Towards symfony 1.1
By Romain Dorgueil on Monday, June 16 2008, 23:55 - discussion
After more than one year since symfony 1.0 was released, symfony 1.1 goes more and more mature each day. Recent RC releases are a proof of it, but many people are still concerned about whether or not they should migrate.
sfForms11Plugin: use symfony 1.1 form/validation framework in symfony 1.0 or non-symfony project
By Romain Dorgueil on Monday, January 7 2008, 23:32 - plugin
The new symfony 1.1 form/validation framework is 100% symfony-independant, and though is not limited to the (very) awaited 1.1 stable release. To use it in your own symfony 1.0 projects, you can use sfForms11Plugin. It's content is very thin: it only sets up externals to symfony 1.1 form/widget/validator libraries.
To use it, simply add the following external to your project:
sfForms11Plugin http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfForms11Plugin
Or check it out from your project base directory:
svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfForms11Plugin plugins/sfForms11Plugin
Let's try it...
Now you'll be able to define sfForm sub-classes to materialize forms:
class HelloWorldForm extends sfForm
{
public function configure()
{
}
public function setup()
{
$this->setWidgetSchema(new sfWidgetFormSchema(array(
'name' => new sfWidgetFormInput(),
)));
$this->setValidatorSchema(new sfValidatorSchema(array(
'name' => new sfValidatorString(array('required'=>true, 'min_length'=>1, 'max_length'=>50)),
)));
$this->widgetSchema->setNameFormat('hello[%s]');
$this->errorSchema = new sfValidatorErrorSchema($this->validatorSchema);
parent::setup();
}
}This class define the model of your HelloWorldForm, and you can now use it in your actions:
class testActions extends sfActions
{
function executeHelloWorld()
{
$this->form = new HelloWorldForm();
if ($this->getRequest()->getMethod() == sfRequest::POST)
{
if (null !== ($hello = $this->getRequestParameter('hello', null)))
{
$this->form->bind($hello);
if ($this->form->isValid())
{
$this->redirect('@hello?name='.$this->form->getValue('name'));
}
}
}
}
}At this point, the only little detail still missing is the view, containing actual form display:
<form method="POST">
<table>
<?php echo $form; ?>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="right">
<input type="submit" value="Greetings, Mr Computer!" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>That's it! You now have a simple form, self-validating, protected against CSRF attacks and redirecting to some place if values entered matched our sfValidatorSchema.
Testing Symfony 1.1
By Romain Dorgueil on Sunday, October 28 2007, 12:03 - discussion
Wondering what symfony 1.1 will look like? Well, I couldn't hold my curiosity neither, so I upgraded one of my websites to symfony 1.1, and I describe here how to setup a box to run both versions. The upgrade process being definitive for a given project, make backups or svn commit before upgrading.
