These tools are intimidating at first (I feel the same way sometimes), but they really do make your life a lot easier in the long run. When you’re using Doctrine, you have a single place to go if you want to change your database schema. If you’re unit testing your code (which you should), without Doctrine, you would have at least 3 different places to reflect that change (test db, dev db, models). That’s a lot of pointless running around every time you want to add a column!

That’s good . I was learning doctrine . So the solution was at that time what I thought .
Thanks for notifying me . Will look more into it . Brought the Doctrine Book now .

and remembered the module issue here.
The above mentioned article describes how to specify the doctrine model targets in file system via schema yaml file and the package option.

Thank’s a lot:)

You guys can check it out at http://harikt.com/content/integrating-doctrine-zendframework-modules .

Let me know your comments

here it comes . After the config is loaded in doctrine.ph

$config = $application->getOption(‘doctrine’);

add the below code


$length = strlen( APPLICATION_PATH );
if(is_array($_SERVER['argv']) ) {
$modulePosition = array_keys( $_SERVER['argv'] , 'module');
if ( !empty( $modulePosition ) ) {
$moduleName = $_SERVER['argv'][$modulePosition[0]+1];
if ( is_dir( APPLICATION_PATH . "/modules/$moduleName" ) ) {
foreach( $config as $key => $value ) {
$config[$key] = APPLICATION_PATH . "/modules/$moduleName" . substr_replace($value, '', 0, $length);
}
}
}
}


I assume people will be calling like ./doctrine test module blog

Not sure whether doctrine has something like module calling . Hope not , else we can change . I am just playing so may be wrong too . I am interested to hear what you think about this .

Thanks

Really great tutorials!

I downloaded the source code and I got a mysql error when trying to reload the tables. The mysql string was output to the cmd prompt, so I copied it into mysql query browser.

I started with, create table user, as was shown in the command prompt, but i noticed that user was a reserved mysql word, I tried putting user in backticks in the yml, but that actually created a file called `user`.php… Alas, I just changed schema.yml to create userS, and everything worked great. You the man, Jon!

Keep up the good work!

You are spot on. I should be able to pull logic inside the _getAuthAdapter function out of the controller, and put in a login service class, or something like that. What do you think?

I think you put together a great post with a solid implementation. My only comment is that with this design, you’ve now coupled the object creation code to your Controller. On Monday I’ll be posting the IndexController code that will actually use the Zend_Auth_Adaoter written in this tutorial. I’d prefer this approach simply because after you’ve performed the authenticate() method, you don’t have to do any storage->write() business, but simply let Zend_Auth do its thing.

However there’s something I want to share with the rest of the community too. My made an implementation with the use of ZendX_Doctrine_Auth_Adapter from the ZendX incubator.

Because of the length of the explanation, instead of posting my alternative solution here, I’ve just written a blog post at http://blog.elinkmedia.net.au/2010/01/24/zf-authentication-using-doctrine/

It’ll be great if I can get your opinions on my implementation.
