysql only allows 64 bytes
length (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/identifiers.html). It
seems that the SQL standard defines 128 bytes (
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=13942)
I think you should file a bug report for doctrine.

The funny thing is that the Zend server consists mainly of OS software,
apache, mysql and php. This shows how to earn money with OS, package OS,
optimize it and sell it as a CS package with support.

Depends.
Why do you think there are more apache servers than iis servers on the
web? Because they are more reliable and cheaper, and they have a large
user base that will help you out for free.
Firefox vs IE? Judge for yourself.
PHP vs .Net? I think it will take a long time to get a bug fixed in both
of them, you will rather do a work around. Where in both products the
community will help. But with .Net you can also ask MS.

Hmm, IMO the costs are lower in some cases. Because all major OS
products are quite stable and have a very good QMS.
Take for example symfony: In his post
http://www.mail-archive.com/symfony-d...@googlegroups.com/msg05854.html
Fabien complains that nobody pays for symfony support.
[quote]
Keep in mind that symfony is an Open-Source project, so everybody can
contribute and scratch its itch. The core developers and all plugin
developers are all working for free. Of course, Sensio sponsors the
framework, of course it dedicates a lot of time and money to it, and of
it can even provide extended support for all versions for companies
willing to pay. And do you know how many companies, except Sensio
customers, signed up for extended support in the last 2 years? None!
Yep, that's right, not a single one.[/quote]

This shows that all developers using symfony think it is cheaper to ask
the community then to pay for support.
If you want to make a choice in a real case, try to calculate the TCO.

I think most people decide for OS because
* they like the idea of OS
* it is cheaper
* if they really need additional functionality, they can add it (by
themselves or other developers) without having to wait for Godot
* the product has a big community to ask

Decisions to use CSs are based on
* they need/want professional support
* it is cheaper
* the product is developed for a company that uses CSs only

And then there is the middle, usage of open source with professional
support, like mysql offers.

Re: [symfony-users] Development infrastructure

[Georg Gell]

You might use a virtual server.
I have a virtual ubuntu server in a vbox with bridged network.
So it has it's own network address and can be reached from the whole
network, and the source code is on a shared windows directory mounted by
smbfs. I used vboxsf for mounting the share, but had some troubles with it.
This way you can perform symfony commands both on windows and on ubuntu,
doing exactely the same thing.
And you can edit the files locally from Netbeans, and even debug the
files step by step on the server from within Netbeans.
You have to patch two symfony files for this to work, i have attached
patches. The first removes a warning by php, that it cannot chmod on
remote filesystems. The other doesn't create symlinks, but copies the
directories, which is the normal behaviour for windows. Now symfony
tasks behave the same way in windows and ubuntu environment, afaik.

no, this will not work, because I want to change the redirect after the

[symfony-users] admin generator, change redirect target after create/update

[Georg Gell]

Hello,

I would like to change the target of the redirect in an auto generated
admin form, after the object is saved.
This target is hard coded in processForm() in the base action. Is there
an easier way then copying the whole processForm() method into the
action, and then change only the target (40 lines DoRY).

Thanks Georg

[symfony-users] OT: Create PHPCod comments automatically

[Georg Gell]

Hello list,

just a quick OT post:

I am looking for a way to auto add auto prefilled PHPDoc comments on my
PHP files.
For example if I have a method like this:

public function doSomething($var){

then it should add above (if no PHPDoc comment is already existing)

/**
* doSomething
*
* @author Me
* @param $var
* @return
*
*/

Even better if the content of the created PHPDocs could be configured. I
was using PHPEdit once, and this IDE had that kind of functionality, but
I am missing it in Netbeans.

How do you add those PHPDocs?

Thanks
Georg

Re: [symfony-users] problem with functional test for upload

[Georg Gell]

Hi,

I don't really understand what you mean that I should so.
I understand that the 'file' parameter is not empty, because I am trying
to upload a file. But it shouldn't be a path either IMO, I just used
this test to show the value of the 'file' parameter, which is not a
file, but a path.
The real problem is the second test, where the sfFileValidator complains
about the missing file.

[symfony-users] problem with functional test for upload

[Georg Gell]

Hello,

I have an action that accepts file uploads from a desktop program.
I use a form for validation (see below) and if the form is valid, I
process the uploaded files(see action below). This works as expected.

