Re: [fw-general] Zend_Payment proposal ready for review

[fw-general] Payment Gateway solutions
Hi guys, Anyone know if there's any components out there for implementing payment gateways in our ZF apps? I'm half considering pulling the components out of Magento, or trying to get the Zend_Payment proposal up and going, but obviously it'd be easier if there were some relatively simple drop-in components that did a fairly good job, and could be extended to support whatever gateway we need. I looked at ezcomponents, nothing there either... Regards, Cameron
Re: [fw-general] Re: Zend_Rest_Route doesn't work when not in the web root.
For the sake of completion, I should point out that that isn't a problem, and Zend_Rest_Route works just fine in sub directories. It ended up being the codepath i thought was happening wasn't, it went around that through a ridiculous chain of redirections through three or four controllers that actually ended up coming back to the right controller in some situations but failing in others.

[fw-general] Zend_Rest_Route doesn't work when not in the web root.
Hi guys, not really sure whether this is an issue with REST as a protocol
definition or it's a Zend thing...
In my bootstrap I have support for both regular routes and RESTful routes.
It is achieved like this:
protected function _initRestRoute() {
$this-bootstrap('Request');
$front = $this-getResource('FrontController');
$restRoute = new Zend_Rest_Route($front);
$defaultRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
':controller/:action/*', array('module' = 'default'),
array('action' = '^[a-z][a-z0-9.-]+')
);
$front-getRouter()-addRoute('rest', $restRoute);
$front-getRouter()-addRoute('default', $defaultRoute);
}
When I go like : http://www.example.com/controller/?format=json the RESTful
route catches it and returns the list view just fine, which is exactly what
it should do. The problem comes with sub directories - if I have the
application sitting in a sub directory, then the REST router no longer
catches the route.
http://www.example.com/sub/directory/controller/?format=json simply doesn't
work.
Is this by design? Is it not meant to work? Or am I doing something wrong?
Re: [fw-general] model attached to a view helper
I frequently pass full model instances through to my views and retrieve
information from them, but I don't write code in the models that is
specifically used for display purposes - as an example, if there's a method
calculateOutstandingBalance(), it's just going to return a float, it's the
exact same method and return value that I'd use if I called it from
somewhere else in the model. I would wrap the dollar sign around it and pad
it to two decimal places in the view though, because that's display logic.
I suppose the other option is to write controllers that simply list every
variable you're going to want to display and call the appropriate method to
fill their values, but that seems really dumb to me.

I like the approach to attach the Model inside view helper for

like this but i dont know if i'm violating any pattern rule.
One guy as commented out about above example that this is a bad
practive since the view shouldn't know the model. What do you think
about this ? Should i go ahead in the same way?
I have read in many places that this is pretty acceptable in the MVC,

[fw-general] Tying Dojo and Zend form validation together - I'm dreaming, right?
Hi guys, I've got a pie in the sky idea, and I'm just wondering if it's even remotely possible, or if I should give up and try something else. I've got a bunch of Zend_Dojo_Form forms with a bunch of custom validators on the Zend side - they work fine, the form errors out when values are incorrect, it's all working exactly as you'd expect, however, what I'd also like is for the same validators to work on the Dojo client side of the form - but without having to completely re-implement them, validator by validator. I understand that at its simplest level, the Dojo isValid method doesn't know or care about the application behind it, and indeed for it to even be able to get access to the errors in the application it'd have to attempt a submit, which isn't what it's meant to do, but has anyone tried a system of something like: 1. override form onSubmit to add our code 2. test Dojo isValid() 3. if the Dojo side is happy, AJAX submit the form 4. if successful, which would be returned i don't know how, then forward on to the appropriate page 5. if not successful, then (and this is where it gets tricky I guess) pass back enough data to know what field errored out, what the error was, and then call enough of the Dojo isValid internal guts to make the form look like it didn't validate? Sorry to just be airing ideas like this, I just figured it might be really useful if we could come up with a way to sort of globally add custom validators to our forms that work both client and server side, without having to implement them uniquely on both sides.

I work around this by using another persistent storage method, in my case Zend_Session_Namespace. - jake Ok, well, I can remove all that extra stuff and rip it back down to just using Zend_Auth::getInstance()-getIdentity(), I'm guessing that's going to fix the clearIdentity() problem?

$authNamespace-email = $data-email;
$authNamespace-role = $data-role;

My guess is that it will only help if you allow the request to complete

But now I have verified it, and it works equally well with a redirect as
with a _forward. Even if I redirect to a complete different website.
*Anyway, clearIdentity should be enough* within normal application flow.
It may go wrong if you login someone automatically based on session data
outside the reach of Zend_Auth. If you logout and then get logged in
automatically based on derived session data, not encapsulated within
Zend_Auth, then you are doing something wrong.
clearIdentity() does the job. If it doesn't, something got out of control
somewhere.
I think you should be looking at how identity checking is done. Is it
actually being performed for each access to your application?

Hi Cameron,
Just some ideas. I assume you are using latest from trunk.
If I try in my system to logout, I can logout. So nothing is wrong with the
framework I think. So we are looking at a problem in your logic somewhere.
The first thing I thought was there could be something with redirecting the
way you do. May you should be forwarding to your default action instead, so
that the clearance of the identity can take effect before you redirect.
I do this in my logout action:
public function logoutAction()
{
Globals::logout();
$this-_forward('index');
}
You can see that I do not redirect, but I forward. In this case to the
default action of the login controller.
Globals does the following:
public static function logout()
{
$auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
Zend_Registry::get('log')-info('Trying to clear identity');
$auth-clearIdentity();
}
Since there is not much of a difference with your code, I think it must be
the redirect.
If that is not the issue, then I start to think of caching. Do you return
cached content before you check the identity? In that case, logging out
won't help once pages are cached. Just a thought.
Regards,
Bart McLeod

I hadn't ever turned on ValueDisabled, but even so I just set it to
false,
$element-setValueDisabled(false). And the code comes directly after an
isValid. In its original context...
if (!$this-getForm()-isValid ( $data )) {
throw new Exception ( 'Form data invalid!' );
}
$values = $this-getForm()-getValues();
var_dump($this-getForm()-image-getValue());
var_dump($this-getForm()-image-getFileName());
$data is just post data.

