[symfony-users] Re: Accessing doctrine route object in layout.php
Hey Tom!
I understand what you're trying to do now! I'm not sure if there's a
way to do that, but I'll run some tests and let you know the results.
Meanwhile, an alternate solution would be to consider using partials
and/or components on your layout.php file. That way, you'll be able to
update parts of the layout which are outside the view area (on the
decoration part). That might also be a more elegant design choice,
thinking on the MVC pattern and on the code/design separation talks :)
Take a look at the chapter Inside the View Layer Code Fragments
on the symfony book, you might get some ideas from there!

Thanks Thiago.
Essentially my problem is that I need access to the property object in
layout.php.
I am using the doctine route class:
property:
url: /:id/:action
class: sfDoctrineRoute
options: { model: Property, type: object }
param: { module: property }
requirements:
id: \d+
sf_method: [get]
And I have no trouble accessing the property object from the routing and I
can use this in actions and templates. However, I cannot pass this object to
the layout.
In the layout I need to know the property_id, property_name, etc but I have
no idea how to access them. I think you used to be able to in sf1.0.
I thought about using a component, but I couldn't access the property object
from the route in a component either.
I'm sure there must be something simple that I'm over looking, but I can't
put my finger on it.
Anyone?
Cheers,
Tom

Hi Tom,
I believe you can get access to the routing from the layout by using
the $sf_context variable. $sf_context-getRouting() should return a
sfRouting object (http://www.symfony-project.org/api/1_2/sfRouting).
You can then use the getRoutes() method of this object in order to get
access to a collection of sfRoute objects (http://www.symfony-
project.org/api/1_2/sfRoute). I haven't tested this, but in theory it
should give you access to what you want :)
However, I'm not too sure if this is a good practice. Depending on
what you want to achieve, it would be best to simply set different
routing rules. For example, for the photos section you would have a
routing rule like this:
photos:
url: /:id/photos.htm
param: { module: property, action: photos }
then on the actions for this module you can use the ID passed by the
user to do whatever:
public function executePhotos(sfWebRequest $request)
{
$this-image = $request-getParameter('id') .'.png';
}
and then obviously you could use this variable on the view:
img src=. $image . /
Hope to have helped!

Hi,
I have a website where the people are given a url from some off-line
source. e.g.
example.com/22
I'm using the doctrine routing object for my routes.
22 is the id of a property and needs to be included in the routing in
order to see other parts of the property:
example.com/22/photos.htm
example.com/22/town-info.htm
example.com/22/view-property.htm
So in layout.php I'd like to have access to the route object, but I
don't see a way of accessing the route object in the layout. Is there a
way?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

[symfony-users] Re: Accessing doctrine route object in layout.php
Thanks, Thiago.
I'll give a little more background below but here's what I have so far:
I have a component in layout.php which accesses the property as follows:
// in frontend/modules/property/actions/components.class.php
public function executeNavigation()
{
$request = $this-getContext()-getRequest();
$sign_id = $request-getParameter('id');
$this-sign = Doctrine::getTable('Sign')-find($sign_id);
$this-navigation =
sfYaml::load(sfConfig::get('sf_root_dir').'/apps/frontend/config/navigation.yml');
}
This way I can access the Property via the Sign object (see below) but I
assume this requires a new database call.
Background:
This is a mini site for a real estate agent. It is essentially a
brochure site for some properties. In order to access the site, you must
have been directed here from somewhere else, either online or offline.
Each property has one or more physical signs, that are displayed as
normal real estate signs; on the lawn, for example. Each sign has a
unique URL, eg:
For more info on this property go to example.com/44
On the website, 44 is the id of the Sign object. To display all the
information I simply access the Sign via the route object in the
preExecute method of the actions class:
$this-sign = $this-getRequest()-getRoute()-getObject();
$this-property = $this-sign-getProperty();
This all works fine. But I need to include the navigation only if the
sign has an active property, so in _navigation.php I need to do:
?php if ($sign-hasActiveProperty()): ?
// show navigation
?php endif; ?
This all works. I suppose my situation is unique in that I only have one
module in the application, but it would be nice if I could access the
route object from the component. Perhaps there's a way to achieve it
with filters.
Cheers,
Tom
