SilverStripe framework only - how to handle 404 - silverstripe

I'm using just the framework without the CMS module for the first time. When I visit the app via a URL that is not handled by a controller/action, I just get a page with the text "No URL rule was matched". This results from Director::handleRequest() not matching any controllers to the url segments... Or "Action 'ABC' isn't available on class XYZController."
I'd like to direct any unmached requests to a controller equivalent of a nice 404 page. What is the correct or best way to do this?

The error templates are only included in the CMS. The framework just returns the HTTP response code with a message in plain text.
I've just started on my own framework-only project too and this is my solution:
[routes.yml]
---
Name: rootroutes
---
Director:
rules:
'': 'MyController'
'$URLSegment': 'MyController'
[MyController]
class MyController extends Controller {
private static $url_handlers = array(
'$URLSegment' => 'handleAction',
);
public function index() {
return $this->httpError(404, "Not Found");
}
/**
* Creates custom error pages. This will look for a template with the
* name ErrorPage_$code (ie ErrorPage_404) or fall back to "ErrorPage".
*
* #param $code int
* #param $message string
*
* #return SS_HTTPResponse
**/
public function httpError($code, $message = null) {
// Check for theme with related error code template.
if(SSViewer::hasTemplate("ErrorPage_" . $code)) {
$this->template = "ErrorPage_" . $code;
} else if(SSViewer::hasTemplate("ErrorPage")) {
$this->template = "ErrorPage";
}
if($this->template) {
$this->response->setBody($this->render(array(
"Code" => $code,
"Message" => $message,
)));
$message =& $this->response;
}
return parent::httpError($code, $message);
}
}
[ErrorPage.ss]
<h1>$Code</h1>
<p>$Message</p>
You can also create more specific error templates using ErrorPage_404.ss, ErrorPage_500.ss etc.

Without updating the routes as previously mentioned, there's a module that I've been recently working on which will allow regular expression redirection mappings, hooking into a page not found (404). This has been designed to function with or without CMS present :)
https://github.com/nglasl/silverstripe-misdirection
It basically makes use of a request filter to process the current request/response, appropriately directing you towards any mappings that may have been defined.

Symfony2 Route prefix querystring dynamic

My symfony2 project is setup with normal YAML routes to any normal project.
Routes are setup with annotation and final URLs are
http://examplecom/artices/{id}
http://example.com/comments/{id}
I want to add prefix querystring to all the path, only if there is querystring called preview
So If I access http://example.com/?preview=something - I want this querystring to append to all the routes, so it continue to pass on every page and if this does not exist, then it will continue to be used as normally.
How can I accomplish this?
service.yml
parameters:
router.options.generator_base_class: "Acme\\DemoBundle\\Routing\\Generator\\UrlGenerator"
UrlGenerator.php
<?php
namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Routing\Generator;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Generator\UrlGenerator as BaseUrlGenerator;
class UrlGenerator extends BaseUrlGenerator
{
protected function doGenerate($variables, $defaults, $requirements, $tokens, $parameters, $name, $referenceType, $hostTokens)
{
return parent::doGenerate($variables, $defaults, $requirements, $tokens, $parameters, $name, $referenceType, $hostTokens).'?preview=something';
}
}