Re: [fw-general] File Element problem - getValue() returns null, but getFileName() returns full path and file?
var_dump($this-getForm()-image-receive())) returns bool(false) - however,
the file is uploaded just fine, it appears in the destination directory
without any issues. also, calling $this-getForm()-image-isReceived()
after calling receive() returns true!
so in reference to your suggestion below, are there any methods for
retrieving the actual error that caused receive() to return false? all i can
seem to get out of it is a boolean.

So the question is which error is returned.
When you say that isValid() returns not false, then the question is why
receive() returns false. Look at it's error message to see details.

[fw-general] Zend_Navigation rendering incorrect paths at the root level
Hi guys, not sure if I'm doing something really stupid here, but I can't seem to work this out - essentially what is happening is that if I am at the root of my application then the action part of the config doesn't get added to the URL, but if I work my way down in to any of the controllers, then all of the actions display fine. The example config is here: http://pastie.org/765545. I'm using controllers/actions instead of just straight urls because the application resides in a sub directory and the paths won't work correctly otherwise. It's really weird. It's like you have to be viewing a controller, and if not, controllers are the only thing it'll render.
Re: [fw-general] Re: Base Controller Classes
What's the deal with haters hatin' on our old friend the base class? Maybe
you can implement base class functions like getAction using a dispatch level
plugin, but how is that better than a simple abstract class to base your
controllers around? My actual controllers are 80% method free, it's all done
in the base class, I only ever have to override on occasion - it seems like
a solid solution to me, why is it considered less than ideal?

You can also have plugins work at the dispatch loop level which can be

Sometimes it just feels nicer to have a base class tho'.
a. Placing them in the same directory as the other controllers - the
ones that extends from the base class -? If so, is there a easy way to
prevent the base class getting into the dispatch loop?
Just prefix the class with the word abstract... i.e. abstract class
MyBase_Controller { }
That way the class cannot be instantiated on it's own. It may be a nasty
crash tho'.
Personally I'd put it in a subdirectory of the Controller folder to make
sure.

Re: [fw-general] observe controller action
I've done a similar thing by using an Events and Subscribe system, my controller abstract has a number of event broadcasts throughout, and it's very simple to build a subscriber that latches on to whatever it needs to in order to satisfy the business rules.

[fw-general] Applying Zend_Acl to Zend_Form_Element
Hi guys, this is pretty pie in the sky, but I was wondering if anyone had seen it done / had a good trick for it. What I'd like to do is come up with a really clean way of controlling which users can see which form fields. Example being a role field in the user form - admins can set the user's role, but regular users cannot. I know that I can wrap the odd if ($acl-isAllowed($params)) call around the element in my form init, but it seems to me that it'd be really nice to be able to mark form elements as being a certain resource name and then apply the permissions tools in exactly the same way as an action plugin does, without explicitly defining the code, just setting up the ACL lists. It's like we need a form helper or something... It seems to me that the fewer inline ACL checks we have to perform, the easier and safer our overall permission structure is going to be. Anyone managed to do something like this?

resources.db.isdefaulttableadapter = true

resources.db.params.profiler.class = Zend_Db_Profiler_Firebug

var_dump($db-getProfiler()-getEnabled());
in a controller, it most certainly returns True, so according to the

Re: [fw-general] grade zend framework and compared to Symfony and ASP.NET MVC
You seem to be overlooking the entire concept behind Zend. Many frameworks are designed for people who want their hands held through the application building process, Zend is designed for professional developers who know what they are doing and all they want are a few reliable and standardized tools to help them along with their development. On Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 2:30 AM, aoohralex aoohra...@gmail.com wrote: Sry for my English – it isn't my national language. I have started learn ZF because I wanted to learn something new. If we have range 0 – 10.

My knowledge Symfony Framework is 5. My knowledge ASP.NET MVC (not ASP.NET ) is 4. Now I can say that ZF is very bad framework or maybe rather it isn't a framework. Everybody knows that authors of PHP are always late and behind – for example PHP is really OO from version v5 (eariel it was only some OO elements in PHP). The same is in Zend Framework – this framework is behind others frameworks. First - Zend_Db is nothing compared to Doctrine ORM. Using Zend_Db I have to create myself models: http://framework.zend.com/docs/quickstart/create-a-model-and-database-table ! In Symfony Framework with Doctrine ORM and in ASP.NET MVC with Linq to SQL I don't need because it is wasting of time – there it is automatic – in Symfony using console and in ASP.NET MVC using Visual Studio. Of course Doctrine and Linq to SQL have got more better things. In Zend Framework almost nothing you can do using console (of course almost nothing compared to Symfony) – in Symfony using console you can generate much more (I don't use in Symfony console to generate modules, controllers or forms but for begginners it is very comfortable). In ASP.NET MVC I don't need use console but Visual Studio but ASP.NET MVC is very young so generated controllers/views etc. don't have so good code as in Symfony. In ASPNET MVC and Symfony Framework I don't need to enable layout like in Zend Framework. The most horrible thing in Zend it was for me Zend_Acl – using that I can't still make that only logged users can have access to action 'add' controller 'books' – in Symfony I can make that using 2 lines of code in module 'books': add: is_secure: on and in ASP.NET one line of code in controller: [Authorize] What is more in Symfony and ASP.NET MVC we have tables in database and everything else related with users, authorization etc. created in these frameworks – in Zend I must myself do that. There is of course more good things in these frameworks – better than in Zend. Documentation – hahah – in Zend documentation is chaotic, is HORRIBLE !! Have you ever seen documentation of Symfony or ASP.NET MVC ? I have never seen worse documentation than in Zend. For me Zend isn't a framework but rather components that we can use in other frameworks – for example Zend Lucene in Symfony: http://www.symfony-project.org/jobeet/1_2/Doctrine/en/17 As I thought – authors of PHP are always late and they are always behind so Zend is always late and behind.

