I'm developing a multilanguage application, and use routes with translated segments. For multilingual support I created special Multilingual plugin.
To use translated segments I need set translator for Zend_Controller_Router_Route before routes init. So only possible place for this in my plugin is routeStartup method, but there is one problem here - for determine right locale I need to use properties of request (Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract), like module, controller and action names, but they are not defined yet here in routeStartup method. They are already defined, for example, in routeShutdown - but I can't set translator for route there, because it have to be done before routes init.
So what can I do:
can I get request properties somehow in routeStartup
or can I re-setup translator later in routeShutdown
P.S: there is a question with exactly the same problem Zend_Controller_Router_Route: Could not find a translator, but proposed answers is not the option for me, because I can't just retrieve language code from url with Regex, I have much more complicated code to define right language code.
Thanks.
What about putting your code in preDispatch? That's what I personally do when I need to check if the person is logged in. Maybe you can move your code there too?

I wish to localize a Flutter application where locales are fetched by an API call, given the requested language.
I was hoping to be able to use the Intl package or something similar, but I am not sure this is possible without the .arb files.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this without reinventing the wheel?
(Having the localizations stored locally is not an option)
Down below, you can see a class which is converted to a singleton pattern. You can use any service locator package. It will be the same thing.
Now you can call this class in your main function, default set to EN.
Now let's say, you want to support SPANISH and not want to use .arb files
Now you can call google translate and replace values with the existing one. for every variable. I hope this helps.
Use https://pub.dev/packages/localizely_sdk package, it provides what you want to achieve
Turns out easy_localization has the functionality described. Simply creating a custom HttpAssetLoader and passing it to the easy_localization initialization method works out of the box, and provides device language detection, and application rebuild on locale change as intended.
I have copied the Forms from the /libs/foundation/components/form to /apps/mywebsite/components/form, I made some changes to the copied form files but still the default form is getting called.
Could you let me know or provide some documentation for the forms.
Thanks in advance
The problem is that you moved things to:
/apps/mywebsite/components/form
Instead, you need to copy them to:
/apps/foundation/components/form
apps overrides libs ONLY if the path is otherwise the same
so:
/apps/something/something/somethingelse
will override:
/libs/something/something/somethingelse
if ANY part of that path is different, that overlay won't work.
In addition, if something calls a component/resource/whatever under /libs using the fully qualified name (e.g. actually including /libs/ at the beginning) then it will still use that. But this is rare.
Let me know if you have more issues.
BTW, you can change this search approach (apps before libs) in the resource resolver settings in OSGI. It comes this way by default but can be changed.
If you didn't want to overrride but extend the foundation forms, you need to make sure that you copied everything or have the inheritance to foundation right. Most important is the cq:editConfig/cq:formParameters, where you need to have sling:resourceSuperType="foundation/components/form/defaults/field". If you use a cq:template instead, you need to set the supertype parameter there.
Then you would have to use your components on the page instead of the foundation ones.
I have a facebook app developed in plain PHP, I'm migrating the app to YII framework.
The thing is that I use a class call "utilsFacebook" where I have the object facebook(of the fb sdk) and all the methods that I need to get data from facebook, getUserId, getUserFriendList, etc.
I don't know how to handle all the operations that I do in utilsFacebook with Yii.
Create a controller with the functions of utilsFacebook is the correct think to do?
Every time that I instance the controller would create a new Facebook object, Should I store that object in a SESSION to get a better performance or is a bad idea?
Q. Create a controller with the functions of utilsFacebook is the correct think to do?
Having done a facebook app using yii as the framework, i would recommend you to make this library either a component, or an extension.
But definitely don't put these functions in the controller directly. Whenever a controller needs them call the functions using your custom facebook util class.
Components can be put in the folder: projectrootfolder/protected/components
Extensions can be put in the folder: projectrootfolder/protected/extensions
If you don't believe that either of these make semantic sense, you can always create a new folder within protected, say utils and put the class there. However i think extensions is the best way to go.
Q. Should I store that object in a SESSION to get a better performance or is a bad idea?
I don't think it's necessary to store the object in a session, because there will be no visible performance gain. Further you'll complicate your code unnecessarily.
What i had done was, created an app level component and used this component throughout the app, in any controller.
Example:
In your application's config, protected/config/main.php :
'components'=>array(
'fbHelper'=>array( // gave the component this name
'class'=>'ext.utils.FacebookHelper', // had stored the helper class in extensions/utils folder
'parameter1'='somevalue',
// more parameters
),
// standard yii app components
),
This will allow you to use the component like this: Yii::app()->fbHelper->getFriends();
Take a look at the facebook-opengraph extension, which could help you, on the way.
I'm new at using Play Framework 2.0 (I am using Scala) and have a question about sessions.
I come from a Ruby on Rails background, so I tend to think of everything that I learn in Play Framework with respect to Ruby on Rails.
With that in mind, is there any way for me to call stuff stored in the Session while I am in the view?
If I have "hello" -> "world" stored in the Session, I want to be able to do something like #session.get("hello") and be able to use "world" in the view. Is this possible?
The other option I see is to store the value in a variable in the controller, and pass that along to the view by doing something like OK( var ), but that way seems kind of clunky especially if I start using more variables.
Thanks!
Sessions in Play store in cookies and are really just for cross-request data. If that is what you want then you can use #session.get("hello") but what you might actually be after is a way to pass stuff from controllers to templates without having to specify them as parameters. In that case, see the very detailed answer to that question here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/9632085/77409
Yes you can use #session.get("hello") in template, however it looks that you need to specify at least implicit parameter named 'session' at the beginning of the template when using templates with Scala controllers:
#()(implicit session: play.api.mvc.Session)
Also there is flash scope - it differs from session that it lives only for one request and is not signed. So it is most often used just for transporting error/inf messages.
See Session and flash scopes doc
Finally as each template is just a Scala function, you can also call some action from your controller and retrieve session data
You can definetly call ur session in play templates.
Try this code - it works in views:
$session.session_variable_name;
I'm trying to add multi language functionality to an existing application.
My URL's look like this:
Without language: www.example.com/controller/action/params
With language: www.example.com/de/controller/action/params
If :lang is not specified ('de' in the example above) it should take the default language (set in the ini) or just use Zend_Translate default keys.
Both of the URL's above need to work.
My Problem now is the following: I'm able to activate get the first URL with the :lang working, but then the default one doesn't work. Why?
Somehow, the chaining of the default route and the language rout doesn't work properly.
My code is the same (for the chaining/routing stuff) like here: http://devzone.zend.com/1765/chaining-language-with-default-route/
I'm not using modules (actively, of course teh default stuff is enabled), maybe my default route (same as in the code) is just wrong? Althought it works, if i disable the language rout and chaining.
