Symfony Upgrade Issues

1. XXXPeer::doselectrs()
Fatal error: Call to undefined method XXXPeer::doselectrs() in /root/workspace/ProjectName/lib/model/XXXPeer.php on line 37
That method belongs to Propel 1.2, and you are using Propel 1.3, which was introduced into symfony in symfony version 1.2
http://www.propelorm.org/wiki/Documentation/1.3/Upgrading#NewPropelMethodSignatures

New Propel Method Signatures
Another change is related to PDO's lack of a ResultSet correlate. The generated Peer doSelectRS() method has been renamed doSelectStmt(). PDO does not have a ResultSet class, so the doSelectStmt() will return an executed statement.

Solved:
Change doSelectRS() to doSelectStmt()

2. PDOStatement::next()
Fatal error: Call to undefined method PDOStatement::next() /root/workspace/ProjectName/lib/model/XXXPeer.php on line 39
same link as above

Solved:
change

$rs = AuthorPeer::doSelectRS(new Criteria());
while($rs->next()) {
$a = new Author();
$a->hydrate($rs);
}


to

// example of how to manually hydrate objects
$stmt = AuthorPeer::doSelectStmt(new Criteria());
while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM)) {
$a = new Author();
$a->hydrate($row);
}


3. PDOStatement::getInt()
Fatal error: Call to undefined method PDOStatement::getInt() in /root/workspace/ProjectName/lib/model/XXXPeer.php on line 41

tried:

Symfony Upgrade from 1.0 to 1.3

The upgrade from symfony 1.0 projects to 1.2 requires that projects first be upgraded to version 1.1, then 1.2 and finally 1.4. Before beginning the process ensure that the multiple version configuration has been completed. The following instructions will only serve as the base for the upgrade. For full details of the upgrade process and the changes there in visit the following pages:

http://www.symfony-project.org/installation/1_1/upgrade
http://www.symfony-project.org/installation/1_2/upgrade
http://www.symfony-project.org/tutorial/1_4/en/upgrade

1. Change directory into the root of project to upgrade
2. Copy the symfony skeleton file from the 1.1 symfony library
cp /opt/symfony/symfony11/lib/task/generator/skeleton/project/symfony

3. Copy the project skeleton file from the 1.1 symfony library
cp /opt/symfony/symfony11/lib/task/generator/skeleton/project/config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php config/

4. Edit the config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php file and ensure that the require_once points to the valid path and that the configuration and includes from the older config.php are set.

ini_set(‘include_path’, ‘/usr/lib/phplib/libs:’ . ini_get(‘include_path’));
define(‘__DEBUG__’, 0);
define(‘CONFIGPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/config.xml’);
define(‘CONFIGTYPE’, ‘XML’);
require_once(‘/opt/symfony/symfony11/lib/autoload/sfCoreAutoload.class.php’);


5. Run the upgrade script
./symfony project:upgrade1.1

6. Once the upgrade script has completed remove any depreciated configuration files (logging, i8n, etc)
read the output, migrate the config file then remove files

7. All of the batch scripts in the project will have to be updated have the following header information in place of the existing.

require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php');
$configuration = ProjectConfiguration::getApplicationConfiguration('frontend', 'prod', false);
sfContext::createInstance($configuration);
$databaseManager = new sfDatabaseManager($configuration);
$databaseManager->loadConfiguration();


8. Access the application and ensure that it is in a basic working state (it easier to do this after each upgrade than waiting until the end)
1) Flash attributes
change
$sf_flash->has('good')
to
$sf_user->hasFlash('good')

change
$this->setFlash('error_msg', 'Sorry');
to
$this->getUser()->setFlash('error_msg', 'Sorry');

change
$sf_flash->get('error_msg')
to
$sf_user->getFlash('error_msg');

Problem 1)
[sfException]
Call to undefined method WebController::getContext

Solved: Turn off customized webcontroller  for now
Project/apps/app/config/factories.yml

all:
# controller:
# class: WebController


9. Edit the config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php file updating the symfony include to point to the 1.2 version.

require_once(‘/opt/symfony/symfony12/lib/autoload/sfCoreAutoload.class.php’);


10. Run the symfony 1.2 upgrade
symfony12 project:upgrade1.2

11. Upgrade the databases.yml into the new format
Old Format

all:
propel:
class: sfPropelDatabase
param:
dsn: mysql://username:password@localhost/example

New Format

dev:
propel:
param:
classname: DebugPDO

test:
propel:
param:
classname: DebugPDO

all:
propel:
class: sfPropelDatabase
param:
dsn: mysql:dbname=example;host=localhost
username: username
password: password
encoding: utf8
persistent: true
pooling: true
classname: PropelPDO


12. Rebuild the propel module by running the following

symfony12 propel:build-model


Problem 2)
build-propel.xml:479:1: Table 'xxxxx' does not have a primary key defined. Propel requires all tables to have a primary key.
build-propel.xml:465:22: Execution of the target buildfile failed. Aborting.