I've tried turning it on both in application.ini and in the Bootstrap. In
application.ini it looks like...
resources.db.isdefaulttableadapter = true
resources.db.params.profiler.enabled = true
resources.db.params.profiler.class = Zend_Db_Profiler_Firebug
and in Bootstrap.php...
protected function _initDbProfiler() {
$this-bootstrap(db);
$db = $this-getResource(db);
$db-setProfiler(new Zend_Db_Profiler_Firebug());
$db-getProfiler()-setEnabled(true);
}
If I go like this:
$db = DbTable_Base::getDefaultAdapter();
var_dump($db-getProfiler()-getEnabled());
in a controller, it most certainly returns True, so according to the
framework guts, it's most certainly turned on, but there's nothing appearing
in my Firebug. FirePHP just says No FirePHP data found in response
headers. Anyone know where to start looking with this? it's really quite
confusing, it all used to work perfectly!
[fw-general] Stylistic question - controller actions vs. context switches?
Hi everyone, I just wanted to see if anyone else had had a good long think about this sort of thing before I decided one way or the other. Basically I have been playing with the context switch action helper, and it has opened a whole new world of possibilities in terms of application structure, but i'm not certain if i'm about to head down a path of over-engineering or not. As an example, my controllers have an autocomplete action. It essentially switches off the layout and returns the appropriate data in JSON format - all of which is fine and dandy, and there's a bit of processing in the whole thing so it's not unreasonable that it's its own action, HOWEVER... stopping and thinking for a bit, retrieving a list of autocomplete options IS just a list, and hence shouldn't it be a function of the /list action? with the format simply decided by the context switcher? it seems to make sense to me, but then i start to think about how many other actions this might mean reworking - where do you draw the line? i guess you could make your entire application a context switch of /, which is obviously taking it too far, but you see the point... I'm just thinking out loud, I'm guessing the answer is that there's no perfect structure, and it's better to just write the code and get it working rather than philosophize endlessly over the best possible solution, i just thought this one might be an interesting debate for the mailing list.

You can do it in a variety of ways. First, you can always use the
default route in conjunction with the Rest route, though you run the
risk of the actions being interpreted as IDs.
Another option is to create an additional Zend_Controller_Router_Route
instance that matches your controller:
$route = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'product/:action/*',
array(
'controller' = 'product',
),
array(
'action' = '^[a-z][a-z0-9.-]+',
)
);
Assuming your IDs are numeric, the above will not match unless the
action starts with an alphabetic character -- which should be safe for
your purposes. (You can also use static and regexp routes in this
fashion.)
If you use such a route, make sure you register it *after* the REST
route to ensure it's executed *before* it.
Thanks Matthew, this works perfectly. For the record, here is the complete
Bootstrap method for setting up the routes in complete Zend Application
style. If you drop this in your application it should just work. Now to work
out how to get REST routes to respond with JSON and regular routes with
regular view scripts!
protected function _initRestRoute() {
$this-bootstrap('Request');
$front = $this-getResource('FrontController');
$restRoute = new Zend_Rest_Route($front);
$defaultRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
':controller/:action/*', array('module' = 'default'),
array('action' = '^[a-z][a-z0-9.-]+')
);
$front-getRouter()-addRoute('rest', $restRoute);

[fw-general] Including regular Zend Form elements with a Zend Dojo form.
Hi guys, just a quick one. I want to be able to add a regular textarea to a Zend_Dojo form - the Dojo editor is a tiny bit crappy, and i'd really rather use something else.

I'm trying to nut my way through and develop my own series of best practices with regards to all this, but my particular sticking point is still the Zend Server to Zend Studio integration, which seems to be focused around using your local machine as the development server - a situation which obviously doesn't scale terribly well.

Since it seems ZF makes poor use of interfaces, classes like Zend_Db_Table checks for an instance of Zend_Db_Adapter instead of a similar interface. I've seen solutions on the web having to do with extending Zend_Db_Table. I think I found a better solution and would like to suggest it here for people who might have the same dillema in the future. I think extending Zend_Db_Table is the wrong idea, because it means you're limited to Zend_Db_Table to handle your master/slave architecture. If you extend Zend_Db_Adapter instead, you will have master/slave functionality at the core, not only in Zend_Db_Table. I did extend Zend_Db_Adapter with the concept that the instance of this Zend_Db_Adapter is for the master connection, and internally I create a second adapter which will be used for the slave. Methods like insert, update and delete are not overriden because they always work directly with the master. I overrode all fetch methods (fetchAll, fetchAssoc, etc) so that it uses the slave adapter instead, remapping the calls. I added a forceAdapter() method to force the use of the master connection throughout a series of queries, so that in some circumstances you can select data from the master to make sure you get the newly updated data right away. Now, my MyCompany_Db_Adapter_Pdo_Mysql will automatically handle reads and writes to the right server. When I create the instance I pass it a series of parameters, like before, with a new parameter called 'slave' which contains it's own series of connection parameters. If the 'slave' array isnt present, the adapter works the traditionnal way. Anyhow, unless there are other better alternatives, I suggest you do it this way, you'll then be able to use this class with most Zend_Db classes like Zend_Db_Table. It's a shame the Zend Framework team didnt use interfaces in an extensive way, I might have chosen other alternatives if classes like Zend_Db_Table validated the adapter against a DbAdapterInterface (for example) instead of Zend_Db_Adapter. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Handling-MySQL-replication-with-Zend_Db_Adapter-and-Zend_Db_Table-tp21812347p24964652.html Sent from the Zend Framework mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[fw-general] reusing view scripts across controllers.

Re: [fw-general] New to zend world, need some guidance..
1. Is this a question? 2. Zend is a loosely coupled framework, meaning most of the components can be used independently of each other with very few dependencies. You don't have to use the MVC components if you don't want to. Personally I really like this approach, I can just pick and choose the bits I want to use and ignore the rest. 3. It works pretty well on Windows, but you might need to re-implement any Apache specific parts like the MVC router (which you're not using anyway), and if you're using SQL Server you might need to do a bit of extra work.