But the functional tests (see below) do not upload any file (result see
below, result 37 shows, that no file is uploaded, but only the path, and
39 shows that the sfFileValidator complains that the file is required).

I checked the docs, but I only found this
(http://www.symfony-project.org/jobeet/1_4/Doctrine/en/11): "The browser
also simulates file uploads if you pass the absolute path to the file to
upload." which either I don't understand or doesn't work.

Has anyone done file uploads in a functional test, and how?

Thanks
Georg

my functional test:
__
$in2 = array('path' => '/path',
  'md5' => 'e1aab77d216d8ad97ff143823a75038e',
  'ci' => '0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef',
  'file' =>
'/var/www/shared/appxxx/test/fixtures/testdata/images/IMG_0283.JPG');

$browser = new sfTestFunctional(new sfBrowser());
$browser->
//...
info('post remote/upload - returns OK')->
  post('http://client.virtual/remote/upload', $in2)->
  with('request')->begin()->
isParameter('module', 'remote')->
isParameter('action', 'upload')->
isParameter('ci', '0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef')->
isParameter('md5', 'e1aab77d216d8ad97ff143823a75038e')->
isParameter('path', '/path')->
isParameter('file', '')->
  end()->
  with('response')->begin()->
isStatusCode(200)->
matches('#OK#')->
  end();
__

the validation form:
__
class UploadForm extends BaseForm {

public function configure() {
  $this->setValidators(array(
'ci' => new sfValidatorString(array('max_length' => 32, 'min_length'
=> 32)),
'path' => new sfValidatorDoctrineChoice(array('model' => 'Path',
'column' => 'path')),
'md5' => new sfValidatorString(array('max_length' => 32,
'min_length' => 32)),
'file' => new sfValidatorFile(array('max_size' => 20,
'mime_types' => 'web_images')),
  'module' => new sfValidatorPass(),
  'action' => new sfValidatorPass(),
 ));
   $this->disableLocalCSRFProtection();
  }
}
__
 and the action looks like this:
__
public function executeUpload(sfWebRequest $request) {
  if ($request->isMethod('post')) {
  $this->form = new UploadForm();
  $this->form->bind($request->getParameterHolder()->getAll(),
$request->getFiles());
  if ($this->form->isValid()) {
// to something
return $this->renderText('OK');
  } else {
$result = 'ERROR: ';
foreach($this->form->getErrorSchema()->getErrors() as $k => $error) {
  $result .= "\n$k: " . $error->getMessage();
}
return $this->renderText($result);
  }
}
return $this->renderText('ERROR Invalid method');
}
__
and the test result:
__
not ok 37 - request parameter file is ""
# Failed test

#got:

[symfony-users] check in model class if it is used from doctrine:data-load task

[Georg Gell]

Hello group,

how can I check in a model class if the class is used from the
doctrine:data-load task instead from the normal application?

Example model "Model"

class Model extends BaseModel
{
public function postInsert($event)
{
if (not in "symfony doctrine:data-load"){
//do some wild things that don't need to be done for each reload
}
}
}

Thanks a lot
Georg

Re: [symfony-users] Where to put the logic?

[Georg Gell]

Hi Stéphane,

I don't understand what you mean.

To clarify:
I would like to put the business logic in the model. The business logic
states in my case that no "Client" object can be without a "User" object.

Following this reasoning, I added a postInsert() method in the "Client"
object, that creates a "User" object. IMO the only way to make sure that
no "Client" objects without a defined state can exist (ie without a
"User" object).
This works like expected in my applications, the "Client" object and all
related objects (ie it's "User" object, ...) are always in a defined
state after creation, no matter where they are created.

The problem starts when I try to reset my database for unit tests. If I
use the task doctrine:data-load, an unwanted (at least by me ;-)) side
effect happens.
doctrine:data-load first inserts the "Client" object, and this triggers
the postInsert() logic, creating a new "User" object implicitly. And
then doctrine:data-load continues with inserting the "User" object that
the "Client" object already had a the time when I created the fixture.

The result is that the doctrine:data-load task changes the content of
the database in one doctrine:data-dump and doctrine:data-load cycle
(adding an additional "User" object).
This means I am not able to unit test my model or to test any
application logic, because I cannot load clean data in the database for
each test.
There is already a ticket for this:
http://trac.symfony-project.org/ticket/5799
but it was set to invalid.

