I want to pass an entire path as an action parameter to my controller action.
mycontroller/myaction/myparameter/path_value
e.g. path_value could be something like test/folder/folder2
I do not want to urlencode the parameter. Is it possible that in my controller action I can get the entire path as the parameter value for 'myparameter' (so, 'test/folder/folder2') instead of only 'test'.
I hope I am clear enough. Tnx in advance
You can pass it as <baseurl>?myparameter=test/folder/folder2
You will have to modify Zend's routing in order to do what you are attempting. Encoding the path may be much simpler for you. I suppose you could send this variable as a POST rather than a GET.

I will need to create a Custom Button "convert lead" that will perform the same functionality as Standard Button "Convert" when the button is clicked.
What is the best approach to do it..?
That's a very broad question. What exactly you need, what have you tried so far? Do you really need just a button that opens the conversion page or something more?
If you want to somehow recreate it with Apex... Core of the coded solution would be the Database.convertLead method. You don't pass to it whole leads (like to Database.insert for example) but instead just their IDs + bunch of control flags to make it do exactly what you need. Read up about LeadConvert object. And similarly you can get Account/Contact/Opportunity ID from the result object if it succeeded.
I don't think there's programmatic way to access field names & mappings defined by administrator for lead conversion. Maybe you'd need to store this info somehow (in helper object? custom metadata?). So then you'd query the field names from metadata, then query the lead fields and finally display table of fields & mappings to the user.
Im constructing a URL from query items using URLComponents and I want to add some query items as OR conditions rather than AND. Im not sure what the proper terminology for this is. Anyway I would like the following, roughly
website.com/things?param1=thing¶m2=thing|param3=thing|param4=thing
but appending query items i can only get
website.com/things?param1=thing¶m2=thing¶m3=thing¶m4=thing
My goal is to check 3 different parameters for the term I pass in, and return any results that match from any of the 3. If I was constructing the url from a string, I could just use a pipe instead of ampersand (I think - please correct me if wrong), but Im using URLComponents and am not sure how to do this.
Perhaps Im going about this incorrectly. I dont have a ton of experience with this. If this is the wrong approach, please point me in the right direction. Im not sure how to word this question appropriately and that makes it hard to search for an answer
Im not sure what the proper terminology for this is
There is no terminology for it; it doesn't exist. What you're trying to do is nonstandard. There is no such thing as a query item OR condition. Standard separators are semicolon and ampersand, with ampersand used almost universally. You can't use a pipe to separate query items.
Thus, for example, if you paste website.com/things?param1=thing¶m2=thing|param3=thing|param4=thing into the parser at http://www.freeformatter.com/url-parser-query-string-splitter.html, it doesn't know what to make of the pipes; it thinks that param2 must be thing|param3=thing|param4=thing.
Thus, URLComponents is not going to insert the pipe for you. Its goal and purpose is to make a valid URL, and you are attempting to make an invalid one.
I have seen the locale added to an URI as a path variable:
/en-US/blah/
or
/blah/en-US
and I have seen it as a request parameter:
/blah?lang=en-US
Is there a standard way that I should be doing it? If not what are the pros and cons of each approach?
I kind of like the request parameter approach because it doesn't require you to pass the locale with every URI (unless you use the second approach and add the locale to the end of the path). Any additional thoughts?
I believe the "standard way" is to use an HTTP "accept language" header. Other than that, if you think it ought to be a parameter (because it's a system-system call or you might request a language other than the browser locale) then it's just a parameter the same as anything else and you should handle it in a similar fashion.
Fun fact: even with this notation "/blah/en-US" it could still be a request parameter. Magic of mod_rewrite and friends.
If you need it as request parameter or part of the url depends of what you want to achieve. If you want to serve static content, you should have it be part of the path. If you want to act dynamically on the chosen locale, you should use it as request parameter, since you don't want to have your scripts replicated several times over different paths just to add different locales.
Is there any way I can use the format_number_choice function inside of a actions file. In fact I need to use it for a Form error message.
'max_size' => 'File is too large (maximum is %max_size% bytes).',
In English it's simply "bytes", but in other languages the syntax changes after a certain value (for example if the number is greater than 20 it's: "20 of bytes").
I can use parenthesis, of course, but if the framework offers support for doing this specific thing, why not to use it?!
The way it's currently implemented in the 1.4 branch, you can define only one translation per message using il18n XML files.
What you could do is create a custom validator which inherits the current validator (sfValidatorFile in your example) and does the size checking in the doClean method before calling its parent's method.
I suggest you take a look at the source to see how it works : sfValidatorFile
The correct way to handle number ranges for translation is explained here in the Definitive Guide. I won't reproduce it here as the documentation itself is clear and concise. Note however that the string is not extracted automatically by the i18n-extract task, so you need to add it manually - again, the documentation explains this.
So yes, you can use the format_number_choice() function inside an action - you just need to load the helper inside the action like this:
sfContext::getInstance()->getConfiguration()->loadHelpers('I18N');
I would like to know if there is a function that when i give it an ASTNode object (the ASTNode can be a class, method or a field in a CompilationUnit) as an argument it can show this object in a view (Tree view or Table view). If there isn't any such function, is there another way or workaround of doing it?
Thanks for your help.
You may be able to use the ASTView plugin
It's not clear if you are referring to Java or just something else. I'm assuming you need a Java tool. I'm not sure what exactly you expect to see in the "view".
Do check out nWire. It may be what you are looking for. Given any component in your code (like Class, field, etc.) it can show all possible associations to other components.
