cakephp 3.0 'App\Controller\ContactForm' not found modelless form - forms

I am trying to create a modelless form using cakePHP 3.0, I have been following the guide through the cookbook here http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/core-libraries/form.html but it seems I am getting confused as to where to put ContactForm.php. It says to put it in src/Form/ContactForm.php but it did not work. Can someone direct me to this? Thanks

Pls, provide a bit more info about your problem
1) is ContactForm recognized in controller?
if not - check namespace
2) handle your data only in
protected function _execute(array $data)
{
// Send an email.
return true;
}
not in controller's
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
if ($contact->execute($this->request->data)) {
//NOT HERE!!!
} else {
// error
}
}

Also bear in mind that your server configuration may forbid php short open tags.
Make sure your class starts with <?php and not only <? to be on the safer side. If not, CakePHP will simply respond by the Your\Namespace\Class Not Found message.

Just verify where you have put Form Folder, it must be inside src Folder.
Also be sure that the class has Form as suffix.
Because your error is App\Controller\ContactForm not found, that means that you have NOT put Form Folder inside src Folder.

Where should I create a template for a json view in CakePHP 3?

I am using CakePHP 3.1 and trying to render the json index response for User model. I followed the CakePHP manual page and created index.ctp under the directory src/Template/Users/json/, but the file does not get hooked by the controller. I also tried src/View/Users, which also did not work. Should I specify a file to render or something else? In src/Controller/UsersController.php, I have index() method with
$users = $this->paginate('Users');
$this->set(compact('users'));
Check your AppController.php. Since version 3.1.0 this sets the _serialize to true by default. Therefore the template files are all ignored.
public function beforeRender(Event $event)
{
if (!array_key_exists('_serialize', $this->viewVars) &&
in_array($this->response->type(), ['application/json', 'application/xml'])
) {
$this->set('_serialize', true);
}
}
You need to remove that code from beforeRender.

neo4jphp: Cannot instantiate abstract class Everyman\Neo4j\Transport

maybe a simple question but for me as starter with Neo4j a hurdle. I installed the neo4jphp with composer in the same directory as my application. Vendor-Subfolder has been created and the everyman/neo4j folder below is available. For a first test I used this code snippet from the examples:
spl_autoload_register(function ($className) {
$libPath = 'vendor\\';
$classFile = $className.'.php';
$classPath = $libPath.$classFile;
if (file_exists($classPath)) {
require($classPath);
}
});
require('vendor/autoload.php');
use everyman\Neo4j\Client,
everyman\Neo4j\Transport;
$client = new Client(new Transport('localhost', 7474));
print_r($client->getServerInfo());
I always stumple upon the error
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate abstract class Everyman\Neo4j\Transport
Googling brought me to a comment from Josh Adell stating
You can't instantiate Everyman\Neo4j\Transport, since it is an abstract class. You must instantiate Everyman\Neo4j\Transport\Curl or Everyman\Neo4j\Transport\Stream depending on your needs
So I thought I just need to alter the use-statements to
use everyman\Neo4j\Client,
everyman\Neo4j\Transport\Curl;
but this doesnt work, debugging shows, that the autoloader only get "Transport.php" instead of "everyman\Neo4j\Transport\Curl.php". For "Client.php" its still working ("vendor\everyman\Neo4j\Client.php") so I am guessing that the use-statement is wrong or the code is not able to handle an additional subfolder-structure.
Using
require('phar://neo4jphp.phar');
works fine but I read that this is deprecated and should be replaced by composer / autoload.
Anyone has a hint what to change or had the same problem?
Thanks for your time,
Balael
Curl is the default transport. You only need to instantiate your own Transport object if you want to use Stream instead of Curl. If you really want to instantiate your own Curl Transport, the easiest change to your existing code is to modify the use statement to be:
use everyman\Neo4j\Client,
everyman\Neo4j\Transport\Curl as Transport;
Also, you don't need to register your own autoload function if you are using the Composer package. vendor/autoload.php does that for you.
Thanks Josh, I was trying but it seems I still stuck somewhere. I am fine with using the default CURL - so I shrinked the code down to
require('vendor/autoload.php');
use everyman\Neo4j\Client;
$client = new Everyman\Neo4j\Client('localhost', 7474);
print_r($client->getServerInfo());`
The folder structure is main (here are the files and the composer.json with the content
{
"require": {
"everyman/Neo4j": "dev-master"
}
}
and in the subfolder "vendor" we have the "autoload.php" and the subfolder everyman with the related content. When I run the file I come out with
Fatal error: Class 'Everyman\Neo4j\Client' not found
which does not happen when I have the autoloadfunction. I guess I made a mistake somewehere - can you give me a hint?
Thanks a lot, B
Hmmm... I was just trying around and it seems the Transport CLASS is not needed in the use-statement and the class instantiation. This seems to work:
require('vendor/autoload.php');
use everyman\Neo4j\Client;
$client = new Client();
print_r($client->getServerInfo());
also valid for having a dedicated server/port:
$client = new Everyman\Neo4j\Client('localhost', 7474);
If you have more input I would be happy to learn more - thanks, all input & thoughts are very appreciated.