Solved: add primaryKey="true"
Project/config/admerch.schema.xml

13. If your application makes use database sessions update your factories.ymlas such
storage:
class: sfPDOSessionStorage
param:
session_name: session
db_table: session
db_id_col: sess_id
db_data_col: sess_data
db_time_col: sess_time
database: example

14. It is strongly recommended to disable any specialized classes, other than the user object, in the factories.yml file.

Problem 3)
500 | Internal Server Error | sfDatabaseException
Database "example" does not exist.
1.at () in SF_SYMFONY_LIB_DIR/database/sfDatabaseManager.class.php line 109 ...

param:
session_name: session
db_table: session

db_data_col: sess_data
db_time_col: sess_time
database: example

use default session

storage:
class: sfSessionStorage
param:
session_name: symfony


15. The underlying propel connection has changed from creole to PDO. Any peer classes that directly hydrate data objects will have to be updated to use the PDO API. Please visit: http://www.symfony-project.org/installation/1_2/upgrade for the complete information.

Locate /admerch/config/propel.ini
change

propel.database = mysql
propel.database.createUrl = mysql://username:password@localhost/
propel.database.url = mysql://username:password@localhost/example

Replace with the following

propel.database = mysql
propel.database.driver = mysql
propel.database.url = mysql:dbname=example;host=localhost
propel.database.user = username
propel.database.password = password
propel.database.encoding = utf8


need to rebuild the object model:

symfony12 propel:build-model


Problem 4)
Error importing addon/propel/builder/SfPeerBuilder.php
Execution of target "om" failed for the following reason: /opt/symfony/symfony12/lib/plugins/sfPropelPlugin/lib/vendor/propel-generator/build-propel.xml:465:22: Execution of the target buildfile failed. Aborting.

16. Edit the config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php file updating the symfony include to point to the 1.3 version.

require_once(‘/opt/symfony/symfony13/lib/autoload/sfCoreAutoload.class.php’);


17. Before switching your project to 1.3 run the following in your project directory
validate project

symfony13 project:validate


http://www.symfony-project.org/tutorial/1_4/en/deprecated
This will identify any areas of your project that need to be modified due to removal of old features. As a note it’s pretty good at finding things but a full test of the application will be needed to validate the upgrade.

18. Upgrading from 1.2 to 1.3 is as simple as executing the following in your project directory

symfony13 project:upgrade1.3
symfony13 propel:build --all-classes


Problem 6)
run symfony13 propel:build --all-classes
Cannot fetch TableMap for undefined table: location

19. Before switching your project to 1.4 run the following in your project directory

symfony14 project:validate

This will identify any areas of your project that need to be modified due to removal of old features. As a note it’s pretty good at finding things but a full test of the application will be needed to validate the upgrade.

20.Once the project successfully validates under 1.4 run the following to complete the upgrade.

symfony14 project:upgrade1.4


Symfony: Import Project

1. Can't find PHPLIB_***
/UX_inPulseAd/config/config.php

Solved:

Fatal error: Class 'sfDatabaseConfigHandler' not found in /root/workspace/UX_inPulseAd/cache/cm/dev/config/config_config_handlers.yml.php on line 25

Solved:
The permissions of the project files and directories can be broken if you use a checkout from an SVN repository. The project:permissions task fixes directory permissions, to change the log/ and cache/ permissions to 0777, for example (these directories need to be writable for the framework to work correctly).

http://www.symfony-project.org/book/1_2/16-Application-Management-Tools


symfony12 project:permissions


doesn't use symfony10 project:permissions
[pakeException]
Task "project:permissions" is not defined.

or use
chmod -R 777 cache/
3. Memcache

Symfony Tips

1. Add Timer (symfony 1.0)

/**** init timer *****/
$timer = sfTimerManager::getTimer('myTimer');
/**********/


/**** display timer *****/
$timer->addTime();
$elapsedTime = $timer->getElapsedTime();
echo $elapsedTime;
die();
/**********/

2. Unit Test (symfony 1.4)
http://www.symfony-project.org/jobeet/1_4/Doctrine/en/08
Create test.php file under ProjectName/test/unit/test

// test/unit/JobeetTest.php
require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../bootstrap/unit.php';

$t = new lime_test(1);
$t->pass('This test always passes.');

To launch the test
$ php test/unit/test.php

Sample

require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../bootstrap/unit.php';
$t = new lime_test(6); // display 1..6

$t->comment('::slugify()'); // display #::slugify()
$t->is(Jobeet::slugify('Sensio'), 'sensio', '::slugify() converts all characters to lower case'); // display ok 1 - ::slugify() converts all ...


