Finally i got this done with the likes and statuses but I would like to ask for help if it is possible somehow to transfer also the pictures on web.
thank you

Yes, $feed->picture will get you the URL to an image for a particular item, if it exists.
You should really look at using cURL via the PHP SDK for this instead of file_get_contents(). It is more robust.

I trying use zend paginator in my project.
And i have problem-when i trying use paginator in news controller, i have links in paginator on index controller!
<?php
class NewsController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
/**
*
* #var Model_News_Gateway
*/
protected $_newsGateway;
protected $_newsPerPage = 10;
public function init()
{
$this->_newsGateway = new Model_News_Gateway();
}
public function indexAction()
{
$crit = new ExtZF_Model_Criteria();
$crit->addWhere('active', true);
$crit->addDescOrderBy('publish_date');
$paginator = new Zend_Paginator($this->_newsGateway->getPaginatorAdapter($crit));
$paginator->setCurrentPageNumber($this->_getParam('page', 0));
$paginator->setItemCountPerPage($this->_newsPerPage);
$this->view->paginator = $paginator;
}
In view
$this->paginationControl($this->paginator, 'Sliding', '_partials/paginator/default.phtml');
And in default
<?php if ($this->pageCount && count($this->pagesInRange) > 1): ?>
<!--noindex-->
<div class="paginationControl">
(<?= $this->firstItemNumber ?>-<?= $this->lastItemNumber?>/<?= $this->totalItemCount ?>)

$page=$this->_getParam('page',1);
$paginator = Zend_Paginator::factory($result);
$paginator->setItemCountPerPage(10);
$paginator->setCurrentPageNumber($page);
$this->view->paginator=$paginator;
$page = $paginator->getCurrentPageNumber();
$perPage = $paginator->getItemCountPerPage();
$total = $paginator->getTotalItemCount();
$A = ($page - 1) * $perPage + 1;
$B = min($A + $perPage - 1, $total);
$C = $total;
$this->view->assign('url', $request->getBaseURL());
$this->view->assign('total',$total );
$this->view->assign('page',$page );
$this->view->assign('A',$A );

