I'm using Symfony2 (soon 3), and we got some translations that are stored in the Database.
This means that when we run cache:clear the translations are fetched from the database and stored in the cache (on disk).
This also means users can change the translations directly in the database, but those changes aren't visible immediately.
Is there a way to only clear the translation cache files in Symfony? Without refreshing the whole cache?
I do this so
$cacheDir = dirname($this->getParameter('kernel.cache_dir'));
foreach (['prod', 'dev'] as $env) {
array_map('unlink', glob("$cacheDir/$env/translations/*"));
}
Just to complete answers already provided, removing the translations folder in cache/ won't be enough if you need to take new translation files into account.
For that, you'll need to also remove the file caching the path of all ressources and asset file.
Its name depends on the environment: appDevDebugProjectContainer.php or appProdProjectContainer.php.
So based on #Atmarama answer:
$cacheDir = dirname($this->getParameter('kernel.cache_dir'));
foreach (['prod', 'dev'] as $env) {
array_map('unlink', glob("$cacheDir/$env/translations/*"));
array_map('unlink', glob("$cacheDir/$env/app*ProjectContainer.php"));
}
Tested with Symfony 3.3.x.
Running ./bin/console cache:clear does not provide any options as to which cache folder should be removed. It just clears the complete folder and only handling warmup is configurable using options. For reference see the CacheClearCommand in the FrameworkBundle.
You could write your own command though that only checks for the translation-cache dir and clears it. By default it resides in a subfolder translations/ which should be easily accessible with a finder like this:
$finder = (new Finder)->in($cacheDir.'/'.$env)->directories()->name('translations');
foreach ($finder as $translationsDir) {
rmdir($translationDir->getPathname();
}

I have a Symfony 4 app which is complete and working. Any uploaded files are put inside an upload folder outside the doc root and accessed via a separate cdn url.
Inside the upload folder I have a htaccess file that redirects any request, let’s say for example an image, to a php file which then serves the image.
What I want to be able to do is send an auth key along with the image request so that the standalone index.php file can check the user is valid from the database.
This means I need some way of accessing the symfony entity manager from outside of symfony, by including it. The other option would be a curl request to a symfony controller, but I’d rather not add additional network requests if possible. The third option is a separate pdo direct to the database and make sql queries... but again I’d prefer to use the symfony entity manager by including symfony somehow so I can use other features if needed.
I actually tried including the symfony bootstrap in the index.php but that then drags in the need for routing to work which isn’t needed in this case.
You can access EntityManager like that:
require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
(new Dotenv())->load(__DIR__.'/../.env');
$kernel = new Kernel('dev', true);
$kernel->boot();
$user = $kernel->getContainer()->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager')->getRepository(Repo::class)->find(id);
dd($user->getRoles());
Within my meteor app I've created a private directory.
With meteor v. <0.9 the files in that directory have been available in '.meteor/local/build/programs/server/assets/app'
However now, using Meteor 0.9.2, the files are not there and I also can't access them via 'Assets.'
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?
I found the solution...whenever there is no JavaScript file present in the root folder of the meteor project, meteor somehow doesn't make the private files accessible (all my code is inside subfolders and packages). I solved the issue by adding an empty main.js file to the root folder, and voilà...the files can be accessed. I tried this across several projects and that really seems to be the issue. Very weird behavior indeed, since it doesn't even give me an error message.
I am taking a JSON file from the private directory, parsing the data and then inserting it into a collection on meteor startup. The JSON file is called categories.json with the file structure being /private/categories.json . The parsing and inserting code is below:
var data = JSON.parse(Assets.getText('categories.json'));
for (var i in data) {
Categories.insert({name:data[i].name});
}
I have done the following checklist:
created translation file respecting format domain.lang.loader
cleared cache
checked that language catalogue is created in cache folder
Though in my twig template file,
{{ 'message'|trans }}
never translates.
Where can I look next in order to make translations work?
Is there any chance that Doctrine Translatable Extension that I am using generates some kind of conflicts?
In Symfony 3.0 I had to clear the cache:
php bin/console cache:clear
I see you already did that, maybe it helps other like me.
Have you enabled the Translator service in your config file?
framework:
translator: { fallbacks: en }
The language catalogue is created in your cache folder irrespective of whether your translator is enabled or not.
Did you try translating in your controller?
$trans = $this->get('translator')->trans('message');
Try to specify domain. If you not specify domain by default it a messages.