Smarty seems to ignore addTemplateDir

I'm working in a Zend Framework based application (Shopware).
I add a template dir in my controller like this:
class Shopware_Controllers_Backend_Pricify extends Shopware_Controllers_Backend_ExtJs
{
public function init()
{
$this->View()->addTemplateDir(dirname(__FILE__) . "/../../Views/backend/");
parent::init();
}
}
But somehow, smarty always looks in the (not existing) part of the controller action:
Unable to load template snippet 'backend/mycontroller/model/main.js' in 'snippet:string:{include file="backend/pricify/model/main.js"} in Smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php on line 128
The Controller works over loading via ext js, but I do not see that this is a problem. When I var_dump template directories, the correct dir is included. I debugged the code far into smarty, but never found the part, where the directories are checked.
I'm aware, that this may be a problem within the software stack, but since I do not know where to search, I ask here. If I need to post additional data, please tell me.
I found, that the problem was that shopware extends CamelCase to camel_case folders.

SilverStripe blog module translation

I noticed that the blog module for SS have hardcoded pieces of text - that I need to translate (in french). I found that the code is in /blog/templates/Includes/BlogSummary.ss but when I modify it, nothing changes on front-end...
I tried to run a /dev/build/?flush=all but nothing... still.
Any idea? Help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Have you set your locale? I recently set up a site in English & Spanish and used this setup.
// add similar code to your _config.php file
#Translatable::set_default_locale('en_US');
#Translatable::set_allowed_locales(array(
# 'en_US',
# 'es_US'
#));
Further, I had to add i18n::set_locale() code to the init() function in my content controller to get the template translations to work.
<?php
class SmartLanguageExtension extends DataObjectDecorator {
function contentcontrollerInit() {
i18n::set_locale(Translatable::get_current_locale());
}
}
In my case, I added an extension to the Page_Controller class for reusability later on.
// _config.php file
Object::add_extension('Page', 'SmartLanguageExtension');

Access images or doc outside public folder in zend framework

I developing an application in zend framework. I want to store certain secure images and pdf documents outside public folder like /project/data/uploads or /projects/application/data/uploads.
I am not able to access the images/pdf documents other than public folder.
Can someone suggest a way to do it.
thank you
You have to have a separate action that knows how to fetch and deliver all that stuff. Something like this:
public function viewpdfAction()
{
$id = (int) $this->_getParam('id', 0);
// You implement some function - either here in your controller
// or someplace else - to get the pdf name from the passed id.
// Alternatively, you can pass the name itself. Up to you, of course.
// The key is that the request somehow identifies the file requested.
$pdfName = $this->_mapPdfIdToName($id);
// The path to the real pdf
$pdfFile = '/project/data/uploads/pdf/' . $pdfName;
// Disable rendering
$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);
// Send the right mime headers for the content type
$this->getResponse()
->setBody('')
->setHeader('Cache-control', 'public') // needed for IE, I have read
->setHeader('Content-type', 'application/pdf')
->setHeader('Content-Disposition', sprintf('attachment; filename="%s"', $pdfName));
// Send the content
readfile($pdfFile);
}
Of course, some of this can be pushed down into service classes to keep the controller as thin as possible. Everyone has different tastes in this regard.
I confess that this code not completely tested, mostly trying to give the basic idea. If I have made a total bonehead error in here, please let me know.
Hope it helps!