Symfony Routing "_locale" parameter not accepted

I have a problem with the symfony routing.
For an multilanguage projekt I render a Twig template via a job queue for mailing. In this template is a link to a route that requires the "_locale" parameter with "de" or "en" for example. I use the function "{{ url('route', {'_locale': 'de'}) }}" to generate the url.
By rendering the template, I got the following error message:
[Twig_Error_Runtime]
An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("Some mandatory parameters are missing ("_locale") to generate a URL for route "Route".") in "TemplatePath" at line 5.
Whats my mistake?
Thanks for help
When you are generating URL route, via CLI, the Symfony kernel is missing a HTTP Request, and a Routing->RequestContext.
Thats why, the URL generator cannot find _locale parameter.
To fix it, you must manually create a RequestContext, so, in your command:
$this->getContainer()->get('router')
->setContext(
(new RequestContext())
->setParameter('_locale', 'fr')
);
class BaseCommand extends ContainerAwareCommand
{
protected function getLocale()
{
return $this->getContainer()->get('translator')->getLocale();
}
protected function render($view, $data)
{
return $this->getContainer()->get('templating')->render($view, $data);
}
}
in command
class SomeCommand extends BaseCommand
{
...
$this->render($view, array_merge($data, ['_locale' => $this->getLocale()])
}
in view
{{url('any', {param: 'foo'}|merge(_locale is defined ? {'_locale': _locale } : {}))}}
It's necro time :)
I'm just guessing here, but there's a couple things you can try.
Can you set the locale in your command?
Set the locale for the translator bundle:
$this->getContainer()->get('translator')->setLocale('de');
Set the locale for this session:
$this->getContainer()->get('session')->setLocale('de);
Internationalized routing for Symfony 4.1 and higher
If this applies to you, try this:
url('route.de', {'_locale': 'de'}) }}"
Does your route have 'de' and 'en' set as a requirement?
/**
* Matches /route
* #Route(
* "/route/{_locale}",
* requirements={
* '_locale': 'en|de'
* },
* name="route"
* )
*/
It's an old question but this might help someone out.

How can I make routing case insensitive in Symfony2?

Is there any configuration in Symfony2 that allow use of case Insensitive routing?
For example, routes below should be treated as they are the same:
www.exmaple.com/all
www.exmaple.com/ALL
There is a pull request about this, but no reference how to make it happen.
As of Symfony2.4, you can now define condition to your route and use the expression language to do complexe check. See Router: Completely Customized Route Matching with Conditions documentation.
Another solution would be to override the route compiler class to change/extend the php compilation of your route matcher:
contact:
path: /{media}
defaults: { _controller: AcmeDemoBundle:Main:contact, media: organic }
requirements:
media: email|organic|ad
options:
compiler_class: MyVendor\Component\Routing\CaseInsensitiveRouteCompiler
See Symfony\Component\Routing\RouteCompiler class.
Or, as fabpot said in the pull request comment, your could override Request::getPathInfo[1] method to always return a lowercase string (use the setFactory[2] to override default request class).
*1 github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/master/src/Symfony/Component/HttpFoundation/Request.php#L866
*2 github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/master/src/Symfony/Component/HttpFoundation/Request.php#L402
I found a nifty way to do this in pure symfony (no apache mod_rewrite) without having to create a case-insensitive forwarding rule for every route.
This utilizes the twig ExceptionController. Because this occures after the routing has failed to match (or a 404 exception has been thrown for some other reason) it won't break any existing routing urls that use capitals (though that would still be a bad idea).
namespace Application\Symfony\TwigBundle\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\FlattenException;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Log\DebugLoggerInterface;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse;
use Symfony\Bundle\TwigBundle\Controller\ExceptionController as BaseExceptionController;
/**
* ExceptionController.
*/
class ExceptionController extends BaseExceptionController
{
/**
* Redirects 404s on urls with uppercase letters to the lowercase verion,
* then uses it's parent class to
* Convert an Exception to a Response.
*
* #param Request $request The request
* #param FlattenException $exception A FlattenException instance
* #param DebugLoggerInterface $logger A DebugLoggerInterface instance
*
* #return Response
*
* #throws \InvalidArgumentException When the exception template does not exist
*/
public function showAction(Request $request, FlattenException $exception, DebugLoggerInterface $logger = null)
{
if ( (string) $exception->getStatusCode() === '404' && preg_match('/[A-Z]/', $request->getPathInfo())) {
$lowercaseUrl = strtolower($request->getPathInfo());
if ($request->isMethod('POST')) {
return new RedirectResponse(
$lowercaseUrl,
'307'//307 status code preserves post information.
);
}
$queryString = $request->getQueryString();
return new RedirectResponse(
$lowercaseUrl.( strlen($queryString)>0 ? '?'.$queryString : '' ),
'301'//301 status code plays nice with search engines
);
}
return parent::showAction($request, $exception, $logger);
}
}
The only other trick is that you need to configure this controller as a service you can inject the correct arguments into the parent class's constructor:
in services.yml
services:
application.custom.exception_controller:
class: Application\Symfony\TwigBundle\Controller\ExceptionController
arguments: [ "#twig", "%kernel.debug%" ]
in config.yml:
twig:
exception_controller: application.custom.exception_controller:showAction
Of course, you can stick this controller and service definition anywhere
As far as I know, this isn't possible with Symfony 2. However, you should be able to accomplish it with Apache's mod_rewrite. See this blog post for details.
Make sure to read the comments, as there are some errors with the initial post.