i add this code
jQuery(function($){
var container = $('#paged-data-container');
var overlay = $('<div>').addClass('loading overlay');
$('.pagination-control').find('a').live('click', function(){
var href = this.href;
var pos = this.rel == 'next' ? '-120%' : '120%';
if (Modernizr.history) {
history.pushState(location.pathname, '', href);
}
container.find('.data').animate({
left: pos
}, 'slow', function(){
var dataContainer = container.find('.paged-data').addClass('loading');
$.get(href, { format: 'html' }, function(data){
dataContainer.removeClass('loading');
container.html(data);
}, 'html');
});
return false;
});
var initialPath = location.pathname;
$(window).bind('popstate', function(e){
// Prevent popstate handler dealing with initial page load
if (location.pathname == initialPath) {
initialPath = null;
return;
}
container.append(overlay);
$.get(location.pathname, { format: 'html' }, function(data){
container.html(data);
}, 'html');
});
});
also add this code to my controller
public function init(){
$this->_helper->ajaxContext->addActionContext('calllogs', 'html')
->initContext();
}
now my collogs.phtml looks like this
<?php
include_once("header.phtml");
include_once("blue1.phtml");
include_once("sidebar.phtml");
?>
<div id="paged-data-container">
<?php echo $this->render('login/calllogs_page.phtml') ?>
</div>
<?php include_once("footer.phtml"); ?>
and this is my calllogs_page.phtml
<?php $paginationControl = $this->paginationControl(
$this->paginator, 'All', 'pagination.phtml') ?>
old stuff here
<div class="pagination-control">
<div class="fg-toolbar ui-toolbar ui-widget-header ui-corner-bl ui-corner-br ui-helper-clearfix" style="height:35px">
<?php if (count($this->paginator)): ?>
<div class="dataTables_info" style="float:left;"> Showing <?= $this->A; ?> to <?= $this->B; ?> of <?=$this->C; ?> entries </div>
<div class="pagination-control" style="margin-left:173px;">
<?php echo $paginationControl ?>
</div>
now my page is changing in address bar when ever i click on any pagination link but nothing happens than
this is the jquery which
$(function($){
$('.pagination-control').find('a').live('click', function(){
var link = $(this);
var container = link.parents('.paged-data-container');
$.get(link.attr('href'), { format: 'html' }, function(data){
container.html(data);
}, 'html');
return false;
});
});
Follow these tutorials: Zend framework video tutorials
Starting from video 11 Zend_Paginator is introduced. Later on it is modified to use Ajax in another video.
I really recommend that you look into it.
So I want to handle two forms on one single page, and I've got some problems to do it; I've got a module named 'contact', here is the indexSucces.php
<div id="registerForm">
<form action="<?php echo url_for('contact'); ?>" method="post" id="loginForm">
<?php foreach ($loginForm as $widget): ?>
<?php if(!$widget->isHidden()) { ?>
<?php echo $widget->renderRow(); ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php echo $widget->render() ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<br/><input type="submit" id="loginSubmit" class="btn primary" value="<?php echo __('Envoyer'); ?>" />
</form>
</div>
<div id="registerForm">
<form action="<?php echo url_for('contact'); ?>" method="post" id="registerForm">
<?php foreach ($registerForm as $widget): ?>
<?php if(!$widget->isHidden()) { ?>
<?php echo $widget->renderRow(); ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php echo $widget->render() ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<br/><input type="submit" id="registerSubmit" class="btn primary" value="<?php echo __('Envoyer'); ?>" />
</form>
</div>
Is it possible to handle that in a single action page ? I need to know the way on how to it, I'm stuck since yesterday. For exemple, when I want to submit the first form, it wants to submit the second form with.
Someone can provide me an exemple ? I can post my sh** action page if you want to see how I tried to handle that.
Thanks in advance !
EDIT:
I made this code according to your advice :
public function executeIndex(sfWebRequest $request)
{
$this->loginForm = new loginForm();
$this->registerForm = new registerForm();
$this->processForm($request, $this->loginForm, $this->registerForm);
}
public function processForm(sfWebRequest $request, sfForm $loginForm, sfForm $registerForm)
{
if($request->hasParameter('login'))
{
if($request->isMethod('post'))
{
$loginForm->bind($request->getParameter($loginForm->getName()));
if($loginForm->isValid())
{
$this->redirect('payement');
}
}
} elseif ($request->hasParameter('register'))
{
if($request->isMethod('post'))
{
$registerForm->bind($request->getParameter($registerForm->getName()));
if($registerForm->isValid())
{
$this->redirect('payement');
}
}
}
}
The registerForm is submitting correctly, I can see the errors I've made in the form etc, and if it's correct, it is correctly redirected. But when I submit the loginForm, here is the error :
Argument 1 passed to sfForm::bind() must be an array, string given : on this line
$loginForm->bind($request->getParameter($loginForm->getName()));
Why ?
Yes, you can.
Add a name attribute to your buttons (i.e. login and register), and modify your action to:
if ($request->hasParameter("login")) {
// handle login
}
elseif ($request->hasParameter("register")) {
// handle register
}
I would like to create a subordinate set of CMS pages in Magento so that the breadcrumb navigation at the top of the page looks like this:
Home > Parent CMS Page > Child CMS Page
Even though I can specify a hierarchical relationship with the URL key field, it seems to be that all CMS pages in Magento are listed in the root directory by default:
Home > Child CMS Page
Any ideas?
You are right, there is no hierarchy of CMS pages in Magento. The best solution would be to create a real hierarchy by adding a parent_id to CMS pages and modifying the CMS module to handle nested URLs and breadcrumbs. But that requires a lot of coding.
A quick-and-dirty hack is to modify the breadcrumbs manually on each subpage by adding something like this to the layout update XML:
<reference name="root">
<action method="unsetChild"><alias>breadcrumbs</alias></action>
<block type="page/html_breadcrumbs" name="breadcrumbs" as="breadcrumbs">
<action method="addCrumb">
<crumbName>home</crumbName>
<crumbInfo><label>Home page</label><title>Home page</title><link>/</link></crumbInfo>
</action>
<action method="addCrumb">
<crumbName>myparentpage</crumbName>
<crumbInfo><label>My Parent Page</label><title>My Parent Page</title><link>/myparentpage/</link></crumbInfo>
</action>
<action method="addCrumb">
<crumbName>mysubpage</crumbName>
<crumbInfo><label>My Sub Page</label><title>My Sub Page</title></crumbInfo>
</action>
</block>
</reference>
I had the same problem with breadcrumbs and cms pages a few days ago check here ->
Similar to Anders Rasmussen post I edited every cms page manually
In breadcrumbs.phtml I added a little condition to define if a Page is a CMS page (thanks to Alan Storm) and remove standard crumb(s) and added new crumbs via xmllayout.
<?php
if($this->getRequest()->getModuleName() == 'cms'){
unset($crumbs['cms_page']);
}
?>
xml:
<reference name="breadcrumbs">
<action method="addCrumb">
<crumbName>cms_page_1st_child</crumbName>
<crumbInfo><label>1st child</label><title>1st child</title><link>/1st child/</link></crumbInfo>
</action>
<action method="addCrumb">
<crumbName>cms_page_2nd_child</crumbName>
<crumbInfo><label>2nd child</label><title>2nd child</title></crumbInfo>
</action>
</reference>
hope that helps,