[fw-general] Serializing select objects supposed to be working but isn't.
Hi guys, I've come up with a situation in my application where serializing a
select object to store it in a session variable would be remarkably useful,
but it isn't working. It's just throwing the usual can't serialize a PDO
object error. This was apparently fixed in
http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-4600. Here's my basic code.
class DbTable_Candidates extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract
{
/**
* @var string Table name
*/
public $_name = 'candidates';
/**
* @var string Primary key
*/
public $_primary = 'id';
}
...then, later on...
function fetchList($criteria) {
$table = new DbTable_Candidates();
$adapter = $table-getAdapter();
$select = $adapter-select();
... a bunch of stuff gets added to the $select object
$serialize = serialize($select);
}
and the error: You cannot serialize or unserialize PDO instances
This is on 1.7.8 of the framework, by the way.
[fw-general] passing multiple fetchProperties through to FilteringSelect
Hi guys, I'm just having trouble working out the syntax on this one, was
wondering if anyone could give me a quick hand - or even show me a better
way of doing it :P
What I'm trying to do is get a spinner to pop up when a FilteringSelect is
retrieving its JSON from the server. As best as I can tell, what you have to
do is attach your call on to the onBegin and onComplete of the fetch method
of the FilteringSelect. This is apparently done by way of passing in
fetchProperties, which are then mixed in before the fetch is called by the
FilteringSelect. So what I'm doing is this:
$this-addElement('FilteringSelect', 'jobs', array(
'label'= 'Job:',
'storeId' = 'jobStore',
'storeType'= 'dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore',
'storeParams' = array( 'url' =
'/jobs/autocomplete/format/ajax?autocomplete=1str=*',),
'fetchProperties' = array( 'onBegin' =
'snowwhite._toggleAjaxSpinner()', 'onComplete' =
'snowwhite._toggleAjaxSpinner()' ),
'autoComplete' = 'false',
'hasDownArrow' = 'true',
'id' = 'fk_jobs_id',
));
It's the fetchProperties format that is getting me. If I just include ONE
value, like this:
'fetchProperties' = array( 'onBegin' = 'snowwhite._toggleAjaxSpinner()' ),
It works fine - it actually triggers off the spinner, so I'm pretty sure I'm
on the right track here. The problem is trying to add in the onComplete, I
just can't seem to work out the syntax for passing through a second
property. I've tried various combinations of arrays inside arrays and all
sorts of tricks, all to no avail. Anyone know what I'm missing here? Or have
a better way of performing this trick?

[fw-general] Reporting in Zend Framework MVC applications
Hi guys, this is probably more of a general OO question than specific to ZF, but I thought I'd throw it out there to see if there's some really good solutions out there. I've written a pretty extensive application in ZF, it's all MVC driven, uses Dojo and AJAX, it's pretty cool, and generic and flexible enough to easily adapt against different databases with different object relationships. I'm pretty proud of how it's coming out so far, despite a few obvious shortcomings, but I've gotten to the point where one of the clients using this wants a whole lot of reports generated, and that raises issues of architectural requirements. I've been looking at a Builder design pattern, but the more I think about it, the more it doesn't really seem to solve many problems - MVC separates the View already, and it ain't no thang to have a different view script per report page. I guess what I'm trying to work out is how best to model the in between bits - the classes between the View and the DB access in the Model. My current Models really only have the usual get / insert / list / count / delete methods, with a bunch of private methods for filtering, sorting and ordering the data, and so any complex report queries would need to be either built using these tools in a separate layer, or implemented as extra methods in the current Model classes. Another thing to consider is user input in these reports, like sorting by columns, pagination, date ranges, etc. I guess the question is one of style and elegance. Has anyone got any examples of a good layer between the Controller and Model(s) for reporting? I was basically considering something like this: - A Reports Controller with a whole lot of named Actions that map to the various reports we'll build. - Each Action handles gentle processing of user input and passes it on to the Reports Model. - The Reports model holds all the ugly business logic, calling queries and / or other Models directly, processing data to a point fit to return back to the Controller. Try and add private methods for standardizing functionality where I can. - The regular Models mapping against the business objects remain untouched. My concern with this layout is one of cleanliness, I guess. It seems like a lot of ugly code to put in the one Model. Has anyone seen this problem set solved really nicely? Something like a handful of good generic reporting methods that one can implement that map against a significant number of typical reporting needs? A particular OO design pattern that suits this really well? Something I haven't thought of?

should handle all it's ins and outs from any data and your controller does
very little other than call various models as required.
You may also want to look in to Zend_Form and it's use as a validator which
you can then call in your model to validate and filter the data.
In short it's probably 'best' to change to your second method!

I, too, use Zend_Form's validators, then all you need to do is in your
add/edit method, call:

That sounds like it could very quickly get out of control, and I'd end up putting all sorts of conditional stuff in those so-called generic methods. I guess using a chain of objects and a decorator, it would be easy to generate reports with 2 or 3 different separate tables of data displayed on it, ready for them to print out or use however they want. Compiling different lists of reports becomes very easy. Blergh! Maybe I'm over-thinking this. Perhaps my first implementation is pretty much good enough for 90% of reporting needs, and I should just get it written and move on to the next job.

You could then start with a base report and build it up. $report = new ReportMetricOne(new ReportMetricTwo(new Report())); $report could then be processed by a generic reporting class/model: $reportModel-generate($report); downside = complexity, decorators can be confusing to people ala Zend_Form :) Though once you get them they are easy 2009/3/25 Cameron themsel...@gmail.com: Hi guys, this is probably more of a general OO question than specific to ZF, but I thought I'd throw it out there to see if there's some really good solutions out there. I've written a pretty extensive application in ZF, it's all MVC driven, uses Dojo and AJAX, it's pretty cool, and generic and flexible enough to easily adapt against different databases with different object relationships. I'm pretty proud of how it's coming out so far, despite a few obvious shortcomings, but I've gotten to the point where one of the clients using this wants a whole lot of reports generated, and that raises issues of architectural requirements. I've been looking at a Builder design pattern, but the more I think about it, the more it doesn't really seem to solve many problems - MVC separates the View already, and it ain't no thang to have a different view script per report page. I guess what I'm trying to work out is how best to model the in between bits - the classes between the View and the DB access in the Model. My current Models really only have the usual get / insert / list / count / delete methods, with a bunch of private methods for filtering, sorting and ordering the data, and so any complex report queries would need to be either built using these tools in a separate layer, or implemented as extra methods in the current Model classes. Another thing to consider is user input in these reports, like sorting by columns, pagination, date ranges, etc. I guess the question is one of style and elegance. Has anyone got any examples of a good layer between the Controller and Model(s) for reporting? I was basically considering something like this: A Reports Controller with a whole lot of named Actions that map to the various reports we'll build. Each Action handles gentle processing of user input and passes it on to the Reports Model. The Reports model holds all the ugly business logic, calling queries and / or other Models directly, processing data to a point fit to return back to the Controller. Try and add private methods for standardizing functionality where I can. The regular Models mapping against the business objects remain untouched. My concern with this layout is one of cleanliness, I guess. It seems like a lot of ugly code to put in the one Model. Has anyone seen this problem set solved really nicely? Something like a handful of good generic reporting methods that one can implement that map against a significant number of typical reporting needs? A particular OO design pattern that suits this really well? Something I haven't thought of? -- -- [MuTe] --

