I need to have some configuration for my bundle in Symfony2
Where is the best place to put them?
and how can I retrieve them from there?
I used my Default DB parameters in PARAMETERS.INI But I need Extra ones that I can retrieve them personally in code.
One should keep his parameters inside the bundles, for instance
src/Company/SomeBundle/Resources/config/parameters.yml
To define any extra parameters you need, define them in your config.yml file. Something like:
# app/config/config.yml
parameters:
my_mailer.class: Acme\HelloBundle\Mailer
my_mailer.transport: sendmail
Then you can retrieve them anywhere that the service container is available, for example inside a controller, just like you retrieve any other service like doctrine or swiftmailer. For example, in a controller, do
$transport = $this->get('my_mailer.transport');
If you want, you can define these parameters in paramters.ini, you will get the same result.
See the How to expose a Semantic Configuration for a Bundle cookbook entry. One of the advantages of this approach is that you can validate the configuration.
use different parts in parameters.ini file. You could have a prod1 environment using parameters prefixed with prod1 and a prod2 with the same:
parameters.ini:
[parameters]
prod1_database_driver = pdo_mysql
prod1_database_host = 127.0.0.1
# ...
prod2_database_driver = pdo_mysql
prod2_database_host = localhost
They both use the prod.yml configuration but overwrite the stuff you want to read from the parameters.ini:
config_prod1.yml:
imports:
- { resource: config_prod.yml }
// .. overwrite stuff here

I am working on a drupal7 site.
In Dev, I have enabled and configured simplesamlphp_auth module.
I used features and strongarm to export the configuration to code.
The downloaded feature contain:
myfeature_sso.features.defaultconfig.inc
myfeature_sso.info
myfeature_sso.module
The .inc file contains the configuration values I had put in (admin/config/people/simplesamlphp_auth) correctly
Now, in a few places, I want to replace the hard coded values with variables that change based on the environment. I set the variables at the top of .inc file using variable_get $office_ou = variable_get('office_ou', NULL); ...and . A quick example is $base_url below:
$strongarm = new stdClass();
$strongarm->disabled = FALSE;
$strongarm->api_version = 1;
$strongarm->name = 'simplesamlphp_auth_logoutgotourl';
$strongarm->value = $base_url ;
$export['simplesamlphp_auth_logoutgotourl'] = $strongarm;
When I DPM these variables, they display correct values.
But on a fresh install when I enable myfeature_sso module the value of variables are missing.
missing value from $base_url variable
Can you please point me in the right direction?
Thank you.
I found the answer:
when in features ui, do not add fields relevant to simplesamle to the defaultconfig section. if you have any there remove them.
add fields relevant to simplesaml to storongarm section
export the feature
in your_feature_name.strongarm.inc add any additional php code to function your_feature_name_strongarm()
done
Tried to find a solution, but I got always stuck a the docs or at answers include other bundles. In the documentation of the dynamic router you can find the hint:
"Of course you can also have several parameters, as with normal Symfony routes. The semantics and rules for patterns, defaults and requirements are exactly the same as in core routes."
Thats it.
...
/foo/{id}/bar
I tried (seems not) everything to get it done.
Same for all tries:
I tried it to apply a variable pattern and a child route.
use Symfony\Cmf\Bundle\RoutingBundle\Doctrine\Phpcr\Route as PhpcrRoute;
$dm = $this->get('cmf_routing.route_provider');
$route = new PhpcrRoute();
$route->setPosition( $dm->find( null, '/cms/routes' ), 'foo' );
$route->setVariablePattern('/{id}');
$dm->persist( $route );
$child = new PhpcrRoute();
$child->setPosition( $route, 'bar' );
$dm->persist( $child );
$dm->flush();
With or without default value and requirement only '/foo/bar' and '/foo/*' return matches, but '/foo/1/bar' prompts me with a 'No route found for "GET /foo/1/bar"'.
...
Just now I nearly got it done.
use Symfony\Cmf\Bundle\RoutingBundle\Doctrine\Phpcr\Route as PhpcrRoute;
$dm = $this->get('cmf_routing.route_provider');
$route = new PhpcrRoute();
$route->setPosition( $dm->find( null, '/cms/routes' ), 'example_route' );
$dm->persist( $route );
$route->setPrefix( '/cms/routes/example_route' );
$route->setPath( '/foo/{id}/bar' );
$dm->flush();
If prefix is '/cms/routes' and name is 'foo' everything works fine. But now that I got this far, assigning a speaking name would round it up.
Thanks in advice!
You got quite close to the solution, actually!
When using PHPCR-ODM, the route document id is its path in the repository. PHPCR stores all content in a tree, so every document needs to be in a specific place in the tree. We then use the prefix to get a URL to match. If the prefix is configured as /cms/routes and the request is for /foo, the router looks in /cms/routes/foo. To allow parameters, you can use setVariablePattern as you correctly assumed. For the use case of /foo/{id}/bar, you need to do setVariablePattern('/{id}/bar'). You could also have setVariablePattern('/{context}/{id}') (this is what the doc paragraph you quoted meant - i will look into adding an example there as its indeed not helpful to say "you can do this" but not explain how to).
Calling setPath is not recommended as its just less explicit - but as you noticed, it would get the job done. See the phpdoc and implementation of Model\Route::setPattern:
/**
* It is recommended to use setVariablePattern to just set the part after
* the static part. If you use this method, it will ensure that the
* static part is not changed and only change the variable part.
