I have some tables that most of the time have the same data in it, so i find it useless to query the db each time for the same data.

I also tried caching at Zend_Db_Table level as I though that the row object would get the table object (cached) and send the query through it. But this fails each time.

Does anyone have a tip? Thanks!

at 17:55 you create a method

public function setUp() {

...

}

Wouldn't it be better to use

public function init() {

...

}

which is called automatically when instantiating the class?

Thanks, Udo

P.S.: Another cool episode! Thank you!

I am 3-4 days old to zend framework I am looking various article and various tutorial and try to learn the zend framework.

Just wanted to get more info on zend frame want to ask few question on using the doctrine.

My Questions are,

1) I have seen online tutorial, and most of the place i found examples where user has used ZEND_DB_TABLE api with insert, update delete, or custom query. Since zend_db_table api is zend inbuild component it will work fast rather than if we use third part layer like doctrine or propel. Please let me know if i am wrong here.

2) If we want to use the doctrine then we need to do additional configuration and learn doctrine

3) Here i am not sure how cache with work with doctrine
  i.e.  1) Not sure if doctrine do the query catch or sql output cache in file or memory. If yes then how zend cache will manage it i.e. delete , update or add.
       2) If doctrine doing the cache then should we use doctrine method for caching?
      3) If we use zend_db_table api's with zend cache, isn't its fast and better?

Please let me know on above points.

Can you please help? I would like to write a query. But the doctrine will generate incorrect code, and I do not understand why.

#schema.yml:

Car:
  connection: doctrine
  tableName: car
  columns:
    id:
      type: integer(8)
      fixed: false
      unsigned: false
      primary: true
      autoincrement: true
    brand:
      type: string()
      fixed: false
      unsigned: false
      primary: false
      notnull: false
      autoincrement: false
  relations:
    Users:
      local: id
      foreign: car_id
      type: many
      class: User
User:
  connection: doctrine
  tableName: user
  columns:
    id:
      type: integer(8)
      fixed: false
      unsigned: false
      primary: true
      autoincrement: true
    name:
      type: string()
      fixed: false
      unsigned: false
      primary: false
      notnull: false
      autoincrement: false
    email:
      type: string()
      fixed: false
      unsigned: false
      primary: false
      notnull: false
      autoincrement: false
    phone:
      type: string(9)
      fixed: false
      unsigned: false
      primary: false
      notnull: false
      autoincrement: false
    car_id:
      type: integer(8)
      fixed: false
      unsigned: false
      primary: false
      notnull: false
      autoincrement: false
  relations:
    Car:
      local: car_id
      foreign: id
      type: one

#index.phtml

$q = Doctrine_Query::create()
    ->select('id,brand')
    ->from('Model_User u')
    ->leftJoin('Model_Car c');

echo $q->getSqlQuery(); 

#firefox output

SELECT u.id AS u__id, u.brand AS u__brand FROM user u, car c

#From Doctrine documentation:

// test.php

// ...

$q = Doctrine_Query::create()
    ->select('u.username, p.*')
    ->from('User u')
    ->leftJoin('u.Phonenumbers p')

echo $q->getSqlQuery();

the above call to getSql() would output the following SQL query:

SELECT
u.id AS u__id,
u.username AS u__username,
p.id AS p__id,
p.user_id AS p__user_id,
p.phonenumber AS p__phonenumber
FROM user u
LEFT JOIN phonenumber p ON u.id = p.user_id

What could be the reason that I can not generate this type of code?

Enjoy!

I'm trying to setup a jquery view helper. Code is as follows:

Bootstrap.php

protected function _initLayoutt(){
        $config = &$this->registry->config->resources->view;

        $view = new Zend_View();

        $view->strictVars($config->strictVars);
        $view->headMeta()->appendHttpEquiv('Content-Type', 'text/html;charset='.$view->getEncoding());
        $view->headTitle($config->headtitle);
        $view->headTitle()->setSeparator($config->headseperator);

        //JQuery support
        $view->addHelperPath("ZendX/JQuery/View/Helper", "ZendX_JQuery_View_Helper");

        $viewRenderer = new Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer();
        $viewRenderer->setView($view);
        Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addHelper($viewRenderer);
        
        $view->JQuery() ->addStylesheet('/css/custom-theme/jquery-ui.custom.css')
                        ->setLocalPath('/js/jquery.min.js')
                        ->setUiLocalPath('/js/jquery-ui.custom.min.js')
                        ->enable()
                        ->uiEnable();

        return $view;
    }

I cannot access jquery() method from the view scripts, controllers or layout scripts. I get error msg:

ZendX namespace is in include path.

Can someone please point me in  the right dorection ... Thanks!

I have check boxes around 46. I want to arrange these check boxes 5 in a row i.e. first five checkbox should come and then next five should come below the first row and so on. Currently by default it shows each check boxes one below the other. Please let me know what option value i should pass while creating the multiple check boxes element.

I have studied the zend_form tutorial. In tutorial its mentioned that in the view, we can call to $this->form and the form will get display. All Element we can add in the application/form/formfile. If we need to form element properly we need to use form decorator so that all the element gets display in view in proper place.

Other method its mentioned that we can call individual form element in the view it self. Since I am new to zend I preferred to use the second one i.e. calling individual element in the view. When i said $this->form->getLabel('firstname') , displayed the label but when i say $this->form->getElement('firstname') its displaying label and text box both. I require only Text box because i am calling label properly

How do i fetch only firstname text input?

Here is my code in forms/signin.php

        $firstname = $this->createElement('text','firstname');
        $firstname->setLabel('Enter FirstName')
                ->setAttrib('size',50);

$this->addElements(array(
        $firstname,
       );

Here is my code in controller

$form = new Application_Form_Signin();
$this->view->form = $form;

One of the big things that the Zend Framework has over other frameworks is the built-in locale and language tools provided by Zend_Translate and Zend_Locale. All this comes with plugins into Zend's templating system via Zend View Helpers. This video covers setting up some language-friendly routes, writing a custom language switcher Zend Controller Plugin and then running some a CSV-formatted language file.
