Symfony propel file form widget editable

This is a simple editable file form widget:

If we have file_path field type varchar(255) in database, our widget will look like:

'file_path'        => new sfWidgetFormInputFileEditable(array('template' => '<div class="row file-editable-input">%input%</div><div class="row file-editable-remove"><ul class="inputs-list"><li><label>%delete%%delete_label%</label></li></ul></div><div class="row file-editable-img">%file%</div>',
        'file_src' =>  UPLOADS_DIR . $this->getObject()->getFilePath(),
        'is_image' => FALSE,
        'edit_mode' => TRUE,
        'delete_label' => __('Check this box if you want to remove current file'),
        'with_delete' => TRUE), array()),

And validator should look like:

'file_path' => new sfValidatorFile(array(
        'max_size' => Utils::getMaxUploadSize() * 1024 * 1024,
        'mime_types' => 'all_documents',
        'path' => UPLOADS_DIR,
        'required' => FALSE)),

And that's it. 'all_documents' is array of file extensions i creted in the validator file, along wit web_images and other. And off course your uploads dir must exist.

symfony admin generator examples from config:

I always loose much time looking for these simple generator.yml config settings:

With edit and new actions:

    config:
      actions:               ~
      fields:
        id:                  { label: "ID" }
        created_at:          { label: "Created At", date_format: "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss" }
      list:
        title:               Title
        display:             [id, word, created_at]
        max_per_page:        50
        sort:                [id, asc]
      filter:                ~
      form:                  ~
      edit:
        title:               Edit
      new:
        title:               New

Without new action, batch actions...:

    config:
      actions:               ~
      fields:
        id:                  { label: "ID" }
        created_at:          { label: "Created At", date_format: "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss" }
        
      list:
        title:               Title
        display:             [id, subject, description]
        max_per_page:        50
        sort:                [id, asc]
        actions:             []
        batch_actions:       []
        object_actions:
          _edit:             ~
      filter:                ~
      form:                  ~
      edit:
        title:               Edit
        actions:        
          _list:             ~
          _save:             ~
          _save_and_add:     ~
      new:
        title:               New

Symfony admin generator add custom criteria to filter

If you have in list field that doesn't exist as a database feild to the formFilter class you need to add your custom criteria for that field.

Note: function needs to be called addYourFieldNameColumnCriteria

Example: /lib/filter/User/UserFormFilterClass

public function addYourFilterColumnCriteria(Criteria $criteria, $field, $values)
  {
    $values = trim($values);
    if (!empty($values))
    {
      $criteria->add(YourPeer::FIELD_NAME, $values);
    }
  }

But sometimes $values returns an ampty array (I am not sure when), then you need to register you type of field and then to access it ina a different way:

public function addYOUR_FIELDColumnCriteria(Criteria $c, $field, $values)
  {
    $value = trim($values['text']);
    if (!empty($value))
    {
      // Your ciriteria
    }
  }
  public function getFields()
 {
  $fields = parent::getFields();
  $fields['YOUR_FIELD'] = 'Text';
  return $fields;
 }

Off course YourFilter, YourPeer, FIELD_NAME,YOUR_FIELD and field type you need to adjust to your needs.

Apache xampp virtual hosts configuration on mac

After installing xampp on mac you need to change permission for /xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf file. There is simple program for that, called BatChmod.

Next you need to enable it for user thsty you want:

Find:
User nobody
Group nogroup
Change it to:
User YOURUSERNAME
Group admin


If you projects are in another location you will need to change DocumentRoot in httpd.conf to you path, and also need to change line
<Directory "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs">
to you path, and "Deny from all" to "Allow from all" to this directory


After that uncomment
Include /Applications/XAMPP/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Here is where you put your virtual hosts. 

It should look like :

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
  ServerName yourdomain.dev
  DocumentRoot "/Users/username/projects/your_project"
  DirectoryIndex index.php
  <Directory "/Users/username/projects/your_project">
    Options +Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
    AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
  ServerName localhost
  DocumentRoot "/Users/username/projects/"
  DirectoryIndex index.php
  <Directory "/Users/username/projects/">
    Options +Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
    AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost> 
Last thing, add yourdomain to hosts

Open the Terminal and type:
sudo pico /etc/hosts

Now enter your admin password. You'll get a little text editor in the console. Go to the last line and add this line:
127.0.0.1 yourdomain.dev with the correct name for every virtual host you would like to set up. When you're done, type control-o, then enter and then control-x in order to save and close.

simple ajax call

This is part for the view script:

function addAdditional(lnk) {
        jQuery.ajax({
                        type: "POST",
                        url: "<?php echo $this->url(array('controller' => 'content', 'action' => 'vote'), 'default', true); ?>",
                        data: jQuery('#star-form').serialize()+'&content_id=' + <?php echo $this->content_id ?>,
                        success: function(res)
                        {
                            r = jQuery.parseJSON(res);
                            if(r.status == 'success')
                            {
                                if(r.saved == 'success') {
                                    $("#vote-button").next().html('Uspesno ste glasali!');
                                } else {
                                    $("#vote-button").next().html('Niste glasali. Pokusajte ponovo!');
                                }

                            }
                            else
                            {
                                $("#vote-button").next().html('Niste glasali. Pokusajte ponovo!');
                            }
                        }
                    });
        return false;
    }

Here is the controller action

public function voteAction() {
        $result = array(
            "status" => "",
            "saved" => "",
        );

        if ($ok) {
            //do code
            $result = array(
                "status" => "success",
                "saved" => "success",
            );
        } else {
            $result = array(
                "status" => "success",
                "saved" => "error",
            );
        }

        die(json_encode($result));
    }

Using selenium server with netbeans

Fisst of all you need to have php unit installed. PHPUnit should be installed using the PEAR INSTALLER. I didnt have go-pear.bat in my wamp 2.1, so i copied it from xamp server and ran "php -d phar.require_hash=0 PEAR/go-pear.phar" command, then you nedeed to upgrade pear using "pear install PEAR-1.9.3" command. Now install php Unit http://www.phpunit.de/manual/current/en/installation.html.

Now you can continue with http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/php/phpunit.html#installing-phpunit

Zend send variable to a form

We create variable that we need in controller:

$this->view->random = date('YmdHis').rand(10000, 9999).rand(10000, 9999);

Then we pass it to a form call in controller:

$this->view->form = new Application_Form_ContentGame(array('random'=>$this->view->random));

And in a form, we get it with:

$random = $this->getAttrib('random');
