I have really simple and lame question (i hope it's simple).
I'm quite new to symfony2 and i'm not sure how to use bundles. I'm trying to use IvoryGoogleMapBundle ( https://github.com/egeloen/IvoryGoogleMapBundle ) and i need to say that documentation is really good but i can't understand one thing. I'll write what have i allready done and what i need:
I've uploaded all the bundle files to src/Ivory/GoogleMapBundle directory. Added proper lines to app/autoload.php and to app/Autoload.php(according to documentation).
Now i'm trying to display the most simple map possible and there are a lot of examples in the documentation but i have no idea how to define new Map object in my controller (all the examples presuppose that $map variable allready exists and holds this object). Can you just write the most simple controller for me whitch will have this $map variable definition ? Do i need to create all those Entity files mentioned in doc ?
If something is unclear, please just tell me, i'll do my best to explain it better.
try $map = $this->get('ivory_google_map.map'); in your controller.
Full list of services you can use (under List of available services)
What are services?
Side note: external bundles should be placed in /vendor/bundles/Organization/BundleName (so /vendor/bundles/Ivory/GoogleMapBundle and not /src/Ivory/GoogleMapBundle )
or else il your controller is :
class DefaultController extends ContainerAware
{
...
}
try this:
$map = $this->container->get('ivory_google_map.map');

Here is the context :
Each user of my application belongs to a company.
Parameters for each company are defined inside "company.yml" configuration files, all of them sharing the exact same structure.
These parameters are then used to tweak the application behavior.
It may sound trivial, but all I'm looking for is the proper way to load these specific YAML files.
From what I understood so far, using an Extension class isn't possible, since it has no knowledge about current user.
Using a custom service to manage these configurations rather than relying on Symfony's parameters seems more appropriate, but I can't find how to implement validation (using a Configuration class) and caching.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your inputs!
Using the Yaml, Processor and Configuration components of Symfony2 should fit your needs.
http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/yaml/introduction.html
http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/config/definition.html
Define your "CompanyConfiguration" class as if you were in the DependencyInjection case
Create a new "CompanyLoader" service
use Symfony\Component\Yaml\Yaml;
use Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\Processor;
$companies = Yaml::parse('company.yml');
$processor = new Processor();
$configuration = new CompanyConfiguration();
$processor->processConfiguration($configuration, $companies);
Now you should be able to use your companies array to do what you want
Have a look at http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/configuration/configuration_organization.html as well as http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/configuration/environments.html. If that's not the correct answer you'll have to be more specific on what your company.yml configuration contains.
I am trying to implemt the following instruction, as to have Enum type somehow
Shame on me, but I have not an idea on how/where I go to "register [the defined] type with Type::addType('<enummyfield>', 'MyProject\DBAL\<EnumMyfield>Type')".
EDIT Answer 1 helps. It seems I need too:
to move definition of EnumMyfield to directory MyBundle\Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type (with appropriate use declarations)
to update app\config\config.yml with lines
types:
<myfield>: <mybundle>\Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type\<EnumMyfield>Type
since I wish to have a Select on the Form side, to define:
->add('MyField','choice', array('label'=>'Select please', 'choices'=>array('A'=>'A','B'=>'B')), within my MyentityType\buildForm().
With respect to the last point, if I just use choices'=>array('A','B'), values for the select options are rendered as numbers (0,1), and I run into an error (I am not sure why)
your comments/advises are welcome
Just a recap, useful for others (maybe); I will highlight were you're blocked
Create a directory Doctrine\DBAL\Types
Define your new DBAL type there like shown into your link
Register it into your bundle main file (*) <--- this is what you're missing
Use it into entity definition
(*) You have a file inside your bundle named YourBundleNameBundle.php this file is used to register the bundle. If you want to register your custom type also, put inside this bundle the string Type::addType('enum', 'MyProject\DBAL\EnumType')".
So, something like
public function boot()
{
if (false === Type:hasType('enum')) {
$em = $this->container->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager');
Type::addType('enum', 'Path\To\Bundle\Doctrine\DBAL\Types\EnumType');
$em->getConnection()->getDatabasePlatform()->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('enum','enum');
}
}
Don't forget the use statement
use Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type;
at the top of the file
I'm working on a project and I'd like to ask for a clean/best way to override the steps in the
Sylius\Bundle\CoreBundle\Checkout\CheckoutProcessScenario
I'd like to preserve the custom mechanics of the whole process just add a custom step at the end and remove the finalize step.
$builder
->add('security', 'sylius_checkout_security')
->add('addressing', 'sylius_checkout_addressing')
->add('shipping', 'sylius_checkout_shipping')
->add('finalize', 'sylius_checkout_finalize')
->add('payment', 'sylius_checkout_payment')
->add('purchase', 'sylius_checkout_purchase')
;
What's the best form of doing so? If it's extending the bundle and overwriting it I'd like some help with that of at least some information to point me in the right direction - currently I'm not getting any results on my own.
I've read the docs on the bundle itself but it doesn't explain how to override the built in process.
I've also read the symfony cookbook on extending resources:
http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/cookbook/bundles/inheritance.html#overriding-resources-templates-routing-translations-validation-etc
and:
http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/bundles/override.html
If anyone has some experience on the topic and would like to share thier insights I'd be very gratefull. Thanks in advance.
You could change the service class to a custom one.
