Request For Comments: sending emails in symfony 1.2

Par NiKo le mercredi 17 septembre 2008, 09:35 - Dev - un commentaire

There should be a standard way for sending emails in upcoming symfony 1.2, and I’m in charge of implementing it, using the excellent SwiftMailer library. So I’ve created a dedicated RFC page on the symfony wiki just to get your opinions on the Right Way It Should Be Done®.

If you’re interested, there’s also a dedicated thread on the devs mailing list.

Edit: Swift integration didn’t make it for symfony 1.2, and here are my main reasons:

  • I didn’t get enough time
  • Swift is strangely coded from an architecture point of view: you must override the SMTP connection class to be able to send a mail using PHP mail() native function ; so it’s hard to extend or tweak it easily
  • I didn’t get enough time
  • Swift looked like a dead project at the time symfony 1.2 was released
  • I didn’t get enough time

To be honnest I’d like to see it integrated for symfony 1.3, but maybe with another lib… Stay tuned.

Back from the camp!

Par NiKo le dimanche 14 septembre 2008, 18:28 - Divers - un commentaire

I’m back from the symfony camp 2008. It’s been a really great pleasure to meet the community[1], there are so many smart people using symfony all around the world, it’s just amazing.

I gave a one day training session on symfony 1.1 to eleven attendees the day before, I think it was somewhat interesting even if it may have been too short to see every important aspects of the framework…

The conferences were also great, and some slides are already available:

Stefan has also taken some shots of the event.

Last and as a side note, as of now all my symfony related posts will be written in English, as it’s the main language used by the community.

The Symfonians Project

Par NiKo le dimanche 20 janvier 2008, 20:21 - Dev - 24 commentaires

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 :p
