Symfony observe_field on radio button (radiobutton_tag)

Symfony ???time??? input field

narko — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 22:52:12 GMT

use YML for storing data in db

symfony — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 22:52:12 GMT

Sometimes you may need to store complicated data with non-fixed fields/data types in table. There are different ways for that but if we use symfony where YML is so native and good known - why dont store data in table as YML-formed value.

symfony — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 22:52:12 GMT

I must say the older I’m getting the more pessimistic I’m about new technologies. All this buzz around RIA .. I was never tried to understand what is going on there, technologies are changing one other: Laszlo, OpenLaszlo, Flex, AIR, Silverlight.

Full I18N with ysfDimensionsPlugin

narko — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 22:52:12 GMT
