i have used laravel shortcodes (https://github.com/webwizo/laravel-shortcodes) with success, it is a nice bundle.
the question is: is there any bundle like this for symfony 3.x?
what this essentially do is take formatted string like [myString] with some optional parameters like [myString param1="abc" param2="def" ...] from a rendered blade / twig and looks for a controller / function etc. to resolve "myString". it passes the params to the controller, and the whole [...] stuff is replaced with the returned output. and it is done recursivly, so the result may contain another [myString2 ...] and so on. this is very useful in CMS building.
does anyone know anything like this for symfony?
There is a bundle that looks exactly what you are searching for:

Kind of a weird and specific question but here I go.
I can currently pull all my products through YAML and through some really brute-force methods, I would be able to sort the product out by custom fields.
I have a multiple choice wizard the user has to fill and in the end, I get an object that looks something like this:
{
stoneType: ['Granite', 'Quartz', 'Glass'],
stoneFinish: ['Polished', 'Honed'],
stoneConcern: ['Floor Care'],
labels: ['Daily Cleaning', 'Stain Removal']
}
I can't (or at least I don't know how) to get this data into my HTML to use the data stored in my YAML code and render the specific products.
I believe I can solve this issue if I were able to pass the array of products into javascript using some sort of handlebars helper(?) but Bigcommerce doesn't allow for custom helper functions.
I read online that you can bypass this by installing handlebars but that is not working for me.
When I installed handlebars through NPM, I get this error:
GET http://localhost:3000/stencil/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001/dist/theme-bundle.main.js 404 (Not Found)
Is there a way for me to get custom helper functions working or another possible idea to sort & filter the products?
Thank you, appreciate the help.
EDIT: I have also tried manually downloading Handlebars.js including the file but I get the error Handlebars is not defined. I must be doing something wrong...
Preface: in ez4 i remember there was a tpl function to read ini settings, we used to use this to pass specific locations or id's with which we could then render certain content.
In ezplatform I am now doing the same thing but by using the PreContentViewListener (in the PreContentViewListener read a yml file and pass into the view as params), but this doesn't feel like the correct way as the PreContentViewListener doesn't always get triggered, in custom controllers for example.
Question
Is there a native way to read yaml files from within twig templates? After searching the docs and available packagists i cannot find anything :/
If your needs are simple (i.e. reading container parameters), you can also use eZ Publish config resolver component which is available in any Twig template with ezpublish.configResolver.
You can specify a siteaccess aware parameter in format <namespace>.<scope>.<param_name>, like this:
parameters:
app.default.param.name: 'Default param value'
app.eng.param.name: 'English param value'
app.cro.param.name: 'Croatian param value'
where default, eng and cro are different eZ Publish scopes.
You can then use the config resolver to fetch the parameter in current scope with:
{{ ezpublish.configResolver.parameter('param.name', 'app') }}
If you have Legacy Bridge installed, this even falls back to legacy INI settings if no Symfony container parameter exists:
{{ ezpublish.configResolver.parameter('SiteSettings.SiteName', 'site') }}
Disclaimer: Some say that using config resolver is bad practice, but for simpler usecases it is okay, IMO.
Have a look to our CjwPublishToolsBundle.
https://github.com/cjw-network/CjwPublishToolsBundle
https://github.com/cjw-network/CjwPublishToolsBundle/blob/master/Services/TwigConfigFunctionsService.php
Here we have 2 wrapper twig functions
{{cjw_config_resolver_get_parameter ( 'yamlvariablename', 'namespace default ezsettings') }}
=> ezpublish siteaccessmatching
{{cjw_config_get_parameter( 'mailer_transport' )}}
=> core symfony yaml reader without siteaccess
You could do a lot of things in eZ 4 and not always really good for your application design. ezini was able to read the configuration from the template but now in eZ Platform and by extension Symfony you need to respect more common patterns. IMO the view should not be that smart.
Then injecting variables to the view from a listener (PreContentViewListener or your own) is not a bad idea.
You can also use the Twig Globals that could allow you to do 2 global things:
inject variables (1)
inject a service (2)
Look here: https://symfony.com/doc/current/templating/global_variables.html
(2): please don't inject the service container globally it is bad
(1): I don't remember if the Twig Globals are Site Access aware, if not injecting your own service (2) to manage access to the config might be better.
And finally, I think that the use case is not a common one:
we used to use this to pass specific locations or id's with which we could then render certain content.
Most of the time it is a bad idea to pass ids coming from the configuration to render something, it is much better to organize the content structure to let you pull the location you want using the PHP API. (no id in configuration no hassle with dev, stage, preprod and prod architecture)
I am new to symfony.While going through an error template I came across value a value like
#Twig/Exception/traces_text.html.twig
Just wanted to know where is #Twig defined in symfony framework
Just google twig traces_text.html.twig and you'll see the file here: https://github.com/symfony/twig-bundle/blob/master/Resources/views/Exception/traces_text.html.twig
symfony/twig-bundle/Resources/views/Exception/traces_text.html.twig
Or use your IDE and search the vendor/ folder for the traces_text.html.twig file until you find it.