Access Service from Controller and/or Twig template

Disclaimer: I'm slowly starting to get into Symfony and still have some problems understanding how the architecture works.
Currently I set up different Bundles (Services, right?) that should deliver different output for different routes. So far I got around adding a simple Twig template that loads stylesheets and scripts via Assetics and Twig-blocks. Now I added another Bundle that queries data via Buzz from a remote location, which worked fine as a standalone script, but I don't get around printing output in a Twig template.
The architecture of the original script is like the following (names made more generic):
Vendors - abstract class that serves as base for all remote request Bundles.
ServiceABC - abstract class that extends Vendors and defines Error handling and output preparation for the ABC service.
ClientXYZ - final class that extends Service_ABC, defines output parsing and normalization of the returned data.
This Bundle got a services.yml file:
# ~/MyApp/Bundle/ServiceABCBundle/Resources/config/services.yml
parameters:
service_abc_manager.class: MyApp\Bundle\ServiceABCBundle\Models\Service_ABC
location_manager.class: MyApp\Bundle\ServiceABCBundle\Models\Clients\ClientLocation
monitor_manager.class: MyApp\Bundle\ServiceABCBundle\Models\Clients\ClientMonitor
services:
service_abc_manager:
abstract: true
location_manager:
class: %location_manager.class%
parent: service_abc_manager
monitor_manager:
class: %monitor_manager.class%
parent: service_abc_manager
Names changed for easier reference - Typos by accident possible.
Now my problem/question is, that I don't really get behind the Symfony2 concept of how to get the output into the template.
namespace MyApp\Bundle\ServiceABCBundle\Controller;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use MyApp\Bundle\ServiceABCBundle\Models\Clients\ClientLocation;
class DefaultController extends Controller
{
public function indexAction()
{
$services = array();
$services[] = $this->container->has('service_abc_manager');
$services[] = $this->container->has('location_manager');
$services[] = $this->container->has('client_location');
$services[] = $this->container->has('ClientLocation');
var_dump( $services );
$client = new ClientLocation();
var_dump( $client );
$response = $this->render(
'Service_ABC:Default:index.html.twig'
);
# $response->setCharset( 'utf-8' );
# $response->headers->set( 'Content-Type', 'text/html' );
return $response;
}
}
The output of the first array() named $services is always false and the $client = new ClientLocation(); throws an Exception that the class name wasn't found.
How can I access those Services/Bundle(parts)/Classes? And how would I render the output to a template?
Update
After I added the complete tree definition to Configuration()->getConfigTreeBuilder(), I'm able to see the definitions in the CLI:
class Configuration implements ConfigurationInterface
{
public function getConfigTreeBuilder()
{
$treeBuilder = new TreeBuilder();
$rootNode = $treeBuilder->root( 'myapp_service_abc' );
$rootNode
->children()
->scalarNode('service_abc_manager')->end()
->scalarNode('location_manager')->end()
->scalarNode('monitor_manager')->end()
->end()
;
return $treeBuilder;
}
}
The CLI command php app/console config:dump-reference myapp_service_abc now gives me the following output:
myapp_service_abc:
service_abc_manager: ~
location_manager: ~
monitor_manager: ~
I can as well see that the config data was loaded, when I var_dump( $loader ); inside MyAppServiceABCExtension right after $loader->load( 'services.yml' ); was called.
The output is the following:
object(Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Loader\YamlFileLoader)
protected 'container' =>
object(Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder)
private 'definitions' =>
array
'service_abc_manager' =>
object(Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Definition)
'location_manager' =>
object(Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\DefinitionDecorator)
private 'parent' => string 'service_abc_manager'
// etc.
The problem itself remains: There's still a FALSE return value inside DefaultController()->indexAction() when I var_dump( $this->container->has( 'service_abc_manager' );. I as well tried var_dump( $this->container->has( 'location_manager' ); and var_dump( $this->container->has( 'myapp.service_abc_manager' ); with the same result.
You should not call your services from the twig file, but from the controller.
The role of the controller is to :
validate your forms if there were a form posted
call your services to get some stuffs to display in a view
initialize forms if there is a form to display
return a Response that typically contains a rendered twig view
Do not call your services using something like $client = new ClientLocation();, but call it using the service container. This will allow you to take the whole power of the dependancy injection offered by Symfony2.
Your controller will look like :
<?php
namespace MyApp\Bundle\ServiceABCBundle\Controller;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
class DefaultController extends Controller
{
public function indexAction()
{
$locationService = $this->container->get('location_manager');
$someStuffs = $locationService->someMethod();
$response = $this->render(
'ServiceABCBundle:Default:index.html.twig', array('stuffs' => $someStuffs)
);
return $response;
}
}
From your twig file, you'll be able to use the stuffs variable :
{{ stuffs }} if your variable is a terminal ( a string, a number... )
{{ stuffs.attribute }} if your variable is an object or an array
About your services file, I am a bit confused, because your architecture does not look to be the standard Symfony2's one :
# ~/MyApp/Bundle/ServiceABCBundle/Resources/config/services.yml
Why your services.yml file isn't in the src/MyApp/SomethingBundle/Resources/config/ directory?
If you didn't already read it, I suggest you to have a look to the Symfony2 : The Big Picture documentation, which is the best way to start with Symfony2.

