I was never had a chance to speed up symfony project performance. I always knew there are a bunch of cache plugins but also always performance was enough good even without any type of caching. Join discussion...

I’m pretty sure you’ve already heard of Google Gears (now it’s just “Gears” as the other companies along with Google joined to the development process), so just to remind Gears is a browsers plug-in which makes possible your site works offline on users machines.

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. Join discussion...

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. Join discussion...

I’m wondering if there are available admin themes somewhere. It’s really strange but simple googling and search on symfony forum does not give me anything new. What I knew before is good Joomla-like theme available here (this one is easy to use and integrate): http://www.symfony-project.org/forum/index.php/m/16515/ also there is available plugin based on ExtJs but it seems in early development (and it’s pretty slow at least when I tested it out): http://trac.symfony-project.com/wiki/sfExtjsThemePlugin There is also plugin which provide distinct configurations between create and edit actions: http://trac.symfony-project.com/wiki/sfAdvancedAdminGeneratorPlugin And that’s all? I bet there must be guys who has own themes ( themesholders ) Why I’m started to talk about all this stuff. I found today in my RSSs this link and thought how good it would be if someone integrates such theme for symfony: http://webresourcesdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/file/admin-template/index.html Maybe someday me..

as you know we propose 2 additional services along with writing about symfony. First one is articles voting service and the other one is twitter symfony community. Voting one is a good chance to read usefull articles and dont waste time on the other ones. We aggregate most of articles and then we personally vote only for the best ones. Community on twitter helps you to have some fun from reading what are talking symfony developers about. This community exists more than month and it’s slowly growing each day. Guys are talking about food, movies, new projects, share links. Join discussion...

When installing plugins in your Symfony application, the installation process sometimes places a symbolic link in the public web directory, to the plugin web directory. In Linux those symlinks work just fine, but when a collegue checks out the code in Windows, those symlinks are degrated to ordinary files without extensions. Windows does not know what to do with them. Join discussion...

Symfony is just great, but don't stop thinking for yourself! After working with this magnificent php framework on several projects, i can absolutely say that i'm hooked to this great tool. It takes a lot of coding out of my hands so i can spend time on the business logic, instead of doing the standard stuff over and over again. Join discussion...