(on Wednesday, 04 February 2009, 04:05 AM -0800):
I'm just starting out with Zend and Dojo and I have a quick question
which I
hope you can answer.
I have built a tabbed dojo interface and some of the tabs contain dojo
forms. I have a view helper which validates the dojo form onsubmit. The
helper adds some javascript to head which connects up the submit button.
The tabs are linked to an actions which use Context Switching to return
an
ajax response (I guess you'd call it lazy loading). Here's my problem, if
I'm trying to lazy load a tab which contains a form then then the
javascript
for the head is not put in place. I cannot for the life of me figure out
how
this should be done. I've searched high and low before posting, so I
really
hope someone out there can help.
This is where digging into the Dojo documentation can help.
With dijit.layout.ContentPane, you can't return javascript; it simply
won't get executed. However, you *can* embed special script tags within
the content that the dojo parser will then parse and execute. As an
example, the following is something I've done:
script type=dojo/method event=onLoad
dojo.connect(dijit.byId(submit), onclick, function(e){
/* actions go here... */
});
/script
Note the dojo/method script type -- the parser recognizes various
dojo/* types and creates callbacks or binds events accordingly.
This can be added to your form via a custom decorator that renders
inside the ContentPane.

Matthew Weier O'Phinney
Software Architect | matt...@zend.com
Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/
Or even better, do what I do, and use the ContentPane's onLoad. This feature
doesn't seem to be documented anywhere I could find, I stumbed across it by
complete fluke, and yet, it is easily the best way to attach JS to tabbed
items in your Dojo + Zend app. Example:
code
?= $this-contentPane('files', '',
array('title' = 'Files',
'class' = 'tab',
'href' = $this-url(
array('controller' =
'files',
'action' = 'list',
'format' = 'ajax'
),
'default',
true),
'parseOnLoad' = true,
'onLoad' = app.attachJavascript('list',
'files')
)); ?
/code
attachJavascript in this case is a simple loader, and I pass it through a
couple of variables to let it know the actual JS I want it to load. Then, I
create a function named in a fashion the loader tries to find. If it exists,
it loads it, and there you have it - all the JS you could ever want to
include on a page, all in the right context, and it just works. None of
these special script tags, none of the nonsense with stuff not being able to
attach because the objects don't exist, none of that - it only loads what it
needs to when it needs to, and you can drop in whatever the hell JS you
want. dojo.connect, dojo.query, dojo,subscribe... all works perfectly :D
If the code tags don't work, I apologise, I'm just guessing here. I can
repost if the formatting is too munched.
code
dojo.mixin(app, {
attachJavascript: function (action, controller, params) {
var functionName = app. + action + ucfirst(controller) +
Attach;
if (eval(typeof + functionName + == 'function')) {
eval(functionName)(params);
}
},
listFilesAttach: function () {
dojo.connect(dijit.byId('files_id'), 'onChange', function () {
dijit.byId('contacts_id').store = new
dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore({ url:
/contacts/autocomplete/format/ajax?autocomplete=1files_id= +
dijit.byId(files_id).value });
});
},
}

I read about this option in the list archives.

[fw-general] Implementing generic views that apply to all your controllers. Action Helpers?
Hi guys, I have an application that is growing piece by piece, table by table, and as it grows, as do the number of view scripts the application needs. In order to ease maintenance on these, I've managed to make the vast majority of the views indentical across controllers, by just passing the relevant variables in to the view. Of course, this means I still have to cut and paste the views each time I make a change to one of them, which is clearly inefficient. So, what's the standard way around this? I saw Action Helpers, and they seem like they would do the trick, but I'm not sure if that's considered best practice. Any ideas?
Re: [fw-general] Implementing generic views that apply to all your controllers. Action Helpers?

Interestingly enough, the Time picker accepts the full ISO date too, if
you're using them. Unfortunately you need to do this for every date/time
dojo field and datetime you pull out of a mysql DB, because mysql misses the
T in the middle - although it happily accepts an ISO date as an input, it
stores it without. Quite annoying, really.

The element works fine if the form/element validates, but the element does

I am populating it with existing data. I am currently trying to use
-setValue on the element within the Zend_Form, and that works up to the
initial page load; once Dojo kicks in and turns the element into a date
picker it appears to strip the value of the input. A simple example of what
I am trying is:
class My_Zend_Form extends Zend_Form {

$date = new Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_DateTextBox('date');
$date-setLabel('Date')
-setValue(date('m/d/Y'));
$this-addElements(array($date));

Just to be clear, all other elements of the form work just fine; only the
Dojo date picker has problems.

Re: [fw-general] Unusual bug introduced with 1.7.1 in Zend_File.
Yep, $tmpdir is empty. That must mean none of the entire _getTmpDir method
works in my environment, at least in the context of $adapter-getFileName().
Looking over the _getTmpDir method it, I find that...
if (empty($this-_tmpDir)) {
// Attemp to detect by creating a temporary file
$tempFile = tempnam(md5(uniqid(rand(), TRUE)), '');
if ($tempFile) {
$tmpdir = realpath(dirname($tempFile));
unlink($tempFile);
} else
{
require_once 'Zend/File/Transfer/Exception.php';
throw new Zend_File_Transfer_Exception('Could not
determine temp directory');
}
}
it enters this conditional statement, yet seems to escape it without
throwing that exception. so the tempfile check isn't working. not 100% sure
what you guys are trying to do with this check, but whatever it is, it's not
working on my server :)

Cameron,
to go further with debugging you can see that your exception is called in
the file Abstract on line 948.
Now simply output the destination directory on line 947 so you can see
which directory you set.
Then check if the directory which is set there
* does exist
* has write access
Do this checks within your application as your user can have other rights
than the webserver.
I am sure you will see where the problem is.