{{ 'message'|trans({}, 'some_domain') }}
Then translations can be found in
the kernel root directory/Resources/translations directory;
the kernel root directory/Resources/bundle name/translations
directory;
the Resources/translations/ directory of the bundle.
For example some_domain.fr.yml. Last step is to configure your locale. You can get current locale from request with $request->getLocale()
P.S. try to rm -r app/cache to make sure that the cache is deleted
I could use one of the translations, but not the other and didn't know why. If you have troubles with translations also, read this.
First, standard checklist:
Make sure you enabled and configured translator.
Make sure translation is in proper place and follows proper naming convenction ( domain(messages by default).lang_code.file_format ).
Clear cache using php app/console cache:clear command.
Try to manually call $this->getRequest()->setLocale('en'); in Controller, also you may try to use $this->get('translator')->trans('Some message'); directly in your Controller.
If it still doesn't work, make sure BOM isn't in your translated file. That was my case.
Watch out for BOM in the translated file. The translator who translates the yml file used UTF8 which is OK, but editor he used leaved BOM at the beginning of the file. This is dangerous probably because of PHP's UTF8 BOM bug as it adds few invisible characters to first section of your file.
Btw, debugging your translations may be very helpful, too.
According to the Symfony Translations Documentation page, if you are not using a Service Container for your translation purpose, these are simple steps to go:
Enable and configure Symfony's translation service.
YAML
framework:
translator: { fallbacks: [en] }
PHP
$container->loadFromExtension('framework', array(
'translator' => array('fallbacks' => array('en')),
));
Abstract strings (i.e. "messages") by wrapping them in calls to the Translator ("Basic Translation").
public function indexAction()
{
$translated = $this->get('translator')->trans('Symfony is great');
return new Response($translated);
}
Create translation resources/files for each supported locale that translate each message in the application.
Symfony looks for message files (i.e. translations) in the following default locations:
the app/Resources/translations directory;
the app/Resources/<bundle name>/translations directory;
the Resources/translations/ directory inside of any bundle.
Translation File Name
The filename of the translation files is also important: each message file must be named according to the following path: domain.locale.loader (e.g. filename: navigation.en.xlf):
domain: An optional way to organize messages into groups (e.g. admin, navigation or the default messages) - see Using Message Domains;
locale: The locale that the translations are for (e.g. en_GB, en, etc);
loader: How Symfony should load and parse the file (e.g. xlf, php, yml, etc).
The loader can be the name of any registered loader. By default, Symfony provides many loaders, including:
xlf: XLIFF file;
php: PHP file;
yml: YAML file.
The choice of which loader to use is entirely up to you and is a matter of taste. The recommended option is to use xlf for translations.
Determine, set and manage the user's locale for the request and optionally on the user's entire session.
Clear the cache:
php bin/console c:c
The Translation Process
To actually translate the message, Symfony uses a simple process:
The locale of the current user, which is stored on the request is determined;
A catalog (e.g. big collection) of translated messages is loaded from translation resources defined for the locale (e.g. fr_FR). Messages from the fallback locale are also loaded and added to the catalog if they don't already exist. The end result is a large "dictionary" of translations.
If the message is located in the catalog, the translation is returned. If not, the translator returns the original message.
This helped me to get it worked, since clearing the cache also didn't help.
Symfony 4.6.2:
Try this command to update translation files:
php bin/console translation:update --dump-messages --force de
(Source: https://symfony.com/doc/current/translation.html#configuration)
I can already answer your 2 questions:
1: you can look at
https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/master/src/Symfony/Bridge/Twig/Extension/TranslationExtension.php#L97
https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/master/src/Symfony/Bundle/FrameworkBundle/Translation/Translator.php
https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/master/src/Symfony/Component/Translation/Translator.php#L174
2: If you're talking about gedmo doctrine extensions, or Knplabs DoctrineBehaviors, no, there is no way it conflicts with symfonys's translator. These are 2 independant pieces.
Just faced the same issue and fixed it by $this->get('translator')->setLocale('fr'); in the controller action. I fixed it by adding {_locale} in the route path.
I've been diving into ASP.NET MVC internal functionality much (different reasons), but still can not cover all the behaviour. One of those which I did not is subj.
The way it works is the following:
if I bundle some files (css files for instance), the framework detects those changes and generates new id for the new bundle (to make it easy for browsers to refresh the changes) like href="/Content/css?v=qartPE4jGe-l1U0I7kNDZPZzVTdh0kT8VBZZA_uURjI1".