*
* When using PHPCR-ODM, make sure to persist the route before calling this
* to have the id field initialized.
*/
public function setPath($pattern)
{
$len = strlen($this->getStaticPrefix());
if (strncmp($this->getStaticPrefix(), $pattern, $len)) {
throw new \InvalidArgumentException('You can not set a pattern for the route that does not start with its current static prefix. First update the static prefix or directly use setVariablePattern.');
}
return $this->setVariablePattern(substr($pattern, $len));
}
About explicit names: The repository path is also the name of the route, in the example /cms/routes/foo. But it is not a good idea to use a route name of a dynamic route in your code, as those routes are supposed to be editable (and deletable) by an admin. If you have a route that exists for sure and is at a specific path, use the configured symfony routes (the routing.yml file). If its dynamic routes, have a look at the CMF Resource Bundle. It allows to define a role for a document and a way to look up documents by role. If you have a route with a specific role that you want to link to from your controller / template, this is the way to go. If you have a content document that is linked with a route document and have that content document available, your third and best option is to generate the URL from the content document. The CMF dynamic router can do that, just use the content object where you normally specify the route name.
I got a question. I have a db table with settings (id, name).
If I read them from the db
$settings = $this->Setting->find('list');
How can I do this in the AppController or something like that to access from each Controller and Model?
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks
Explanation:
I would assume you're looking for something like below (Obviously you'll want to tweak it per your own application, but - it's the idea).
In the app controller, it
finds the settings from the table
repeats through each and puts each one into a "Configure" variable
Code:
/**
* Read settings from DB and populate them in constants
*/
function fetchSettings(){
$this->loadModel('Setting');
$settings = $this->Setting->findAll();
foreach($settings as $settingsData) {
$value = $settingsData['Setting']['default_value'];
//note: can't check for !empty because some values are 0 (zero)
if(isset($settingsData['Setting']['value'])
&& $settingsData['Setting']['value'] !== null
&& $settingsData['Setting']['value'] !== '') {
$value = $settingsData['Setting']['value'];
}
Configure::write($settingsData['Setting']['key'], $value);
}
}
Then, you can access them anywhere in your app via Configure::read('myVar');
A warning from the CakePHP book about Configure variables. (I think they're fine to use in this case, but - something to keep in mind):
CakePHP’s Configure class can be used to store and retrieve
application or runtime specific values. Be careful, this class allows
you to store anything in it, then use it in any other part of your
code: a sure temptation to break the MVC pattern CakePHP was designed
for. The main goal of Configure class is to keep centralized variables
that can be shared between many objects. Remember to try to live by
“convention over configuration” and you won’t end up breaking the MVC
structure we’ve set in place.
I want to access two databases in Play Scala with anorm and Magic[T], (one is H2 and another is PostgreSQL). I just don't know how to config it...
I noticed that we can set another database connection in conf/application.conf
db_other.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test
db_other.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
db_other.user=root
db_other.pass=
However, how can I use it with Magic?
(I read the source code of Magic but don't understand it... my am a freshman of Scala)
Anyhow, if multiple database access is impossible with Magic[T] , I wish to do it with anorm, then how can I config it?
var sqlQuery = SQL( //I guess some config params should be set here, but how?
"""
select * from Country
"""
)
In play.api.db.DB it appears you can pass in a string of the name you defined in application.conf.
Then use one of the methods specified here: http://www.playframework.org/documentation/2.0/ScalaDatabase
# play.api.db.DB.class
def withConnection[A](name : scala.Predef.String)(block : scala.Function1[java.sql.Connection, A])(implicit app : play.api.Application) : A = { /* compiled code */ }
I have been using PyroCMS and CI for quite some time, and truly love it.
I am extending a DB module that will allow an admin user to manage a DB without having to use something like phpMyAdmin.
The only thing I have been able to get working however is Browsing a table's field values (i.e 'SELECT * FROM 'table_name').
I want to include more functions, but I can't seem to get dbforge to work properly. I know it is loaded because dbforge is used to uninstall modules. I also get no error when calling functions from it.
Here is an example of my code from the controller (dbforge has already been loaded).
public function drop($table_name)
{
$table_name = $this->uri->segment(4);
$this->dbforge->drop_table($table_name);
redirect('admin/database/tables');
}
Lets say the function gets called from this url:
.../admin/database/drop/table_name
It appears to work... but instead it just redirects to the tables overview.
Is there something I am missing? Shouldn't [$this->dbforge->drop_table($table_name);] always drop a table (given $table_name is valid)?
EDIT
As a work around, I was able to use:
public function drop($table_name)
{
$table_name = $this->uri->segment(4);
//$this->dbforge->drop_table($table_name);
$this->db->query("DROP TABLE ".$table_name);
redirect('admin/database/tables');
return TRUE;
}
I really would like to use DB forge, however...
I think you might be getting a little confused by the site prefixes in PyroCMS 1.3.x.
By default all installations of Community and Professional will have default_ as a prefix for all tables in the first site. If you have Professional you can add new sites and the site reference will be whatever_ instead of default_
This prefix is accounted for by dbforge, so when you want to delete default_blog you would just delete:
/admin/database/drop/blog
Also, why are you accepting the $table_name as an argument then overriding it with a uri segment?

See what I did there? xD
public function drop($table_name)
{
$this->dbforge->drop_table($table_name);
redirect('admin/database/tables');