This is default debugging strategy... there is no magic ZF action or

This works perfectly with 1.7.0, fails in 1.7.1 with a really odd problem -
it doesn't fail until the SECOND catch Exception, and the error it returns
is The given destination is no directory or does not exist, which it most
certainly does because the file is being uploaded and moved in to place just
fine, nor can I see how the setDestinaton method is being called by the
getFileName method?
This is all a bit too weird for me, I'm not really sure what's going on.
printing out variables as the setDestination method is being called shows a
perfectly fine path, and the file is being written... there's just this
exception being thrown at some point. If one of you Zend guys has a good
place for me to start debugging this one from I'm more than happy to help.

Ok, now theres a couple things here i'm unsure of.
Firstly because this is setup with the first select box not populated
because it is expecting data from a data store, how am I to pass this info

And Second, why am I getting the json error. Do I need to set something up
before hand for this to work.

with the URLs I'm calling to retrieve the data, but that's not a huge

First of all, here's your two form elements.
$this-addElement('FilteringSelect', 'fk_client_id', array(
'label'= 'Client:',
'storeId' = 'clientStore',
'storeType'= 'dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore',
'storeParams' = array( 'url' =

array(
'label'= 'Client contact:',
'storeId' = 'clientContactStore',
'storeType'= 'dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore',
'autoComplete' = 'false',
'hasDownArrow' = 'true',
'id' = 'fk_client_contact_id',
));
Now for the javascript, this has to appear somewhere on the page that
contains the form.
dojo.connect(dijit.byId('fk_client_id'), 'onChange', function () {
dijit.byId('fk_client_contact_id').store = new
dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore({ url:
/clientcontacts/autocomplete/format/ajax?autocomplete=1fk_client_id= +
dijit.byId(fk_client_id).value });
});
As for the URLs for the Datastores, they are kind of an exercise for the
reader, other than to say they obviously should filter correctly on the
passed parameters, and they have to return JSON. This part was pretty
annoying, but I eventually found that a function like this returns the
correct JSON format:
public function prepareAutoCompletion($data) {
$items = array();
foreach ($data as $key = $value) {
$items[] = array('label' = $value, 'name' = $value, 'key'
=
$key);
}
$final = array(
'identifier' = 'key',
'items' = $items,
);
return $this-encodeJson($final);
}
You pass in to the function an array of id = value pairs, and it will
output the correct JSON for the FilteringSelects. If you use the built in
AutoCompleteDojo helper, it won't use the id from your table as the value
that the form submits, which is pretty much useless.
Oh, and one more trick, for the Edit action, you are going to need to
include something like this:
$form-populate($row);
$form-getElement('fk_client_contact_id')-setStoreParams(array( 'url' =
'/clientcontacts/autocomplete/format/ajax?autocomplete=1fk_client_id='
.
$form-getElement('fk_client_id')-getValue() ));
So that it prepopulates the form correctly.

Re: [fw-general] Default value of a Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_DateTextBox in a Zend_Form
You need to pass the element an ISO date. Try something like this:
$date = new Zend_Date();
$date-set($row['date'], Zend_Date::ISO_8601);
$retarr['auction_date'] = $date-getIso();
Interestingly enough, the Time picker accepts the full ISO date too, if
you're using them. Unfortunately you need to do this for every date/time
dojo field and datetime you pull out of a mysql DB, because mysql misses the
T in the middle - although it happily accepts an ISO date as an input, it
stores it without. Quite annoying, really.

Hello all. I am attempting to use a Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_DateTextBox in

I am populating it with existing data. I am currently trying to use
-setValue on the element within the Zend_Form, and that works up to the

Just to be clear, all other elements of the form work just fine; only the
Dojo date picker has problems.

[fw-general] Zend_Date and Timezones - how do I turn them off?
Hi guys,
I'm just doing a bit of work with the Dojo date and time pickers, and it's
all going wonderfully, and I decided to use the Zend_Date::ISO_8601 method
for formatting the output from MySQL, which works perfectly well, all except
for the fact it's appending a timezone, which then goes and screws with the
time that gets displayed in the time picker - i wouldn't have noticed this
if it wasn't for DST!
Anyway, all I want is to basically turn off the whole timezone thing - I
don't need it for this project, and it's much more obvious for the time
stored in the DB to be the time of the event, not a GMT representation of
it. I tried $date-setTimezone(NULL); and $date-setTimezone(''); but I got
nothing. Of course I can chop the last 6 chars off the string and everything
will be fine, but i'd rather not have to resort to such clunkiness if at all
possible.
Re: [fw-general] Dynamically create dojo form elements
Dynamically adding form elements is painful, because of form validation issues. What I usually do is add all the possible form elements to the form up front, and then use JS / Controller logic to dictate what elements I should or shouldn't display. I guess you could store the form object in session and add/remove records from there. That would probably work too.

Re: [fw-general] Question on organising controllers
I'm pretty terrible at the whole MVC thing but I've done ok with a separate controller for each table (except for obvious exclusions like intersection tables or tiny tables for normalization purposes), and then extra controllers for stuff in your app, like users, and action helpers / bootstrap code for stuff that you'll use across all the controllers like logging or ACLs. One thing I will say is that you'll probably end up implementing a Base controller that all your other controllers inherit from. Apparently you are meant to use action helpers for stuff like that though, but eh... it works for me and it is pretty simple and easy to follow.

