Twig Extensions is a tiny official repository for extensions to the Twig templating markup language, the default templating engine in each Symfony 2 (Standard Ed.) project. This short article shows how to purposeful enable them per-environment for your projects.

A small update/correction out of sequence:
In the meantime a non backwards compatible code modification has been introduced that outdated this article. From now on (Symfony 2.0.4) the locale and default locale settings are maintained within the request object (and not as used to be in the session).
So, here is a little update – under reserve – because the locale setting´s logic will probably change again in the future.

Alright, there is a bundle for H5BP for symfony2 and there is Assetic, you can probably use both with Silex and thats just fine.
But in case you want to keep your Silex project lean (since its micro) you can use Twig and H5BP only and build / deploy your app from the outside.
With a little tuning of the H5BP build, of course / unfortunatly. (Ok thats the caveat)
So i have a structure like so:
web/
(this is the webroot, here is js/css/images, all that asset stuff and the index, here we use the recommended H5BP stuff’n’structure)
views/
(this is outside of webroot and here are all of the *.twig)

Over the weekend i looked for a plugin for node.js in netbeans and ended up tryin this one:
http://timboudreau.com/blog/read/NetBeans_Tools_for_Node_js
Actually its all said on the post itself: installation, features and restrictions.
So go and read it.
Its still a bit early stage and only runs on a nightly-build netbeans but it already has some helpful features.

With some advanced scheduled-post-voodoo i successfully managed to publish this post already yesterday with some completely unrelated queries and no text. this was not intended – please accept my apologies :P
Anyway: In the footer of my magento shop we might have a summary of the shopping cart,
which i simply put in the footer.phtml template file:

… for whatever reason you might need that ;)
For both ways you will need the dumps, you get them here:
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/dewiki/latest/
The main dump is the pages-articles.xml.bz2 if you want the categories as well, you need the
category.sql.gz and categorylinks.sql.gz too.
The pages file is quite huge and will take you probably about 4 hours to download, depending on your connection.
You will also need a fresh and running installation of the mediawiki software.
Install it and here we go:

I just started digging in the shop software magento for a project and set up the following development environment.
In this scenario development is done on two local machines while products and pages beeing already edited on the “Live”-Web-Server.
Git is used for version control and deployment. Also FTP SSH. Continue reading “set up magento in multiple environments”
Recently i ran into RAM troubles on my vserver for some reasons, i encountered the evil:
Cannot allocate memory at ...
So first i suspected mongodb to use up loads of memory as top showed.
But after some recherche work i learned mongodb only -seems- to use a lot of memory.
see here and here and here
The actual usage was around 20mb RAM, so mongodb was innocent.
The true RAM monsters were some apache and php-fpm zombies, but thats another story.
While suspecting mongodb i thought about outsourcing the mongodb and i found a free and sufficient offer in mongolab.
My interests were on and i gave it a try.
The free version has a limit for up to 240MB storage and since my app is just a small counter it should last for some time.
