Hey Scott, I guess you're right.. if the aggregate logger registers itself for the application.log event, it will simply stuff those log messages down into it's contained loggers, regardless of whether they are listening for this event themselves. Frankly, I think we have established that symfony

Hi Daniel, I'm attempting to implement your suggested method of custom logging, since I have a requirement of logging certain activities in my application outside the standard log files. I've called my event type activity.log for reference. Logging messages of type activity.log works. The

Hello So instead of $logger-info() I should write something like this? $this-getEventDispatcher()-notify(new sfEvent($this, 'blah.log', array('loglevel'='info', 'msg'='hello world')); Well, that would not exactly be more elegant than: $logger = BlahLogger::getInstance()-info(hello world);

It's longer perhaps but more elegant? You betcha! It doesn't create a new dependency in your code because your logger could also *not* be there and the code would still work. Cheers, Daniel On 26.02.2010, at 12:57, Christian Hammers wrote: Hello So instead of $logger-info() I should write

Oh, if the logging does not work because classes go lost, I'd rather want the programm to terminate :) But thanks anyway, the event handling does not sound uninteresting, maybe I can use it for something else somewhen. bye, -christian- On Fri, 26 Feb 2010 13:42:08 +0100 Daniel Lohse

What Daniel said.. Plus, for convenience you can always create a local log method on whatever object you're logging from that wraps the calls to the event- dispatcher. Then you have elegant and short. Daniel On Feb 26, 5:34 am, Christian Hammers c...@lathspell.de wrote: Oh, if the logging

Hello But how do I get an instance of this class? Or maybe we have a misunderstanding: I do not want $this-getLogger()-info() to log into the default logfile as well as into my custom logfile. I want separate logfile just for special notes which should also not appear in the regular log files.

Hey Chris, you don't need to interact with this logger directly. It just sits there and listens for your custom logging events. The dispatcher is what you need to worry about, since that's used to dispatch the events in the first place. You'll find that the dispatcher is more available throughout

Hello Thanks for this hint! I could not figure out how to use the factory.yml without interfering with the standard logger as you apparently can't create arbitrary objects with it. But after adding the following function: class BlahLogger { public static function getInstance() {

Hey Christian, it's simpler than that. Look in your factories.yml at the bottom where the loggers are being set up. The main logger is an aggregate logger, and you can add your logger to this like so: (under loggers) my_logger: class: BlahLogger param: level: whateverlevel file:

Hey Christian, yeah, I've had some trouble with that as well, but I think I found a good solution. First, I continue to use the regular event system to send log events, but I send events of type blah.log instead of application.log. Now, to catch those you have to implement a custom logger like
