Zend Framework Navigation - dynamically adding parameters

Hello.. I am experimenting with Zend_Navigation to build breadcrumb for a web site. I created an XML file which lists the hierarchy of pages. Things are working fine for the most part except for pages that have dynamic parameters. For example, there is a group page which has the URL " www.../groups/gid/1001". The id 1001 is dynamic so i...

Adding the id attribute to a Zend_Form_Decorator_Label

I would like to add the id attribute to a label field in a Zend Form Element, but when setting 'id'=>'namelabel' in the decorator properties, it sets for='namelabel' in the label instead of adding the attribute of id='namelabel' $name = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('name'); $name->setLabel('Business Name:'); $name->addDecorator('Label',ar...

Page Load - White "flash" inbetween pages

There are two websites, one live one under development. I am porting a site to Zend Framework (for maintainability/integration purposes). The original (live) site has seamless page loads - it will load, then update the content on the screen while keeping the background image, navigation etc on the page. The ported site (development) "f...

Does Rails help in learning PHP Zend Framework

I'm starting to learn Zend Framework and it reminds of when I dabbled with Rails a while back. Does knowledge of Rails help with better understanding Zend and the whole controllers, model, views architecture? Zend feels to me like new PHP, Rails-style. There are a lot of people talking about the steep learning curve, so I was thinking ...

Zend Framework - Use data collected from database in multiple actions

If I want to gather some data from the database and use it in multiple actions of a controller, how would I do this? Currently I just access the model and retrieve the data separately in each action (yes, I know this is inefficient... it's why I'm asking you all!): public function indexAction() { $model = $this->_getStuffModel(); ...

Multiple controllers for this?

I'm new to zend so I'm not sure what's the best way to organize what I'm trying to do. I direct the user to a series of quizzes. mysite.com/quiz1 mysite.com/quiz2 mysite.com/quiz3 mysite.com/quiz4 When the user answers the first quiz, he is forwarded to a page that tells him if his answer is correct, and on the same page he can choose ...

Zend_Auth setCredentialTreatment

I'm using Zend_Auth with setCredentialTreatment to set the hash method and salt. I see all examples doing something like this, where the salt seems to be inserted as a text. ->setCredentialTreatment('SHA1(CONCAT(?,salt))' but my salt is stored in the database. I could retrieve it first then use it in setCredentialTreatment but is t...

What are the best practices for adding icons to Zend Framework applications?

I want to add icons to my application. I've put the icons in public_html/images/icons/ and I want a DRY way to put them in my view-scripts. So I'd preferably not repeat.. <img src="<?php echo $this->baseUrl();?>/images/icons/plus-circle.png"</a> ..for every icon. I'd prefer a simple object+function call. What is a best practice for th...

Will Zend let me connect to multiple legacy databases for a single page?

I have to connect to lots of legacy databases and bring back the information for a single integrated page. Will Zend let me do that "naturally" or is that something that can be done in Zend only as a "hack"? Am I better off rolling my own for things like this kind of project and leaving frameworks out of the picture? Thanks. edit: m...

Where does Magento's Admin Panel Navigation Rendering Hook into the ACL?

When you log into the Magento Admin Panel, you're only shown menu items that your role allows you to. Where in the Core does Magento check the user's role to determine which Navigation items should be shown? (I'm not interested in the _isAllowed method on Admin controllers, I'm interested in the Navigation rendering). Also, as along a...

Request: Please show me a working example of how to retrieve(in an array?) returned rows from a Stored Procedure on a MSSQL server using Zend Framework.

Module-based projects: when to use them or not use them

I'm starting to familiarize myself with using the module-based architecture for zend framework projects. My real reason behind being interested in the module architecture is to be able to take a module from one project and just drop it into another project. Maybe I'm not getting it right.. But what I'm noticing right off the bat is that...
