Before I continued on some more, I realized I needed to "fix" my MovieShelves module to make it's routes more uniquely named, otherwise it will conflict with other modules. 😛 I also updated my app to bring the DataTables code to 1.10 standards and to do a few visual tweaks. […]
Now it's time to build an authentication system for our application, so that we have public stuff for browsing while all the add/edit/delete functions are secured. There are of course a variety of ways to authenticate users and Zend has adapters for several popular ones including DB, the somewhat antiquated […]
Before I started with the expansion of the Zend app I did in the last series, I went through all the models and redid them in the manner I did the Movies one. I decided I liked it better for a few reasons: Cleaner file structure – having a bunch of folders […]
Taking a little break from my learning application to really just jump in with both feet into our current first Zend application. As we're getting near the deadline for completion, I was tasked with creating the SOAP stuff that another app will be accessing to pull data from our application. Before anyone […]
Whoa boy do we have a lot to cover this round! I got my input filters in place, created my first hydrator strategy, built my first custom validator, and dealt with uploading and manipulating images! In short, I finished off the basics of the add/edit movie model! Yay!! Also, as […]
Continuing along with my movies model, I discovered a few things. First, the init I had in my movies controller is outdated (init was part of ZF1 not ZF2) and can be removed as it doesn't actually do anything. 😛 Our books arrived and I'm already seeing some interesting stuff in […]
As I've been going through building my app for the Practical Learning series, one thing that has been bugging me is the way we had to prepend/append the individual divs for each form row item in our forms. It seemed to be a great way to introduce errors and inconsistency […]
After a bit of final tweaking from what I did in part 4, such as adding those owned counts to the other lists of attributes I'd already made (formats, genres, et al), it was time to tackle the last of the CRUD functions, and the biggest. Namely the manager for the […]
As I mentioned in part 3, I went ahead and made models for the genres, studios, and series. Then I started working on bulking up some of the interfaces. For example, I wanted to see how many titles are in a set genre, series, etc. Let's look at the series area […]
I thought I was trucking along pretty well with Zend (ZF2), but in discussing our progress, I've come to realize that my partner's code is completely different from mine. I've been using the first tutorial (the "Album" one) as a guide while he used the second ("the task list) which […]
