Playing Nice with Zend

Jon Lebensold · 2009-08-15 06:00:56

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?

That's also a topic I thought about a couple days ago since there doesn't come an out of the box CRUD with zf.

Have you heard of this http://petala-azul.com/grid/ ? I didn't give it a try yet, but it could be nice for simple projects.

This is a great idea, however I think the execution still leaves the developer writing a lot of code. The Controller is full of business-specific code (e.g. columns, SQL, etc...) rather than it pulling the data from either an Entity or config, which is easier to maintain.

I have been using Drupal quite a lot over the past year and it does offer a system for using Zend libraries (http://drupal.org/project/zend).

However the Drupal way of handling requests and serving content is so baked in that the Zend MVC Libraries don't really give you very much.

Thanks for mentioning it Edward