Below is the code involved:
$this-addElement('SubmitButton', 'submit', array(

);
This results in the following HTML being generated:
input content=Submit!! id=submit name=submit value=
type=submit //fieldset/form
Note the 'label' value from the addElement is placed within a 'content'
attribute in the HTML but the 'value' remains empty...?!
Am I doing something wrong? Apologies if so... This works perfectly fine in
ZF 1.6.1. I notice the Dojo CDN has changed to Google in the latest

Re: [fw-general] $form-populate and FilteringSelect using Dojo datastore doesn't work, issue tracker won't let me submit bug, nowhere else to turn
I've had a look at the version in the trunk, and it's not going to work for
anyone - maybe I'm crazy, but I've always thought selects were best used as
an id = value pair, so the id matches the id value in your database, so you
don't have to rely on clunky string matching. In the refactored version (and
it's the same in the old version too), we have this:
$items = array();
foreach ($data as $key = $value) {
$items[] = array('label' = $value, 'name' = $value);
}
$data = new Zend_Dojo_Data('name', $items);
Which submits a value = value pair to the drop down. Is it just me, or is
this a bit useless? I'm beginning to think this is the source of all the
problems I'm having with these things, that I'm trying to do this based on
ids rather than strings, but I'd have thought my use case was far more
common!

So you don't have to recreate it, the Autocomplete Helper is as follows.
It's a cut and paste of the work some other wonderful gentleman did, and I
turned off the validator because i was lazy.
class Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_AutoCompleteDojoNew extends
Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_AutoComplete_Abstract
{
public function validateData($data)
{
return true;
}
public function prepareAutoCompletion($data, $keepLayouts = false) {
$items = array();
foreach ($data as $key = $value) {
$items[] = array('label' = $value, 'name' = $value, 'key' =
$key);
}
$final = array(
'identifier' = 'key',
'items' = $items,
);
return $this-encodeJson($final, $keepLayouts);
}
}

Hi Cameron,

Let's get in to the code. I've trimmed the unimportant parts.

(this is a long story, I had to rewrite

As you can see, this is all pretty basic stuff, and follows (as far as I
can piece together) the best practices for doing this sort of thing. Now.
Here's the debugging information I've managed to coax out so far.
If you call print_r($this-form-getValues()) in the View script, it returns
this:

Re: [fw-general] Trouble with on Change in Zend_Form_Element_Select
Simple, really - dropdown lists that change their options depending on other
dropdown lists, but all done through Zend Dojo and using a nice clean MVC
interface. The classic example is Country / State - when you select the
Country from a dropdown, it refreshes the options available in the State
list to match the Country. This sort of functionality is pretty fundamental
stuff, and is really quite simple when you're just knocking it together in
regular ol' PHP/JS.
So far, I have a framework in place that builds these things really quite
cleanly, you can add a new pair of fields (or really as many as you want in
cascade, it should work fine) with 2 dojo divs and a tiny chunk of
Javascript, it just doesn't work when you're editing the row - the populate
method is passing the id value on to the view just fine, but I either need
to find a way to somehow trigger the options list to refresh on page load
(no idea if that will work, and I can't find any Dojo docs describing how to
do it), or, come up with a syntax that lets you pre-populate the dropdowns
while you're still assembling them in the Model. So far it seems that if you
addMultiOptions while there's a Store defined, the MultiOptions are ignored.
So I'm a bit stuck at the moment :/
I'd like to put a good tutorial together for this once it's done too,
because i'm sure a lot of other developers will need this in future, so it
will make fantastic SEO for my development company's blog :P

[fw-general] Zend Form populate method doesn't support FilteringSelect / ComboBoxes using a Dojo datastore.
Hi guys,
I've got some form elements built using Dojo data stores, basically like
this:
$this-addElement('FilteringSelect', 'client_id', array(
'label'= 'Client:',
'store' = 'clientStore',
'autoComplete' = 'false',
'hasDownArrow' = 'true',
'id' = 'client_id',
));
with
div dojoType=ClientReadStore jsId=clientStore
url=/clients/autocomplete/format/ajax
requestMethod=get/div
on the form page. But when I call $form-populate in the edit controller, it
is populating the value correctly (as confirmed by
print_r($this-form-getValues()) in the edit view), but the select isn't
displaying anything.
I'm assuming this is happening because the options aren't being generated
until after the first attempt to type something in to the select or click on
the down arrow, so I've tried adding an extra default option to fill out the
drop down while it's waiting for someone to click on something by going:
$form-getElement('client_id')-addMultiOption($id, $value);
in the controller, but it's no go. Doesn't work. The only other idea I've
got is somehow triggering the form to fill the dropdown list with JS when it
first loads, but I haven't found any documentation on such features, so I'm
basically shooting in the dark with it. So has anyone else solved this
issue? Or am I doing something wrong / missing the obvious?
Re: [fw-general] Zend_Db_Table_Rowset seek() question
I built something like this as a paginator for when you're on your item
view. What I did was build a simple class that implements the SPL Iterator
and Countable classes, just like the internal Zend_Paginator, but just uses
an array as its internal guts. Then I simply grabbed all the id fields from
my table and passed it as an array through to my paginator class'
constructor, and then called the setCurrentItem method to correctly position
the pointer in array. I have no idea if something like this helps you at
all, but it seemed a pretty clean way of solving my particular problem,
which was getting a next and previous button on my record display.
Here's the class anyway, if it helps.
class ItemPaginator implements Countable, Iterator
{
protected $collection;
protected $count;
protected $pointer_position;
public function __construct( $collection ) {
$this-collection = $collection;
$this-count = sizeof($this-collection);
}
public function count() {
return $this-count;
}
public function key() {
return $this-pointer_position;
}
public function current() {
return $this-collection[$this-pointer_position];
}
public function next() {
$this-pointer_position++;
}
public function rewind() {
$this-pointer_position = 0;
}
public function valid() {
return strlen( $this-collection ) $this-pointer_position;
}
public function getNextItem() {
if ($this-pointer_position $this-count) {
return $this-collection[$this-pointer_position + 1];
}
return false;
}
public function getPrevItem() {
if ($this-pointer_position 0 ) {
return $this-collection[$this-pointer_position - 1];
}
return false;
}
public function getFirstItem() {
if ($this-pointer_position 0 ) {
return $this-collection[0];
}
return false;
}
public function getLastItem() {
if ($this-pointer_position $this-count ) {
return $this-collection[$this-count - 1]; // -1 for the array
offset
}
return false;
}
public function setCurrentItem($item) {
$key = array_search($item, $this-collection);
if (FALSE !== $key) {
$this-pointer_position = $key;
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
Sorry if this is really terrible code that I should be implementing
completely differently, the SPL is all a bit new to me :)

Is this the expected behavior or am I missing something totally obvious?
This is with version 1.6.1. Should I just do 2 queries (a query to get
the required rows, then a count query without qualifier)?

