Playing Nice with Zend

dummy@example.com (Jon Lebensold) — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 08:23:09 +0000

I find myself doing a lot of development that involves content management. I loathe writing CMS code and find myself trying to avoid it like the plague. I'm curious to know how you handle basic CRUD applications. Do you integrate Zend with Drupal / WordPress / CodeIgniter?

I'm a big fan of using Doctrine with Zend. Have anyone found any higher-level frameworks that play really nice with the Zend Framework?

Wordpress?

Hey I'll throw that out here and see what others think about it.

I HATE WORDPRESS.

1- The hacks...
2- The fact the client can destroy everything if he wants from his cms.
3- Vanilla wordpress is'nt bad but when salesman sell things not included in wordpress and you have to hack at it to get anything to work well.. Try to update that after. I guess I'm not a wp guru enough but hey I am studying for my Zend certificate and have zero time to learn the intricacies of wp.

In a enterprise context is there any advantage to pushing wp solutions instead of in-house cms's?

Bootstrapping Doctrine in Zend 1.8 or 1.9

I've been using Doctrine a lot as an alternative to Zend_Db with great success. here's my bootstrap method (sits in the Bootstrap.php file) in case anyone is interested:

PHP Code:

 
    protected function _initDoctrine()
    {
        $this->bootstrap("autoload");
 
        $dbConfig = $this->options['db'];
        defined('CONFIG_PATH')             || define('CONFIG_PATH', APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs');    
        defined('DATA_FIXTURES_PATH')     || define('DATA_FIXTURES_PATH',     CONFIG_PATH . '/data/fixtures');
        defined('SQL_PATH')             || define('SQL_PATH',                 CONFIG_PATH . '/data/sql');
        defined('MIGRATIONS_PATH')         || define('MIGRATIONS_PATH',         CONFIG_PATH . '/migrations');
        defined('YAML_SCHEMA_PATH')     || define('YAML_SCHEMA_PATH',         CONFIG_PATH . '/schema.yml');
        defined('MODELS_PATH')             || define('MODELS_PATH',             APPLICATION_PATH . '/models');
        defined('DB_PATH')                 || define('DB_PATH' ,                 'mysql://' . $dbConfig['username']. ':' . $dbConfig['password']. '@' . $dbConfig['host']. '/' . $dbConfig['name']);
 
        require_once 'Doctrine.php';
        
        spl_autoload_register(array('Doctrine', 'autoload'));
 
        $connection = Doctrine_Manager::connection(DB_PATH);
        $connection->setCharset('UTF8');
        
        Doctrine_Manager::getInstance()->setAttribute('model_loading', 'conservative');
        Doctrine::loadModels(MODELS_PATH);
    }

this code assumes that the database configurin is sitting in your application.ini file. Also, Doctrine is sitting in /library/Doctrine. Thanks to Maxime Bouroumeau, I've also got a modified version of the Doctrine.php command line script:

PHP Code:

 

error_reporting(E_ALL);
 
define('ROOT_PATH', dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))));
define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/..'));
define('APPLICATION_ENV', 'development');
define('TMP_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../tmp/'));
 
 
//Ensure library/ is on include_path
set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
    realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../library'),
    get_include_path(),
)));
 
/** Zend_Application */
require_once 'Zend/Application.php';  
 
// Create application, bootstrap, and run
$application = new Zend_Application(
    APPLICATION_ENV, 
    APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini'
);
 
$application->getBootstrap()->bootstrap("doctrine");
 
// Configure Doctrine Cli
// Normally these are arguments to the cli tasks but if they are set here the arguments will be auto-filled
$config = array('data_fixtures_path'  =>  DATA_FIXTURES_PATH,
                'models_path'         =>  MODELS_PATH,
                'migrations_path'     =>  MIGRATIONS_PATH,
                'sql_path'            =>  SQL_PATH,
                'yaml_schema_path'    =>  YAML_SCHEMA_PATH);
 
 
$cli = new Doctrine_Cli($config);
$cli->run($_SERVER['argv']);

Hope this helps other integrators!

The name other frameworks thinks about other php framework

I was thinking why you need a post about other php frameworks . But after entering into it only I was aware you are talking about the doctrine and all other tools .
