Foreign key's onDelete for dummies

By Romain Dorgueil on Thursday, July 10 2008, 23:55 - database

Any modern relational database engine supports the onDelete and onUpdate attributes on foreign keys. Propel and Doctrine of course allows to define it in the schema file (yaml or xml) and I believe it is important to explicitly set it.

Symfony 1.1 is out, and the winner is... 1.2!

By Romain Dorgueil on Tuesday, July 1 2008, 23:52 - release

The longly awaited 1.1 version is finally out after long months of development. After doing this, Fabien started the 1.2 branch, and you can take a look at that magnificient revision which for sure opens a new era of symfony developments.

HashBin now available in open-source flavor

By Romain Dorgueil on Monday, March 17 2008, 23:58 - sites

Our first violin missed his plane yesterday, so Kwatuor is still not available in the upcoming unusable buggy pre-alpha (that miss all the functionalities anyway).

But while we're waiting for him to be available, I released HashBin in open-source, so anybody can dive into the code, and help me making it evolve. It still needs many attention, but hey, time is not the most available resource I have, and that's one of the two major reasons to give it to the community. Another one is that there is not so much open source symfony applications, and even less open source doctrine applications. After the doctrine 1.0 feature-freeze announcement, this could be a step to have simple sample applications (I hear little sarcastic laughs in the background...) people could dive in to learn this amazing ORM.

Well stop talking, here is the code.

TRAC web interface: http://trac.dakrazy.net/
SVN DAV repository: http://svn.dakrazy.net/hashbin/trunk/

SVN access is read-only for anyone, if you ever want to contribute, I'll be glad to grant you a commit access either on trunk or branch (still have to make up my mind, but at beginning that's not very important). Just ask me on IRC (hartym@freenode).

What amazing feature will you invent today?

Hashbin v3 just went to public beta

By Romain Dorgueil on Monday, December 24 2007, 06:57 - release

I'm proud to annouce that HashBin v3 is out, using the latest improvements to dkGeshi (old sfGeshi, soon public) and the brand new dkAntispamPlugin, which can give a text a note about its probability of being spam, or junk. If everything goes well with hashbin, and after some required (i guess) tuning to the plugin, it will go opensource to let you take advantage of it.

For thoose who never used it, HashBin is a free PasteBin service, a collaborative debugging tool allowing developpers to share source code snippets. Hashbin is powered by the Symfony Framework and PHP Doctrine ORM.

Using DBMS functions with sfDoctrine

By Romain on Tuesday, October 30 2007, 22:11 - how-to

I recently had a peek on symfony forum, and seen someone asking "How can I make a SELECT count(*) FROM .... with doctrine?". An answer to such a question should be pretty obvious as it's of everyday use, but the question seems to have come to life many times as well on IRC than on the forum/mailing list. Here is my two-cents how-to.

Symfony 1.0 is out!

By Romain Dorgueil on Monday, February 19 2007, 08:13 - release

Despite the DIGG side effects of which symfony project server suffered because of heavy traffic brought by the well known social bookmarking site's homepage anouncing symfony's first "stable" release, the long awaited 1.0 version is here!

For thoose who don't know it, Symfony is a MVC (Model-View-Component) PHP5 framework aiming to Rapid Application Development and good codinig practices like the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle. Their main contributors, french developpers from Sensio Labs Fabien Potencier and François Zaninotto have written a very good documentation book about it, that you can either buy at amazon (for thoose who like holding a real book), or download/read freely on the symfony project website as a PDF file.

Supported by a large community, you'll find support about symfony in diverse flavour, from the symfony forum to different languages mailing lists, going thru #symfony and #symfony-fr (for french developpers) on Freenode IRC network.

As the official release note is saying: At last, the long-awaited 1.0 stable version of symfony is just released. For all those who waited for the "stable" status to dive into symfony, the time has come.