For enterprise (version 1.12) use this code at following file, location is:

This is my solution of the problem. I use custom layout for most of the CMS pages (default/template/page/cmsLayout.phtml) so I heve added following code into the layout file:
<div class="col-main">
<?php
$urlPart=str_replace(Mage::getUrl(),'',Mage::getUrl('', array('_current' => true,'_use_rewrite' => true)));
$urlPart=explode('/',$urlPart);
$string='';
$return='<div class="breadcrumbs"><ul><li class="home">Home<span> / </span></li>';
$count=count($urlPart);
foreach($urlPart as $value)
{
$count--;
$string.='/'.$value;
$string=trim($string, '/');
$pageTitle = Mage::getModel('cms/page')->load($string, 'identifier')->getTitle();
if($count==0)
$return.='<li><strong>'.$pageTitle.'</strong></li>';
else
$return.='<li>'.$pageTitle.'<span> / </span></li>';
}
echo $return.'</li></ul></div>';
?>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('global_messages') ?>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('content') ?>
</div>

-oops- this might be an enterprise feature only
There is a built-in CMS page hierarchy option in Magento.
To turn it on:
System > Configuration > General > Content Management > CMS Page Hierarchy - see here
To organise the hierarchy tree:
CMS > Pages > Manage Hierarchy
To manage the position of a page in the tree, after saving a page, go to its "hierarchy tab" - see the screenshot:
In the example the page "Our culture" is a child of "jobs" and not of the root directory
For Magento Enterprise, I have created an extension to solve this. It uses the built in CMS Hierarchy in the backend. The module is called Demac/BananaBread and shouldn't require any hacks or customization.
Direct download: here
Link to article: http://www.demacmedia.com/magento-commerce/introducing-demac_bananabread-adding-cms-breadcrumbs-from-the-hierarchy-in-magento/
I built a custom block as to generate the crumbs (removing the built-in and replacing with the custom one below in the layout):
namespace Uprated\Theme\Block\Html;
class UpratedBreadcrumbs extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
/**
* Current template name
*
* #var string
*/
public $crumbs;
protected $_template = 'html/breadcrumbs.phtml';
protected $_urlInterface;
protected $_objectManager;
protected $_repo;
public function __construct(
\Magento\Backend\Block\Template\Context $context,
\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface $urlInterface,
\Magento\Framework\ObjectManagerInterface $objectManager,
array $data = [])
{
$this->_urlInterface = $urlInterface;
$this->_objectManager = $objectManager;
$this->_repo = $this->_objectManager->get('Magento\Cms\Model\PageRepository');
$this->getCrumbs();
parent::__construct($context, $data);
}
public function getCrumbs() {
$baseUrl = $this->_urlInterface->getBaseUrl();
$fullUrl = $this->_urlInterface->getCurrentUrl();
$urlPart = explode('/', str_replace($baseUrl, '', trim($fullUrl, '/')));
//Add in the homepage
$this->crumbs = [
'home' => [
'link' => $baseUrl,
'title' => 'Go to Home Page',
'label' => 'Home',
'last' => ($baseUrl == $fullUrl)
]
];
$path = '';
$numParts = count($urlPart);
$partNum = 1;
foreach($urlPart as $value)
{
//Set the relative path
$path = ($path) ? $path . '/' . $value : $value;
//Get the page
$page = $this->getPageByIdentifier($path);
if($page) {
$this->crumbs[$value] = [
'link' => ($partNum == $numParts) ? false : $baseUrl . $path,
'title' => $page['title'],
'label' => $page['title'],
'last' => ($partNum == $numParts)
];
}
$partNum++;
}
}
protected function getPageByIdentifier($identifier) {
//create the filter
$filter = $this->_objectManager->create('Magento\Framework\Api\Filter');
$filter->setData('field','identifier');
$filter->setData('condition_type','eq');
$filter->setData('value',$identifier);
//add the filter(s) to a group
$filter_group = $this->_objectManager->create('Magento\Framework\Api\Search\FilterGroup');
$filter_group->setData('filters', [$filter]);
//add the group(s) to the search criteria object
$search_criteria = $this->_objectManager->create('Magento\Framework\Api\SearchCriteriaInterface');
