use YML for storing data in db

symfony — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:09:06 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 — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:09:06 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.

I’m wondering if there are available admin themes somewhere. It’s really strange but simple googl

symfony — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:09:06 GMT

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..

Symfony Plugin Symlinks

digitalbase — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:09:06 GMT

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.

Output Escaping / XSS protection

symfony — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:09:06 GMT

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.

Forms Validation with Symfony and Prototype

symfony — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:09:06 GMT

The last two installments of this ongoing PHP series focused on the advantages of frameworks, demonstrating just how much time and effort they can eliminate doing otherwise tedious tasks such as building backend management scaffolds and performing forms validation. These tutorials focused on the increasingly popular CakePHP framework, however in this installment I'll switch gears a bit and instead examine my preferred framework solution: symfony. Specifically, I'll show you how symfony's built-in support for the Prototype JavaScript framework can greatly enhance the user experience within your applications.