You can overwrite the parameter sylius.checkout_scenario.class.
app/config/config.yml:
<parameter key="sylius.checkout_scenario.class">
Your\Class
</parameter>
I've done it a bit different but still the point was good :)
What I've done is use the service compiler to override it with my own class and override the original file. The basics are explained here:
http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/bundles/override.html
in the Services & Configuration section :)
Then I just had to include the compiler pass
// src/Acme/ShopBundle/AcmeShopBundle.php
namespace Acme\ShopBundle;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Bundle\Bundle;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder;
use Acme\ShopBundle\DependencyInjection\Compiler\CustomCompilerPass;
class AcmeMailerBundle extends Bundle
{
public function build(ContainerBuilder $container)
{
parent::build($container);
$container->addCompilerPass(new CustomCompilerPass());
}
}
Inside the compiler pass I just extended the base file and overwrote the function I needed. Droppin it by in case anyone needs to pointed in the right direction.
I'm relatively new to Symfony2, so I'm learning by doing. My controller classes are getting pretty big. I'd like to break it up with functions() or objects->method(). Unfortunately I can't figure out where to put the code. (actually its really simple functions... but I can wrap that in an object...)
--I can't add it to the bottom of my DefaultController.php file. It errors out, and not pretty code to boot, either inside or outside of the { }.
--I can't simply add a new NewObject.php file to the controller directory. That errors out. The error: FatalErrorException: ...NewObject not found.
--I've toyed with manual mods to ../app/autoload.php but that doesn't really make sense for a simple class add to my ./SRC/ bundle. Perhaps I should build a ./src/autoload.php file (similiar to ./vender/autoload.php) but the contents of that file don't make sense to me at all. I simply can't figure out how the AnnotationRegistry Loader works.
Am I missing something? This seems way too hard.. what I want is a wrapped up 'include' so I can use the class in dev and after deployment.
How do I include NewObject.php (and the accompanying $newObject->function() ) in my code?
I'm told I can add a service, yet that seems like outrageous overhead for such a seemingly simple task (again, all I'm trying to do is clean up my very long controller php code...)
thanks in advance for your advice.
So you've got a project structure that looks something like this, right?
project
-- app
-- bin
-- src
-- SomeName
-- SomeBundle
-- Controller
-- Entity
-- Resources
-- ...
-- vendor
-- web
And you're just looking to have some kind of "helper" class that's used throughout your bundle. Is that correct?
If so, then you can really put it wherever you want to inside your src/ directory... Just make sure that the class name matches the file name, and that the path to the file matches the namespace you define at the top of your PHP code.
Sometimes when I do this, I'll create a simple directory under my bundle called "Helper/". Other times, when the application is more complex, I might be a little bit more explicit. But here's what the first case would look like...
First, add your /Helper directory under your bundle, and create the class file:
project
-- app
-- bin
-- src
-- SomeName
-- SomeBundle
-- Controller
-- Entity
-- Helper
-- SomeHelper.php
-- Resources
-- ...
-- vendor
-- web
The contents of SomeHelper.php might look like this:
<?php
namespace SomeName\SomeBundle\Helper;
class SomeHelper
{
public function doSomething()
{
...
}
}
Because your namespace matches the file path, it gets autoloaded, so you don't need to worry about include statements. You can instantiate that class anywhere in your bundle, as long as you include a use statement:
<?php
namespace SomeName\SomeBundle\Controller;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use SomeName\SomeBundle\Helper\SomeHelper;
class DefaultController extends Controller
{
public function indexAction()
{
...
$helper = new SomeHelper();
$helper->doSomething();
...
}
}
Regarding the usage of services... Yes, that might be overkill, depending on what you're using it for. It's helpful to create services when the class needs to be aware of the application around it. For example, if you're creating a service that emails a User, it might want to access your database through the Doctrine service, or it might want to log the email activity through the Monolog service.
However, if your class doesn't need to know about the application (referred to as the "service container"), for example if it's just used to transfer data, then a helper class is probably more appropriate.
Can i create helper function like codeigniter in symfony2?
I want one function which should print array inside pre tag like
public function print_in_pre_tag($array) {
echo "<pre>";
print_r($array);
echo "</pre>";
}
I often print array like in that format to check the values.
Please suggest some solution and let me know where can i keep the function?
Edit 1: If i call like print_in_pre_tag($array); inside any controller
above function should invoke.
You should create a service (helper in codeIgniter) for that.
Create a folder called Services in your bundle. Create a file in that folder called "PrintManager.php" (or however you want to call it - but make sure the first is capital)
Then inside PrintManager.php you put:
namespace Company\MyBundle\Services;
class PrintManager {
public function print_in_pre_tag($array) {
echo "<pre>";
print_r($array);
echo "</pre>";
} }
Then in your services.yml you set the file:
parameters:
print_manager.class: Company\MyBundle\Services\PrintManager (notice, no .php extension)
services:
print_manager:
class: "%print_manager.class%"
And then in your controller you can just call it like this:
$printManager = $this->get('print_manager');
$printManager->print_in_pre_tag($array);
Btw the best thing you can do is let your service handle the functional part and let it return the result to your controller and from there you work with the results.
like: $text = $printManager->print_in_pre_tag($array);
Actually, I do not understand why people recommend Services.
Services have to contains business logic.
For you task use Helpers. They are static, and you do not need instance!
You should use the LadybugBundle which exactly does what you want. It's much more easier to use as you can debug with calls like:
ld($array);
ldd($array);
Moreover, those helpers are available anywhere in your PHP code without requesting or defining a service. Finally it also works to debug in the console, Ajax calls, Twig templates...
Actually, the question is too old to answer, and actually my answer is not about a Helper, it is about the function that you need. You need a pretty var_dump().
From Symfony 2.6, we have the VarDumper Component. You can use it wherever you need, whenever you need, in your php code, of course.
You have to use the function dump(). You can see the dump in the Developer Bar, and also in a redirection page. The output of the dump, it is better formated, because you have arrows to expand all the inners arrays.
Just to let you know guys
