Use the DbFinderPlugin - my FAVOURITE plugin. Francois converted quite a few of his plugins to use DbFinder - for instance, sfSimpleBlog is a great example.
I'd like to see a lot more plugins migrated to use DbFinder instead of either Propel or Doctrine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robin Berjon" <ro...@berjon.com> To: symfony-users@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 2:10:50 PM GMT +00:00 GMT Britain, Ireland, Portugal Subject: [symfony-users] Re: Could Symfony be easier to use? The Propel/Doctrine thing is always annoying. I haven't got around to writing a plugin yet, but is it really hard to write a plugin that works independently of the ORM? If possible, I understand that this can't be enforced upon plugin developers, but it should be considered best practice. A lot of good work went into abstracting the DB layer away, and all we've done is paint ourselves into the same corner two layers up. I'd joke about an ORMM (Object-Relational Mapper Mapper) but it's actually not so funny. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