I see the following solutions to get doctrine:data-load to work with my
business logic. I am rather not a symfony expert, I hope I am missing
something obvious, and I just didn't find it in the docs. This also
explains the email's subject "Where to put the logic":
* Move the business logic to the controllers: In this case
doctrine:data-load would not trigger the creation of a "User" object for
each new "Client" object that is saved, because it is not in the model.
But I would have to make sure that the controller logic is the same
everywhere a "Client" object is created.
* Find a way to check in the postInsert method if I am running from a
doctrine:data-load task, and in this case skip the business logic. IMO
this would add controller logic in the model, but if I could identify
the doctrine:data-load task, this would be my preferred approach.
* To have an argument for the doctrine:data-load task, not to trigger
the doctrine events.
* Did I miss something obvious?

Thanks for reading up to here (in case anyone sees this :-D)

Re: [symfony-users] Where to put the logic?

[Georg Gell]

Where would you register the listener?

If it is registered in the form action, this would only be an elaborate
extension of the controller logic: instead of creating the Client object
and afterwards the User object directly in the controller, I would
register a listener in the controller that gets called if a Client is
created just in this controller action, which is the same.

If I register it in an application config class, this would lead to
inconsistent behaviour, because if I create a Client object in app1, a
User object would be created, and in app2 not.

This would mean it would have to be registered in the project config.
And there it would be triggered by the doctrine:data-load task again
(resulting in double users, see my other post)

Re: [symfony-users] Where to put the logic?

[Georg Gell]

Hi Bernhard,

actually I had the logic in a postInsert method of the Client class,
which IMO made the most sense. But this lead to the following surprise:
When I used

$ symfony doctrine:data-load

from a fixture with one client and one user I suddenly ended with two
users instead of one. First data-load inserted the client and triggered
the postInsert event, which created a user. Then data-load continued
with adding a user, and hey presto, suddenly there were two :-(
And I was forced to use mysqldump. I have always wondered why
doctrine:data-load doesn't behave the same way like mysqldump, just dump
and load sql data, which I expected by the name (data-dump and data-load)?

I am forced to go along the controller/form solution, because for the
test cases I need fresh data in the db, and mysqldump is not an option
is this case. But this feels wrong.

[symfony-users] token ##PACKAGE## in sf1.4 base model classes should be replaced by?

[Georg Gell]

Hi,

the following tokens can be found in the autogenerated base model
classes in sf 1.4.
 * @package##PACKAGE##
 * @subpackage ##SUBPACKAGE##
 * @author ##NAME## <##EMAIL##>
Is there a way to replace them by real values? Or are they placeholders
for future use?

TIA Georg

[symfony-users] Where to put the logic?

[Georg Gell]

Hello,

in my application, I would like to have this logic:

When I add a client, I would like to autmatically add an admin user for
the client. For me this belongs to the client object logic, and I have
put it in postInsert.

But if I use doctrine:data-dump and afterwards doctrine:data-load, I
receive double users (or unique constraint violations), because first a
user is inserted by the client object, and then by doctrine:data-load.

One could argue that the addition of the admin user is not part of the
model logic, but the controller should take care of it.

What is the best way to do this? Is there a way in doctrine to switch of
all pre/post save code for data-load?

[symfony-users] difficulties with doctrine:data-dump in sf1.4

[Georg Gell]

Hello,

I have suddenly problems when I try to dump my data.
My model has a listener attached, that changes some queries.
Until now this didn't matter when using doctrine:data-dump. I updated
yesterday to sf 1.4, and now I can't dump the data anymore, because the
listener is executed.
This does not make sense when dumping the data, because the listener is
used for the application to keep certain restraints (which obviously do
not need to be checked when dumping data, because dumping does not
change the data).
How can I get rid of this?

Is there a way to know if the listener is run in a task? Then it could
deactivate itself?

Thanks
Georg

[symfony-users] Doctrine behaviour adds field, how to get rid of it's validator in auto generated forms in sf 1.3?

[Georg Gell]

Dear list,

I have a Doctrine behaviour that sets the correct client id on some
tables on each save, update and select.
The idea is that I put

ActAs: ClientAware

in the schema.yml file for each table that should have a connection to
the client table, and the result would be:

* create a field client_id in the table -> works
* create a relation to the client table with a foreign alias -> works
* always set the right client id -> works
* prevent auto generated forms to display this field -> no idea how
* prevent auto generated forms to validate this not existing field -> no
idea how

What is the best approach for this in Symfony 1.3 aka Doctrine 1.2?