What I am actually trying to understand:
How exactly the framework (that's possibly not MVC but .NET stuff) detects that the files are changed (as there are no directory watchers active (as I can change the file even when web-server if off-line) to see the file changes live, and also the system detects actually the file content changes (I tried just to re-save files without changing their contents and the bundle number did not change as well))?
(I consider that obviously the system can not compare every file content to detect its changings on every request came).
Where (and how) the frameworks stores current bundle id and how it stores previous versions (as previous bundles are still available when go to their urls)?
Thanks a lot!
The ASP.NET Optimization framework caches the bundle response in HttpContext.Cache and uses a CacheDependency to monitor each file in the bundle for changes. This is why updating the files directly invalidates the cache and regenerates the bundle.
The bundle file name is a hash of the bundle contents which ensures the URL changes when any of the bundle files are modified. The bundle's virtual path is used as the cache key.
The relevant code from the library (note this is slightly out of date but I believe the logic is still the same):
internal BundleResponse GetBundleResponse(BundleContext context)
{
// check to see if the bundle response is in the cache
BundleResponse bundleResponse = Bundle.CacheLookup(context);
if (bundleResponse == null || context.EnableInstrumentation)
{
// if not, generate the bundle response and cache it
bundleResponse = this.GenerateBundleResponse(context);
if (context.UseServerCache)
{
this.UpdateCache(context, bundleResponse);
}
}
return bundleResponse;
}
private void UpdateCache(BundleContext context, BundleResponse response)
{
if (context.UseServerCache)
{
// create a list of all the file paths in the bundle
List<string> list = new List<string>();
list.AddRange(
from f in response.Files
select f.FullName);
list.AddRange(context.CacheDependencyDirectories);
string cacheKey = Bundle.GetCacheKey(context.BundleVirtualPath);
// insert the response into the cache with a cache dependency that monitors
// the bundle files for changes
context.HttpContext.Cache.Insert(cacheKey, response, new CacheDependency(list.ToArray()));
context.HttpContext.Response.AddCacheItemDependency(cacheKey);
this._cacheKeys.Add(cacheKey);
}
}
Finally as for old bundle URLs working, I think you will find they are either returned from your browser cache or actually return the latest version of the bundle since the bundle path doesn't change, only the version query string.
how do I install silverstripe on sourceforge for a project. I know I need a synlink...but I don't know how to?
I have a htdocs folder that is read only (once on the server) that I can access via sftp
it is accsesable via url
I have a persistent folder that is rightable (once on the server) that I can access via sftp
it is not accsesable via url
I have a mysql credentials that are accseped during install but can't be finished because of no right accsess
So you're trying to install SilverStripe on sourceforge? Well, okay.
I guess you need to check that the MySQL user you're using has write access to the database. Also, that you got the database name right in the installation process: if you didn't, the installer will try to create that database, and if you don't have the necessary permission (usually the case on shared hosting setups), you'll get an error complaining about the CREATE DATABASE statement.
So do I understand it right that your problem is that you can upload SilverStripe, but you can not install it, because the installer wants to write the config file?
Well, in this case there is actually a way to get SilverStripe running without using the installer. Just enter the database information into your mysite/_config.php file.
It should look something like this:
<?php
global $project;
$project = 'mysite';
global $databaseConfig;
$databaseConfig = array(
"type" => 'MySQLDatabase',
"server" => 'localhost',
"username" => 'myuser',
"password" => 'mypass',
"database" => 'mydatabasename',
"path" => '',
);
MySQLDatabase::set_connection_charset('utf8');
// This line set's the current theme. More themes can be
// downloaded from http://www.silverstripe.org/themes/
SSViewer::set_theme('blackcandy');
// Set the site locale
i18n::set_locale('en_US');
// enable nested URLs for this site (e.g. page/sub-page/)
SiteTree::enable_nested_urls();
Director::set_environment_type('dev');
// Director::set_environment_type('live');
please note that SilverStripe by default requires write permission on the assets/ folder, not only for uploading files, it also requires it for saving CSS files if the environment type is set to live, because SilverStripe wants to fetch all JS and CSS files, combine them into 1 single JS and 1 CSS file and saves them into the assets/ folder.
If this is not possible, the admin will simply not load, you can also work around this by letting SilverStripe generate those files on another server (your local dev server) and then upload the files.
