One very cool feature of the Symfony Workflow Component is the ability to export workflows via graphviz.
Did you know you can also directly render those as PDF files?

Symfony and Angular: shared translations
Angular for frontend with symfony delivering the data have become quite a common setup.
When working with this constellation you will sooner or later come across the i18n topic. Most likely you would want to share translations between front- and backend. So that you could keep translations in one single location while using it for frontend templates as well as server-side error messages etc.
One approach would be to store translations in the symfony yml or xml files and deliver those to the frontend via an api endpoint.
Given that front- and backend-code run on the same server, there is an even simpler solution.

Symfony Cache Component with SncRedisBundle
Since version 3.1 there is a Cache component with a PSR-6 implementation integrated in Symfony.
So we do not need to add a 3rd party lib as Doctrine Cache anymore when we need caching these days.
Doctrine Cache does the job but by implementing a standard the Symfony Cache seems to have another advantage besides its delievered anyway. So i checked it out.
Documentation is still a bit sparse and the best resource so far is this blogpost:
https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-3-1-cache-component
I wont go into detail on how you use the Cache but rather how you integrate it with Redis, which is my favourite Cache backend.

Symfony development with docker on a mac
I recently started to do all PHP development with docker, since I was just tired of installing tons of dev libraries on my machine. Most of which i couldn’t even remember what they actually were good for.
When I first tried docker (docker-toolbox for mac) I was really disappointed how slow symfony apps ran inside the container. Continue reading “Symfony development with docker on a mac”

Since every beginning is “schwer” :)
So here there are.

[Symfony 2] Security Bundle – Benutzer mit username oder email anmelden.
Augenscheinlich unterstützt das Security-Module nur die Authentifizierung via Benutzername und Password. Wie man sich mit einem Benutzernamen ODER der E-Mail-Adresse und einem Password authentifiziert, ist ein wenig versteckt. So gehts:

sfGoogleTranslatePlugin
Hallo Welt!
Ich hab einen kleinen Wrapper für die Google Translate API v1 als symfony 1.4 Plugin auf github gehoben:
https://github.com/ivoba/sfGoogleTranslate
Einfach Plugin installieren und dann im Model oder wo es gebraucht wird:
$gT = new sfGoogleTranslate('de','fr');
$t = $gT->translate('Hallo schöne Frau');
echo $t;
[symfony 1.4] Class ‘sfLoader’ not found
Sollte man mal eine symfony 1.2.x Anwendung auf symfony 1.4.x migrieren und man stößt auf diesen Fehler:
Class 'sfLoader' not found
Dann hat man versucht einen Helper in der Action zu laden zB so:
sfLoader::loadHelpers('String');
Der sfLoader ist in 1.4 allerdings entfernt worden.
Stattdessen sollte man dann sowas schreiben:
$this->getContext()->getConfiguration()->loadHelpers('String');
Dann klappts.

[Symfony 2] Sandbox/Standard Edition – bootstrap.php
Wer sich wundert, woher die beiden Dateien “app/bootstrap.php” respektive “app/bootstrap_cache.php” im Standard-app-Verzeichnis der Sandbox kommen: Das Script unter bin/build_bootstrap.php generiert eben diese aus existierenden Sourcen.
