- Zend_Form and 2 step view demoJanuary 6
-
Dear reader,
A lot of you are waiting to finally get their hands on Zend_Form. Since my previous demo was such a success, I have decided to wrap up another demo application. This demo will show the usage of Zend_Form, and how to integrate a 2 step view in the Zend Framework (note that it doesn’t use Zend_Layout).
Zend_Form is currently only available in laboratory, so don’t expect everything to work yet. Instead, test, review, and provide comments on the proposal by Matthew Weier O’Phinney.
I have found that by using Zend_Form, you can reduce a lot code. Checkout, and download the demo:

I have written a small demo app for those of you looking for a quick start with Zend Framework.
You can view, and download the demo at:
http://andries.systray.be/zf-demos/feed-reader/The download package contains:
- Zend Framework 1.0.0
- A conventional directory structure
- A bootstrap file
- An index controller (welcome page)
- An error controller (404, and other application errors)
- A feed controller, to read RSS feeds
- A default configuration file, with 2 stages (production, staging)Feel free to use it
Update:
- Tested with Zend Framework 1.0.1
- Improved error controller now available
- Usage of $this->_request->isPost()
- Added default feeds to play with
- Improved inline documentation
- Removed usage of setNoViewRenderer()
Comments/feedback are more than welcome!

If you are looking for a quick way to get started with the Zend Framework, then you should download this file. This download has a default setup for the Zend Framework, including:
- A conventional directory structure
- A bootstrap file
- A configuration file with 2 stages: production, staging
- An error controller
- An index controller
- etc
The only thing you need to do (if you don’t have a shared version of the Zend Framework) is to download the framework, extract it, and put the library/Zend folder, into the same place in the downloadable file.
A quick and dirty test should tell you if it works: just open
http://localhost/<foldername>/document_root/You should see “hooray application is running.” if everything went fine.
Update:
I have also made a modular starter package available. You can download it here.

A few weeks ago, after some discussion with Darby Felton, Darby created a Jira issue, which stated that the recommended directory structure and use of svn:externals are incompatible. The recommended directory structure cannot be maintained by svn:externals because Zend.php is sibling to the Zend/ directory. The svn:externals property only works upon directories, not files. An alternative approach is to create a ZendFramework directory, which in turn contains the Zend library.
|library |-|ZendFramework |-|-|Zend |-|-|Zend.php |-|PEAR |-|SuperLibSuffers from the problem of requiring each of the children directories of /library to be in the include path, resulting in suboptimal performance when working with multiple libraries.
After Bill Karwin sent a notice to the list, asking for feedback, a long discussion started. This led to a lot of usefull feedback, and justifications for splitting / cleaning up Zend.php, including:

Today, I submitted a proposal for Zend_Service_Youtube. This component will offer a lightweight wrapper for using the YouTube API. It will allow you to easily integrate online videos from YouTube into your application.
Make sure to read through the proposal, and post your comments.