[fw-general] Item paginators + Dojo Grids
Hi again, I'm trying to put together simple item paginators (ala the http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.paginator.usage.html example), and I'm just wondering what the best practice for something like this is when used with the Dojo grid. The Dojo grid takes care of the search pagination, so all we really need after that is item pagination, but it seems to be a pretty manual job to get that working in this context. Basically, the best way I've come up with so far to do this is as follows: 1. user browses the grid / conducts a search on the grid, which triggers the controller's list action 2. list action instances the model, the model hits the db, and retrieves the rows for the grid. 3. the model instances the paginator and stores it in a session 4. the user eventually selects a row from the grid, which triggers the display action 5. display action checks the session, and passes the last stored session paginator on to the view for displaying There's a couple of obvious problems, the main one being searches will get clobbered if the user conducts more than one at once, which can be avoided by a token in the URL or something, but even if you solve that, there's still some PHP-type problems, and I haven't really got a clean way around them yet. Basically, it seems cleanest to just instance the paginator in the model, because the $select is right there, you've applied all your criteria to it, it's perfect to pass on to the paginator factory right there and then, except... it doesn't work. You can't serialize a PDO object, so you can't keep the thing around long enough to get it in to a view. Well, using sessions at least. So far I've worked on using Zend_Paginator_Adaptor_Null and controlling it all manually with URL variables, which is possible, but it sounds pretty clunky, and really doesn't sound like what I'd call a best practice for this. DbSelect is out and Array probably won't help things much. So has anyone done this / got any good ideas? What would be beautiful if we could simplify item paginators down to as simple as they are with search paginators, something like $this-view-paginator = Zend_Paginator::factory($select);.

[fw-general] AJAX enabling of Zend + Dojo forms, and populating Select dependencies in an MVC environment, e.g. Country / State selects
Phew. Big title. I'm currently building a large scale application in Zend + Dojo, and with it being so new, I'm assuming I'm one of the first to attempt such undertaking. I have built it using Matthew Weier O'Phinney's Pastebox apphttp://weierophinney.net/matthew/archives/189-Pastebin-app-and-conference-updates.htmlas an example of the underlying MVC, and extended it to support accordian navigation, a heavily tabbed interface, JS onLoad for lazy-loaded content (it's all about WHERE you load it), XHR posts, extensive use of dojox grids (with AJAX search), it is a pretty full scale application so far, and it's all built in a very clean MVC fashion which I'm quite proud of. Now though, I'm up to one of the final stumbling blocks, and that is trying to AJAX up drop down selects built using Zend_Dojo_Form where there are dependencies, i.e., a select needs to be filled appropriately depending on the value of a parent select - a classic example being a Country select that changes the State select options. It is very simple indeed to add AJAX options to a single select, simply by giving the ComboBox / FilteringSelect a dojox data store and a searchAttr (although I can't see how to have an id = value pair, the form only submits values so far...), however, I can't find any examples on the Internet of people building dependent select boxes in Zend + Dojo. There's also a possible issue with the $form-populate method, meaning when we call the edit action in our controller, if too much of the logic that controls the multiple select boxes is client side, the populate method is going to act pretty weirdly. Has anyone managed to build something like this yet? I know the Zend + Dojo combination is very new, and therefore not many examples of code are out there yet, but this sort of functionality is pretty fundamental for modern applications. What I'd like to do is solve this problem in a really clean, standard Zend MVC way once and for all, and post the results on the Interwebs for everyone to use. As a starting point, I guess I should outline a list of ideal qualities in such a solution: - Uses basic Zend MVC layout, i.e. actions in a controller, separate form in the model - Form is built primarily in Zend_Dojo_Form and can use Dijit controls - The options in the select submit the id of the record, not the display value. - in the edit action of your controller, the $form-populate method functions correctly. - Ideally the data sources for the selects is a dojox.data.QueryReadStore that reads from a URL in the MVC structure that returns JSON (i.e. 'url' = '/clients/list-data/format/ajax'), this actually works by default in Pasteboxhttp://weierophinney.net/matthew/archives/189-Pastebin-app-and-conference-updates.html - The Javascript for controlling the form's onChange is able to be included in a single script type=dojo/connect event=onLoad That last part is important, as the advanced interfaces it's possible to build with Dijit layout tools are capable of XHR loading page content as they're going, meaning we have to be able to load the JS up front and not embed it on the form we're pulling in. If anyone is working on similar functionality or wants to contact me off-list to help build a demonstration version to, my email address is themselves at gmail dot com. Sorry for such a long post!

These results were ran multiple times and got the same numbers. The
only files required were those that were going to be needed for it to
run the script.

That doesn't even make common sense, autoload will never be faster
then straight require if the exact same number of files are called
each time, there is less overhead.
The only way for them to get the below results would of been to
include every file in propel straight out even if it wasn't used which
is just stupid.
File per file autoload is slower, If you know a file is going to be
needed without question you will get better performance if you require
it.
The best solution is to find a middle ground, what files get called
50%+ of the time in your application and preload those, let the rest
be autoloaded.
This would give you the best of both worlds, performance and flexability.

These are tests that were done for Propel, note that propel has now
gone to requiring spl_autoload because of these results.
this is using eaccel as apc was crashing for him, php 5.0.4, october 4th
(02:38:26) let's see if it crashes my apache like APC does
(02:38:35) nope!
(02:38:41) shit
(02:38:44) it's like 3x faster
(02:39:09) even w/o doing a huge list of require's
(02:39:11) lemme test
(02:41:03) ok
(02:41:06) so with eacc
(02:41:26) .25 req/sec with no accelerator (with or w/o require list)
(02:41:30) with eacc
(02:41:39) .55 req/sec w/autoload
(02:41:45) .49 w/ list of requires
the list of requires was literally just a list of
require('filea');
require('fileb');
etc at the top of the script. Yes, require, not require_once. No i
dont have how many files it was including here in my logs however
propel includes a lot of files so it should be a reasonable
comparison.
Can we please finally come to a conclusion on this subject? Test for
yourself or use these as a reference but PLEASE stop this FUD
surrounding autoload!