Serve a download of an uploaded file in Symfony2

My Symfony2 app allows users to upload files. I'd like to users to also be able to download their files.
If I were doing straight PHP, I'd just output the appropriate headers, then output the contents of the file. How would I do this within a Symfony2 controller?
(If you use a hard-coded filename in your answer, that's good enough for me.)
I ended up doing this:
/**
* Serves an uploaded file.
*
* #Route("/{id}/file", name="event_file")
* #Template()
*/
public function fileAction($id)
{
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();
$entity = $em->getRepository('VNNPressboxBundle:Event')->find($id);
if (!$entity) {
throw $this->createNotFoundException('Unable to find Event entity.');
}
$headers = array(
'Content-Type' => $entity->getDocument()->getMimeType(),
'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename="'.$entity->getDocument()->getName().'"'
);
$filename = $entity->getDocument()->getUploadRootDir().'/'.$entity->getDocument()->getName();
return new Response(file_get_contents($filename), 200, $headers);
}
Any reason why you do not want to bypass Symfony entirely and just serve the file via your HTTP server (Apache, Nginx, etc)?
Just have the uploaded files dropped somewhere in the document root and let your HTTP server do what it does best.
Update: While the Symfony2 code posted by #Jason Swett will work for 99% of cases - I just wanted to make sure to document the alternative(s). Another way of securing downloads would be to use the mod_secdownload module of Lighttpd. This would be the ideal solution for larger files or files that need to be served quickly with little-as-possible memory usage.
Have a look at the VichUploaderBundle
It will allow you to do this:
/**
* #param integer $assetId
*
* #return Response
*/
public function downloadAssetAction($assetId)
{
if (!$courseAsset = $this->get('crmpicco.repository.course_asset')->findOneById($assetId)) {
throw new NotFoundHttpException('Requested asset (' . $assetId . ') does not exist.');
}
$downloadHandler = $this->get('vich_uploader.download_handler');
return $downloadHandler->downloadObject($courseAsset->getFile(), 'assetFile', null, $courseAsset->getName());
}