3. User Flash (symfony 1.4)
http://www.symfony-project.org/jobeet/1_4/Doctrine/en/13
A flash is an ephemeral message stored in the user session that will be automatically deleted after the very next request. It is very useful when you need to display a message to the user after a redirect.

setFlash(): The first argument is the identifier of the flash and the second one is the message to display. You can define whatever flashes you want, but notice and error are two of the more common ones.
// apps/frontend/modules/job/actions/actions.class.php
public function executeExtend(sfWebRequest $request)
{
    $request->checkCSRFProtection();

    $job = $this->getRoute()->getObject();
    $this->forward404Unless($job->extend());

    $this->getUser()->setFlash('notice', sprintf('Your job validity has been extended until %s.', $job->getDateTimeObject('expires_at')->format('m/d/Y')));

    $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('job_show_user', $job));
}

Include the flash message in the templates

// apps/frontend/templates/layout.php
<?php if ($sf_user->hasFlash('notice')): ?>
  <div class="flash_notice"><?php echo $sf_user->getFlash('notice') ?></div>
<?php endif ?>
 
<?php if ($sf_user->hasFlash('error')): ?>
  <div class="flash_error"><?php echo $sf_user->getFlash('error') ?></div>
<?php endif ?>

4. User Attribute (symfony 1.4)
http://www.symfony-project.org/jobeet/1_4/Doctrine/en/13
getAttribute(), setAttribute()

// apps/frontend/modules/job/actions/actions.class.php
class jobActions extends sfActions
{
    public function executeShow(sfWebRequest $request)
    {
    $this->job = $this->getRoute()->getObject();

    // fetch jobs already stored in the job history
    $jobs = $this->getUser()->getAttribute('job_history', array());

    // add the current job at the beginning of the array
    array_unshift($jobs, $this->job->getId());

    // store the new job history back into the session
    $this->getUser()->setAttribute('job_history', $jobs);
    }
}
myUser class
The myUser class overrides the default symfony base sfUser class with application specific behaviors

// apps/frontend/modules/job/actions/actions.class.php
class jobActions extends sfActions
{
    public function executeShow(sfWebRequest $request)
    {
    $this->job = $this->getRoute()->getObject();

    $this->getUser()->addJobToHistory($this->job);
    }
}
// apps/frontend/lib/myUser.class.php
class myUser extends sfBasicSecurityUser
{
    public function addJobToHistory(JobeetJob $job)
    {
    $ids = $this->getAttribute('job_history', array());

    if (!in_array($job->getId(), $ids))
    {
        array_unshift($ids, $job->getId());
        $this->setAttribute('job_history', array_slice($ids, 0, 3));
    }
    }
}
remove attribute
User's attributes are managed by an object of class sfParameterHolder. The getAttribute() and setAttribute() methods are proxy methods for getParameterHolder()->get() and getParameterHolder()->set().

// apps/frontend/lib/myUser.class.php
class myUser extends sfBasicSecurityUser
{
    public function resetJobHistory()
    {
        $this->getAttributeHolder()->remove('job_history');
    }
}


5. i18n and l10n (symfony 1.4)
http://www.symfony-project.org/jobeet/1_4/Doctrine/en/19
User Culture
The language French is ‘fr’, English is ‘en’; the country Canada is ‘CA’, United States is ‘US’; the culture for a user speaking French from Canada is ‘fr_CA’
setCulture()and getCulture()

// in an action
$this->getUser()->setCulture('fr_BE');
echo $this->getUser()->getCulture();

The preferred user culture can be configured in the settings.yml configuration file

#apps/frontend/config/settings.yml
all:
    .settings:
       default_culture: en_CA

Internationalization
set i18n setting to true in settings.yml

# apps/frontend/config/settings.yml
all:
   .settings:
       charset: utf-8
       i18n: true

The I18N helper group is not loaded by default, you need to either manually add itin each template with use_helper(‘I18N’) or load it globally by adding to the standard_helpers setting

# apps/frontend/config/settings.yml
all:
   .settings:
      standard_helpers: [Partial, Cache, I18N]

Sample template of how to use the __() helper

// apps/frontend/templates/layout.php

  <a href=""><?php echo __('About Jobeet') ?></a>

  <?php echo link_to(__('Full feed'), 'job', array('sf_format' => 'atom')) ?>

Create catalogue using i18n:extract

$ php symfony i18n:extract frontend fr --auto-save

Each translation is managed by a trans-unit tag which has a unique id attribute. A lot of tools exist to ease the translation process. (check out Open Language Tools https://open-language-tools.dev.java.net/)

