Le code de Symfonians en open source

NiKo — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 11:40:00 +0100

Tout est dans le titre, je viens de mettre en place une instance Trac/SVN dédiée au projet, le code est libéré et publié sous licence CC-BY-SA 3.0.

Je pense que la publication du code source de l'application est essentiellement utile dans le cadre d'un apprentissage de Symfony, le code étant tout de même très orienté métier.

Edit : Rapido, un petit screencast d'installation de Symfonians à partir des sources depuis subversion :

Symfonians en VF

Je viens de mettre en ligne la version française de Symfonians^[1]. J'ai préféré utiliser un sous-domaine pour définir la langue courante plutôt qu'un paramètre supplémentaire dans la requête, car le routing de Symfony implique de le gérer pour chacune des route (ou si y'a une astuce, je suis preneur.)

Ici, je détecte le sous domaine et en fait la langue courante de l'utilisateur au moyen d'un filtre. Pour ceux que ça intéresse, en voici le code :

<?php
class i18nSubdomainFilter extends sfFilter
{
  public function execute($filterChain)
  {
    if ($this->isFirstCall())
    {
      $context = $this->getContext();
      $request = $context->getRequest();
      $host_parts = explode('.', $request->getHost());
      if (count($host_parts) > 2) // We have at least a subdomain
      {
        $subdomain = strtolower($host_parts[0]);
        $enabled_cultures = sfConfig::get('app_cultures_enabled', array());
        if (array_key_exists($subdomain, $enabled_cultures))
        {
          sfConfig::set('sf_current_culture', $subdomain);
          $context->getResponse()->addMeta('language', $subdomain, true);
          $context->getUser()->setCulture($subdomain);
        }
      }
    }
    $filterChain->execute();
  }
}

Notez que je définis la liste des langues disponibles dans le fichier app.yml, pour éviter les blagues et gérer les domaines pour chacun des environnements que j'ai configuré^[2] :

prod:
  cultures:
    enabled:
      en:    http://symfonians.net/
      fr:    http://fr.symfonians.net/

L'activation du filtre se fait dans le fichier filters.yml :

i18nSubdomain:
  class:    i18nSubdomainFilter

Et roule ma poule, mon routing reste strictement intact

Symfonians, three days after launch

NiKo — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 22:15:00 +0100

Looks like people seems to appreciate the service provided by Symfonians.net. At least, they use it ! Here's some stats, three days after the site has been launched :

159 members has registered ^[1]
42 recommendations has been given ^[2]
56 applications has been added in the directory
40 companies has been submitted
9 job offers has been published
A dozen XSS/CSRF attack attempts. Ouch!

I've just added some more cumulative filtering features on people, applications and jobs lists, so now you can :

filter people available for hire, from a given country
filter applications from a given country, filter only opensource ones ^[3]
filter job offers proposed by a company, in a country and eventually accepting teleworking ^[4]

I've also slighly microformatted some detailled views like company and person pages, using hCard.

By the way, I want to mention that if your cocain is Django, you might use the DjangoPeople service, very nicely done and proven useful. Makes me think I must push on some geolocalization features on Symfonians... Stay tuned.

Edit: We got (roughly alpha) maps.

Notes

[1] Too bad I had some mail blacklist problem :/ Stay tuned for a blog post on this issue.

[2] I had two, one of them is about the fact I play the guitar

[3] Four opensource applications on five are french \o/

[4] Play, say Hi!

The Symfonians Project

NiKo — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 20:21:00 +0100

It's been a long time that I and some people I know were looking after a place on the web to publish a Symfony developer profile, post a job offer, share contacts and/or project opportunities. There's been some initiatives here and here, but nothing has really convinced me so far. So I've decided to write something on my own.

The name of the project is Symfonians. It's available in a beta state and only in english language for now.

There must exist a lot of bugs, so feel free to report them if you use the service

Ah, last but not least, I imagine that the site won't display nice on IE6 (maybe on IE7 too), but for now I don't care as I don't have much time to loose on this kind of fascinating CSS hacking challenges
