Zend Framework 2 - Custom Library

View Manager - Contexts

Adding possibily for controller action to have contexts - kind of like ZendFramework 1 contextSwitcher

How to Configure:

config file:

['view_manager'] => 
    ['contexts']  =>  
            'format' => array(
                'layout' => false,  // Enable / Disable layout for the context
                'suffix' => 'json', // View template suffix  action-{suffix}.phtml
                'xmlHttpRequest' => true, // True if context should only be activated on Ajax Request
                'headers' => array( 
                    'Content-type' => 'application/json',
                ) // List of headers to add to the response
            )
            ....

Controllers:

Specify what contexts are enabled for each action

class ApplicationController extends Controller{
     public $contexts = array(
        'action-name' => array('for','json','ajax'),
        'other-action' => array('json')
    );
    ...

Controller Plugins:

Context:

$this->context()->getContextInfo(); // returns the name of the current context - false if no context selected

AssetManager

Theme Management

AftZend allow you to create themes for your applications Themes require the "rwoverdijk/assetmanager module

// Theme
    'theme_manager' => array(
        'default_theme' => 'default',
        'custom_theme_path' => false,
        'theme_paths' => array('themes'),
        'adapters' => array(
            'AftZend\Theme\Adapter\Configuration',
        ),
    ),

- default_theme: name of the theme that will be used by default
- theme_paths: path of the themes:  by default /themes
- custom_theme_path:
		you can specify a custom path if you prefer {theme} will be replaced by the name of the theme
		e.g: "custom/path/{theme}/config/
- adapters: the adapter that will be used to select the current theme - Right now only one adapter 
	- AftZend\Theme\Adapter\Configuration that look at the value of "default_theme" in the configuration files
	- AftZend\Theme\Adapter\Session: get theme from session variable [TODO]
	- AftZend\Theme\Adapter\Route: get theme based from route  [TODO]

Theme structure

The theme configuration file (located in /theme/THEME/config.php) will override the application config

return array(
    'name' => 'bootstrap',
    'inherit' => false, // Theme can inherit other themes
    'asset_manager' => array(
        'resolver_configs' => array(
            'paths' => array(
                __DIR__ . '/public',
            ),
        )
    ),
    'view_manager' => array(
        'template_map' => array(
            'layout/layout'           => __DIR__ . '/view/layout/layout.phtml',
            'error/404'               => __DIR__ . '/view/error/404.phtml
            'error/index'             => __DIR__ . '/view/error/index.phtml',
        ),
        'template_path_stack' => array(
            'bootstrap-theme' => __DIR__ . '/view',
        ),
        
    ),
    /*
    'view_helpers' => array(
        'invokables' => array(
            'TestBootstrap' => 'Theme\Bootstrap\View\Helper\Test',
        ),
    ),*/
);

Database

Select

New functions

$select->clearAllColumns(): reset all the columns (event the one defined by the joins) $select->addColumn(): add columns to the select statement.

Forms

to do

Router

Admin Route

The default admin route is /admin

    'admin' => array(
        'type' => 'AftZend\Mvc\Router\Http\Admin',
        'may_terminate' => true,
        'options' => array(
            'route' => '/admin'
        ),
        'child_routes' => []

You can add child routes to this admin route . Doing so means that any action will be renamed to adminAction. So if you have a route that points to Controller A - Action "view" then the route will actually point to Controller A - action "adminView"

Extensions

Route to match all the extensions

'route-name' => array(
        'type' => '\AftZend\Mvc\Router\Http\Extensions',
        'options' => array(
            'extensions' => ['js','css'],
            'defaults' => array(
                'controller' => 'Controller',
                'action'     => 'index',
            ),
        ),
    ),

This will match any urls that end by .js or .css

Mailer

AftZend\Mailer

Config:

'mailer' => array(
        'sandbox' => false,        
        'defaults' => array(
            'from' => array('defaultFrom@email.com' => 'Default From'),
        ),
        'transport' => array(
            'type' => 'Sendmail'
        ),
        // Default Layout and View path
        'maps' => array(
            'default' => array(
                'layout/html' => __DIR__ . '/../view/mail/html/layout.phtml',
                'layout/txt' => __DIR__ . '/../view/mail/txt/layout.phtml',
                'view/html' => __DIR__ . '/../view/mail/missing.phtml',
                'view/txt' => __DIR__ . '/../view/mail/missing_txt.phtml'
            ),
            'otherTemplate' => []
        )
    ),

Params:

• Sandbox If value is set to an email address then all emails sent by application will be redirected to that address - useful for development

• maps Define view paths of your Templates here

Usign Mailer

$mail = $this->getMainServiceLocator()->get('Mailer');
$mail->setTemplateMap('otherTemplate'); // template paths must be defined in your configuration file
$mail->addTo('EMAIL ADDRESS');
$mail->setVariables(
       array(
          'var1' => 1,
          'var2' => 2
       )
);
$mail->send();

			'connection_config' => array(
				'ssl' => 'tls',
				'username' => 'yourgmailusername',
				'password' => 'yourgmailpassword'
			),
       	'port' => 587,
		)
	)
)

    'type' => '\AftZend\Mail\Transport\HttpTransport',
    'service' => array(
        'class' => '\AftZend\Mail\Service\MandrillService',
        'config' => array(

Cron Jobs Management

Warning: If you do not use the AftUser Module the pages will be publicly available to all

url: /admin/cron Allow Management of cron jobs.

Configure your cron server to execute this action every minutes It should be run by the same user as the Webserver

> php index cron execute

You can setup cron tasks to be run at certain frequencies -> once every X minutes Y hours

Manually execute one task

If you want to setup more complicated rules you need to use your cron job software

You can define the tasks in the database with a frequency set to NULL and use your cron job software to execute the tasks when needed

--uri TASKURI Force execution of a task

> php index cron execute --uri job_2 [--verbose]

Display list of cron tasks installed

> php index cron list