I want to give my users the possibility to create document templates (contracts, emails, etc.)
The best option I figured out would be to store these document templates in mongo (maybe I'm wrong...)
I've been searching for a couple of hours now but I can't figure out how to render these document template with their data context.
Example:
Template stored in Mongo: "Dear {{firstname}}"
data context: {firstname: "Tom"}
On Tom's website, He should read: "Dear Tom"
How can I do this?
EDIT
After some researches, I discovered a package called spacebars-compiler that brings the option to compile to the client:
meteor add spacebars-compiler
I then tried something like this:
Template.doctypesList.rendered = ->
content = "<div>" + this.data.content + "</div>"
template = Spacebars.compile content
rendered = UI.dynamic(template,{name:"nicolas"})
UI.insert(rendered, $(this).closest(".widget-body"))
but it doesn't work.
the template gets compiled but then, I don't know how to interpret it with its data context and to send it back to the web page.
EDIT 2
I'm getting closer thanks to Tom.
This is what I did:
Template.doctypesList.rendered = ->
content = this.data.content
console.log content
templateName = "template_#{this.data._id}"
Template.__define__(templateName, () -> content)
rendered = UI.renderWithData(eval("Template.#{templateName}"),{name:"nicolas"})
UI.insert(rendered, $("#content_" + this.data._id).get(0))
This works excepted the fact that the name is not injected into the template. UI.renderWithData renders the template but without the data context...
The thing your are missing is the call to (undocumented!) Template.__define__ which requires the template name (pick something unique and clever) as the first argument and the render function which you get from your space bars compiler. When it is done you can use {{> UI.dynamic}} as #Slava suggested.
There is also another way to do it, by using UI.Component API, but I guess it's pretty unstable at the moment, so maybe I will skip this, at least for now.
Use UI.dynamic: https://www.discovermeteor.com/blog/blaze-dynamic-template-includes/
It is fairly new and didn't make its way to docs for some reason.
There are few ways to achieve what you want, but I would do it like this:
You're probably already using underscore.js, if not Meteor has core package for it.
You could use underscore templates (http://underscorejs.org/#template) like this:
var templateString = 'Dear <%= firstname %>'
and later compile it using
_.template(templateString, {firstname: "Tom"})
to get Dear Tom.
Of course you can store templateString in MongoDB in the meantime.
You can set delimiters to whatever you want, <%= %> is just the default.
Compiled template is essentially htmljs notation Meteor uses (or so I suppose) and it uses Template.template_name.lookup to render correct data. Check in console if Template.template_name.lookup("data_helper")() returns the correct data.
I recently had to solve this exact (or similar) problem of compiling templates client side. You need to make sure the order of things is like this:
Compiled template is present on client
Template data is present (verify with Template.template_name.lookup("data_name")() )
Render the template on page now
To compile the template, as #apendua have suggested, use (this is how I use it and it works for me)
Template.__define__(name, eval(Spacebars.compile(
newHtml, {
isTemplate: true,
sourceName: 'Template "' + name + '"'
}
)));
After this you need to make sure the data you want to render in template is available before you actually render the template on page. This is what I use for rendering template on page:
UI.DomRange.insert(UI.render(Template.template_name).dom, document.body);
Although my use case for rendering templates client side is somewhat different (my task was to live update the changed template overriding meteor's hot code push), but this worked best among different methods of rendering the template.
You can check my very early stage package which does this here: https://github.com/channikhabra/meteor-live-update/blob/master/js/live-update.js
I am fairly new to real-world programming so my code might be ugly, but may be it'll give you some pointers to solve your problem. (If you find me doing something stupid in there, or see something which is better done some other way, please feel free to drop a comment. That's the only way I get feedback for improvement as I am new and essentially code alone sitting in my dark corner).
We are transforming PHP Application to Symfony2 Application.
Most of the pages we are completely writing new but some pages we decided to keep it as it is. i.e I want to use the same php without any major change.
In the php page we used GET['prospect_id'], GET['executive_id'] and many other arguments. Both GET and Post methods. When I view the page in Symfony1.4 there is no error or warning.
But when I view in Symfony 2 I am getting undefined index error.
How can I solve the issue?
EDIT: if GET['prospect_id'] is null there is no error in Symfony 1.4 but i'm getting undefined index notice in Symfony2. There are many variables like that. Is it necessary to define variable before use it. How to avoid this notice message.
What i want is if i am using $_GET['xxx']. symfony2 should not show any notice or error. i want to escape from that.
Use (in Symfony2) the controllers request-object, to get those params:
$this->request->get('prospect_id');
$this->request->get('executive_id');
You can also set default values, if there is no value given. Take a look at this documentation.