<!-- apps/frontend/i18n/fr/messages.xml -->

How to use format_date
sfDateFormat::getPattern()
http://fellipeeduardo.com/blog/symfony-helper-format_date-how-to-use/en/

6. autoload.yml (symfony 1.4)
http://www.symfony-project.org/reference/1_4/en/14-Other-Configuration-Files
The autoload.yml configuration determines which directories need to be autoloaded by symfony

7. Authentication (symfony 1.4)
entire application require the user to be authenticated

# apps/backend/config/security.yml
default:
   is_secure: true

when an un-authenticated user tries to access a secured action, symfony forwards the request to the login action

# apps/backend/config/setting.yml
all:
  .actions:
     login_module: default
     login_action: login


By default, the myUser class extends sfBasicSecurityUser, and not sfUser. sfBasicSecurityUser provides additional methods to manage user authentication and authorization.

To manage user authentication, use the isAuthenticated() and setAuthenticated() methods:

if (!$this->getUser()->isAuthenticated())
{
    $this->getUser()->setAuthenticated(true);
}


8. Basic File Structure (1.2)

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Function spl_autoload_call() hasn't defined the class it was called for in /opt/symfony/symfony14/lib/storage/sfSessionStorage.class.php on line 93

Catchable fatal error: Object of class __PHP_Incomplete_Class could not be converted to string in /opt/symfony/symfony14/lib/yaml/sfYamlInline.php on line 105

Tried symfony14 cc, still have the error
Tried symfony14 clear-cache, red box - Task "clear-cache" is not defined
Closed browser without saving, worked (should just clear session/cookie);
symfony clear-cache is changed to symfony cache:clear

10. Forms
1) FormHelper was removed from symfony 1.4, so input_tag(), checkbox_tag() and etc not working.
http://www.symfony-project.org/forms/1_4/en/

2) Notice: Undefined variable: sf_flash
Use $sf_user->hasFlash()

11. Auth
Load AuthenticationService

# ProjectName/config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php
require_once('AuthenticationService/service/ASA_AuthSession.php');

Add Auth.class.php

# ProjectName/lib/symfony/Auth.class.php
public function initialize(sfEventDispatcher $dispatcher, sfStorage $storage, $options = array()) { 
}
public function setAuthenticated($authenticated) {
    #throw new Exception('here');
    #sfContext::getLogger()->log('CSC_User::setAuthenticated is not implemented.');
}

public function addCredential($credential) {
    #sfContext::getLogger()->log('CSC_User::addCredential is not implemented.');
}

configure factories.yml

# ProjectName/apps/appName/config/factories.yml
all:
   user:
    class: Auth

Also run symfony project:permissions

Symfony: Multiple Version in same environment

Your Complete Guide to Running Multiple
Symfony Versions on the Same Environment
http://symfonynerds.com/blog/?p=123

Step 1 Uninstall any existing symfony installations

[root]# pear uninstall symfony/symfony
uninstall ok: channel://pear.symfony-project.com/symfony-1.0.20

Step 2 Create a /opt/symfony directory
Install symfony in /usr/share/php/symfony

[root]# cd /opt/
[root/opt]# mkdir symfony

Step 3 Within the created /opt/symfony directory checkout the symfony 1.0 through 1.4 versions using SVN

[root/opt]# cd symfony/
[root/opt/symfony]# svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/branches/1.0 symfony10

...

[root/opt/symfony]# svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/branches/1.1 symfony11
...
[root/opt/symfony]# svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/branches/1.2 symfony12
...

[root/opt/symfony]# svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/branches/1.3 symfony13
...
[root/opt/symfony]# svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/branches/1.4 symfony14
... 

Step 4 Create symbolic links to the symfony commands in the bin directory

ln -s /opt/symfony/symfony10/data/bin/symfony /usr/bin/symfony10
ln -s /opt/symfony/symfony11/data/bin/symfony /usr/bin/symfony11
ln -s /opt/symfony/symfony12/data/bin/symfony /usr/bin/symfony12
ln -s /opt/symfony/symfony12/data/bin/symfony /usr/bin/symfony13
ln -s /opt/symfony/symfony12/data/bin/symfony /usr/bin/symfony14

To test the links

[root]# symfony10 -V

symfony versoin 1.0.22-LAST

[root]# symfony11 -V

symfony versoin 1.1.10-DEV (/opt/symfony/symfony11/lib)

Step 5 Update any existing symfony 1.0 projects to use the following include directories
project/config/config.php

$sf_symfony_lib_dir  = '/opt/symfony/symfony10/lib';
$sf_symfony_data_dir = '/opt/symfony/symfony10/data';

Step 6 New symfony 1.4 projects can use the following to create the projects

symfony14 generate:project ProjectName