TIA Georg

[symfony-users] Doctrine:data-load error: which table, which field, which value???

[Georg Gell]

Hi,

I changed parts of my table definitions to a behaviour, and now
doctrine_data-load does not work any more with data, that were
previously working.
No big problem so far, probably made an error.
BUT:
The only message I have is this:

"SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry
'1' for key 1"

This does not help me, because I have no idea what the problem could be.
I tried to run symfony with -t option, but this does not help.

How can I find out in which table, in which field and which value should
be inserted, when the error occured?

Thanks in advance

[symfony-users] culture aware sfValidatorNumber, what are you using?

[Georg Gell]

In german, a decimal number looks like this: 5,2, not 5.2 like PHP is

If a user enters a decimal number in a form, sfValidatorNumber rejects it.
I was expecting sfValidatorNumber to use the user culture to resolve
this, but it does not.
I found an old ticket on trac
(http://trac.symfony-project.org/ticket/4071), but obviously nothing
happened.

What are you doing in this case? Has anybody a culture aware

[symfony-users] Re: Call For Information Re-organization [opinions needed]

[Georg Gell]

Hi,

as I am just now developing a symfony application, I will watch myself
how I try to get the information I need and maybe add some suggestions.

In general I would like to say that the symfony documentation is very
comprehensive and well done. Thanks to the symfony team for it. On some
parts the navigation could be improved, because I find myself very often
using google to find the information that is already provided on the site.

Maybe some suggestions that come to my mind right now:
(ref link for all examples:
http://www.symfony-project.org/book/1_2/14-Generators)

There is a search field on the right side of all documentation. AFAIK
this should search in the actual document I am reading.

For me an improvement would be to have the search field on top in the
right column, so I wouldn't have to search for it (see ref link and try
to find the search field).

And IMO the search should not be on the document I am reading only, but
on the whole documentation. The reason for this is, that some infos
probably are not in the document I am reading. For example in the
generator docs (ref link), I read something, and need some info about
the forms used (but they are not in the book, so they will not be
found). And even worse, when I use the navigation links on the right
side, I come to information about form helpers, and how to process a
form, but this is not the way the admin generator works, and now I am
even more confused. But if the search had provided a link to the new
form framework, I would have to read for a day again ;-)

BTW it seems that the search is not working as intended ATM. Go to the
ref link above and enter any term in the search, nothing is found.

I think that the search is well structured on php.net
(http://de.php.net/manual/en/). Here you find the search on top always
in the same place, and you can choose the scope of your search. On
symfony docs, options could be [this document, all documentation, API
documentation, all site, ...]

If I use google to find something in the docs, I am stuck in the chapter
then. Use my ref link again. Somewhere down the page you find "Chapter
18 explains the concept of Join more extensively." Good information. But
how the get there?
I can scroll down to the bottom, click on next chapter, wait for it to
load, scroll down again, and this four times.
Here my suggestions would be to add a link to the index in the middle,
and add the whole navigation on top also (last chapter, index, next
chapter).
Also maybe there would be an option to automatically create a link for
chapter ## in the docs?

I think most of the suggestions are implemented quite quickly and would
help me a lot. Anyone else also?

[symfony-users] Re: Insert custom styles in template

[Georg Gell]

Again thanks for the answer.
It seems to me that I have three possibilities:

1.) I can use

$this->getContext()->getRequest()->setAttribute('style', 
'.item{width='.$width.'px;}</style');
and use

<?php echo $sf_request->getAttribute('style') ?>
in layout.php

2.) I can use a slot

3.) I can define another layout file in view.yml for the module (at least I 
think).

Which of these options is best performance wise, how do they affect caching?

Hi,

thanks for the answer.
at 1) AFAIK  should ony be in <head>,  and I cannot put anything 
in <head> in my template, this would have to be in layout.php, and there 
I think I cannot access $this->style from the action, or can I?
at 2 a) b) I only want to change one value dynamically for each request, 
so this css would have to be it's own action. I would like to avoid the 
overhead to create the action and add another request from the browser 
that slows down the page load.
at 2 c) same reason like 1, I can't put anything in <head> from the 
template.

[symfony-users] Insert custom styles in template

[Georg Gell]

Hi,

how can I include some custom style information in a specific template?
I would like to change the size of some divs fitting to the items in them.
So i think i am looking for a way to insert something like
.item{width:17px} into the template, where the 17px will
be different for each request.
I could create a helper for that, and use it in layout.php, but what
information is available to this helper during the time it is used?
Probably nothing from the action?