$search_criteria->setFilterGroups([$filter_group]);
$pages = $this->_repo->getList($search_criteria);
$pages = ($pages) ? $pages->getItems() : false;
return ($pages && is_array($pages)) ? $pages[0] : [];
}
Then used a slightly modified .phtml template to display them:
<?php if ($block->crumbs && is_array($block->crumbs)) : ?>
<div class="breadcrumbs">
<ul class="items">
<?php foreach ($block->crumbs as $crumbName => $crumbInfo) : ?>
<li class="item <?php /* #escapeNotVerified */ echo $crumbName ?>">
<?php if ($crumbInfo['link']) : ?>
<a href="<?php /* #escapeNotVerified */ echo $crumbInfo['link'] ?>" title="<?php echo $block->escapeHtml($crumbInfo['title']) ?>">
<?php echo $block->escapeHtml($crumbInfo['label']) ?>
</a>
<?php elseif ($crumbInfo['last']) : ?>
<strong><?php echo $block->escapeHtml($crumbInfo['label']) ?></strong>
<?php else: ?>
<?php echo $block->escapeHtml($crumbInfo['label']) ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
Working fine for me in 2.1
Is there any way that i can render ONLY the start <form> tag of a Zend_Form object?
print $this->registerForm->renderForm();
renders <form></form>, and i only need <form>
Edit:
After Asleys possible solution i wrote this for My_Form class
public function renderFormOpen() {
return str_replace('</form>', '', $this->renderForm());
}
public function renderFormClose() {
return '</form>';
}
Still looking for at ZF way of doing thins, even though i don't think there is any - after going through the code in the ZF library.
You could write an custom form-decorator that uses a custom view-helper that only renders the open form tag. But I think this would be overkill.
Just "hardcode" the form-tags and fill the attributes with the data provided by the form-variable in your view.
<!--in your view-template -->
<form action="<?php echo $this->form->getAction() ?>"
enctype="<?php echo $this->form->getEnctype() ?>"
method="<?php echo $this->form->getMethod() ?>"
id="<?php echo $this->form->getId() ?>"
class="<?php echo $this->form->getAttrib('class') ?>" >
<!--in case your products are represented as elements -->
<?php foreach ($this->form->getElements() as $element): ?>
<?php echo $element ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<!--in case your products are represented as displayGroups -->
<?php foreach ($this->form->getDisplayGroups() as $displayGroup): ?>
<?php echo $displayGroup ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<!--in case your products are represented as subforms -->
<?php foreach ($this->form->getSubforms() as $subform): ?>
<?php echo $subform ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<!--in case your products are rendered by a view helper -->
<?php foreach ($this->products as $product): ?>
<?php echo $this->renderProduct($product) ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</form>
Just for fun the overkill way
// Get your products form
$form = new Form_Products();
// Add custom prefix path
$form->addPrefixPath('Foobar_Form_Decorator', 'Foobar/Form/Decorator', 'decorator');
// Set OnlyOpenTagForm-ViewHelper for FormDecorator
$form->getDecorator('Form')->setHelper('OnlyOpenTagForm');
// copy Zend/View/Helper/Form to Foobar/Form/Decorato/OnlyOpenTagForm.php
// In OnlyOpenTagForm.php
// replace Zend_View_Helper_Form with Foobar_View_Helper_OnlyOpenTagForm
// replace method "form" with onlyOpenTagForm"

Done! - The Java-Guys will love it ;)
You can render just the open form tag by passing false to the form decorator like so:
<?php echo $this->form->renderForm(false) ?>
Which will output something like:
<form id="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="/post">
Additonally you can pass a string to the form decorator to be enclosed by the form tags like so:
<?php echo $this->form->renderForm('Some Text') ?>
Which outputs something like:
<form id="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="/simchas/post">Some Text</form>
Hope this helps...
You could do something like this:
echo $this->form->getDecorator('Form')->setElement($this->form)->render(false);
