Creating custom Zend View helpers I often end up with something like: // logic here if ($condition) { $output = <<<EOS... } else { $output = <<<EOS... } or using switch. Then to eliminate this, I create setPartial(), getPartial() and htmlize() for using external .phtml's. This is not the best solution, because partials do no...
I'm using string[] roles = Roles.GetAllRoles() to get a string[] of all the ASP.NET membership roles for my application. I'm sending the roles to my view in ViewData and using a foreach to create a set of Checkboxes using <%: Html.CheckBox("RoleCheckBox") %>. There are 3 roles and my view does render 3 checkboxes. When I do a View/Sou...
I need to convert string like this: $url = 'module/controller/action/param1/param1value/paramX/paramXvalue'; to url regarding current router (including translation and so on). Usually I generate the target urls using url view helper, but for this I need to specify all params, so I would need to manually explode the string. I tried to...
I've stumbled across a couple of PHP Framework questions on SO. But like //so/questions/2648/what-php-framework it's mostly an itching on the surface or popularity contest. Skimming through each frameworks API or introduction docs didn't give me a good overview either. However, I was wondering if there is something like a purely procedu...
I am trying to figure out where the appropriate place is to intercept the resolution of what view + controller is being called in ASP.Net MVC 2. I have a situation where I have a controller and a corresponding set of views. I also have the possibility of a customized version of both the controller and N of the views sitting in the proj...
I need to create Unit Tests for an ASP.NET MVC 2.0 web site. The site uses Windows Authentication. I've been reading up on the necessity to mock the HTTP context for code that deals with the HttpContext. I feel like I'm starting to get a handle on the DI pattern as well. (Give the class an attribute of type IRepository and then pass...
A beginner's question: If, in your nib, you have the File's Owner linked to the ViewController class, and you also have a NSObject-derived class, how do you communicate between the ViewController class and the NSObject class within code? For instance, suppose ScientificCalculatorView.xib looks like this File's Owner (class: Scientifi...
Hi, where, in your opinnion, should a breadcrumbs path be declared (in other words, in which letter of MVC)? So far I've been declaring it in Controllers, but I've recently started to work with CakePHP, where it is all made in Views and it surprised me. I'm just curious of your opinions. ...
I have a simple java gui calculator, with 3 number systems (there are some bugs but that doesn't matter now). Currently all code is in one file. My task is to rewrite it as MVC, and add possibility to run it in either gui or console mode. How should I divide this program to organise it as M-V-C ? Is it written properly enough to add cons...
Most web frameworks are still using the traditional action based MVC model. A controller recieves the request, calls the model and delegates rendering to a template. That is what Rails, Grails, Struts, Spring MVC ... are doing. The other category, the component based frameworks like Wicket, Tapestry, JSF, or ASP.Net Web Forms have becom...
Hi, I new in Zend. Main Question: Is this code good for user login (Its beginning- because that I want to know if its can be improve)? Thanks view index.phtml <? echo $this->form controller IndexAction.php public function indexAction() { $form=new Application_Form_Login(); $this->view->form = $form; if ($th...
I'm seriously confused about the concept of the 'Model' in MVC. Most frameworks that exist today put the Model between the Controller and the database, and the Model almost acts like a database abstraction layer. The concept of 'Fat Model Skinny Controller' is lost as the Controller starts doing more and more logic. In DDD, there is a...
My Table structure for user and his adress detail is as follows CREATE TABLE tbl_users ( id bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, loginname varchar(128) NOT NULL, enabled enum("True","False"), approved enum("True","False"), password varchar(128) NOT NULL, email varchar(128) NOT NULL, role_id int(20) NOT NULL DEFAUL...

And I'm wondering : Is anyone already tried to use mvvm light and asp.net mvc ? I know that some components will obviously not work but maybe, someone has achieved to do a better job with it. Thanks for your ...
I'd assume that since the query language sits within the controller (typically) that it belongs to that component, but if I play devil's advocate I'd argue that the query language is execute within the domain of the model, and is tightly coupled to that component so it might also be a part of it. Anyone know the answer? Is there a strai...
Hi all, I'm writing a Google Maps app that requests data from the server using jQuery's $.ajax() to send the request to my ASP.Net MVC Contoller. This control expects a List for the amenity types. What should the querystring look like for this? I've tried http://localhost:9090/mapamenities?amenityTypes=1,5 http://localhost:9090/map...
I'm practicing writing MVC applications. I have a Mastermind game, that I would like to rewrite as MVC app. I have divided my code to parts, but instead of working game I'm getting empty Frame and an error in "public void paint( Graphics g )". Error comes from calling this method in my view with null argument. But how to overcome this ?...
I want to use MEF with asp.net mvc. I wrote following controller factory: public class MefControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory { private CompositionContainer _Container; public MefControllerFactory(Assembly assembly) { _Container = new CompositionContainer(new AssemblyCatalog(assembly)); } protect...
Hi guys, I'm converting over a web-app to use the MVC structure of Zend Framework. I have a root.php include file that contains most of the database info, and some static variables that are used in the program. I'm not sure if some of this should be in the application.ini of in a model that is called by the init() function in a control...

What I want to know is what would be more "efficient" for me to learn given the circumstances above? By efficient I mean learning one desig...