Any ideas?

Georg

[symfony-users] How can I set a different base class for each Doctrine record?

[Georg Gell]

Dear list,

is it possible to set a certain base class for each doctrine record?
I tried baseClassName, but this was not working like expected.

I would like to have

Adress extends BaseAdress extends ClientAwareDoctrineRecord extends
Doctrine_Record

for all tables, that have a reference to the client in a multi client
system. Is there a way to define a different base class for the base
table class for each table?

Thanks in advance for your help

Georg

[symfony-users] Can't get Doctrine Nested Set on an aliased multi root column to work

[Georg Gell]

Hello,

I am trying Doctrine for a new project, so my Doctrine level is newbie.

I would like to have nested albums with one root album per client, so I
set up the table like this:

Album:
  actAs:
NestedSet: {hasManyRoots: true, rootColumnName: client_id }
  columns:
path: { type: string, length: 255, notnull: true}
client_id: { type: integer, notnull: true, name: "client_id as
clientID" }
  relations:
Client: { local: client_id, foreign: id, foreignAlias: Albums,
onDelete: CASCADE }
  indexes:
pathAndClientAreUnique:
  fields: [path, client_id]
  type: unique

And then I try to set the root node like this:

$root = new Album();
$root->path = "/";
$root->clientID = sfConfig::get('app_clientid');
$tree = Doctrine::getTable('Album')->getTree();
$tree->createRoot($root);

And this does not work. It seems that there is a problem with the alias
for client_id. If I run it with yaml table file like above, I get an
exception:

Doctrine_Record_UnknownPropertyException
Unknown record property / related component "client_id" on "Album"

But if I change the yaml file to

NestedSet: {hasManyRoots: true, rootColumnName: clientID }

it finds the right column, but then the mysql query is wrong:

Doctrine_Connection_Mysql_Exception
SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'clientid' in
'field list'
Doctrine_Connection->exec('INSERT INTO album (path, clientid,
image_size, thumbnail_size, priceset_id, lft, rgt, level) VALUES (?, ?,
?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)', array('/', 1, 600, 150, 1, '1', '2', 0))

Here Doctrine uses the alias name instead of the mysql column name.

What can I do (unless removing my alias is the only solution)?

 Stefan,
   
 I'd volunteer some hours for this - if anything else just to get some
 experience with another coders symfony code (its nice to see that I'm
 building sites correctly, hehe).
   
 One thing I think symfony is currently lacking (where cakePHP has the
 edge at least) is a full open-source e-commerce module.  Would anyone be
 up for developing one with me?  I've already laid the foundations of a
 pretty powerful e-commerse store.  I wouldn't mind open-sourcing it if I
 knew other developers would be interested in helping me finish it!
   
 Thanks
   
 Jon

Hi, it seems that i have led us even more OT with my answers. Basically
I would like to know how to make the contract with your clients when you
are working with a fixed price and RAD, just in case something goes
wrong. How are you doing it?

Do you really have many clients that pay you per hour just trusting you?

Just wondering how many projects exist that have more budget than just
for the bare must-haves? I should definitely get a dot com bubble
company as a client ;-)

Good point, what are the arguments to make my client want to have more
budget on his side? They are all making overtime already.

*I* can see it's advantages and *I* am willing to provide this service,
but nobody wants it (I must admit they are engineering and production
companies, used to have the basic requirements before they start working)

[symfony-users] OT: RAD contract issues

[Georg Gell]

Hi everyone,

this is a little off topic, but I am reading the symfony book atm, it
was mentioned in the book that symfony is very useful for RAD and code
refactoring, as the newer customers often change the requirements.
Technically I am quite used to RAD and I see it's advantages, but I am
working as a project manager in a large company, and I have problems
using RAD there.
The main issue is that if you don't define the exact specifications
before, you cannot give a serious quote on the amount that the project
is going to cost. And if you make it easier for the customer to change
the requirement during the realization, how can you define when the
target is reached? Meaning how can you finish a RAD project in time and
within budget, if you have no defined target, and the client can always
wish for more?
How to you guys/gals cope with this problem? How do you make the
contract, when you are going to use RAD? Is it just that you are so good
and the clients pay so well that you have never thought about it?

Cheers
Georg
