“Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows.” This means, you can use linux/unix commandline tools like ls, grep and find on your Windows system. However, the default installation of Cygwin uses Windows’ default commandline terminal cmd.exe, which is not really handy. Fortunately, there’s a solution to use PuTTY as Cygwin terminal.
Download and install Cygwin. The setup will download all needed packages, so make sure you check what you need (my main reason to install Cygwin was to have a Git client on Windows)
Download PuTTYcyg and extract the contents of the archive anywhere on you hard drive
Start putty.exe, select Cygterm as connection type and enter - (dash) as command. Enter a session name (e.g. cygwin) in the text field below Saved Sessions and click on Save.
Create a shortcut to putty.exe. Right click the shortcut, select Properties and append the following string to the target field: -load "cygwin". Of course you have to replace cygwin with the name of the session you saved in PuTTYcyg.
Open the shortcut and you should directly get into your Cygwin shell
As the documentation on Magento is a bit…spread around the web: here’s a collection of links to guides and hints how to deal with magento’s templating system (partially german). I will add more as I find them.
When configuring VPN connections in Ubuntu through network-manager-pptp the connections don’t get displayed until a reboot due to a bug. In the bugtracker I found a solution which makes the connections available without a reboot.
First, restart dbus
sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
Then run the NetworkManager applet by opening a command window with ALT+F2 and typing in nm-applet.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
WHY ?? BECAUSE YOU ARE ONE OF THE VERY VERY VERY FEW WHO READ THE README FILE!!
But because the other, huge percentage do NOT, we moved the actual contents
of this file into IGNOREME file because the chances for most of the people to
read IGNOREME are at least the chances to read README (more than that, we
believe they are really much higher).
So now, go read IGNOREME with the actual contents what you would have
expected here.
Wieder ein Update für den Raumbelegungs-Webservice: das Webinterface wurde (zumindest für vernünftige Browser) zum Großteil webzweinulljqueryajaxifiziert ™. Außerdem gibts mittlerweile den Desktopclient in der aktualisierten Version für die neue Basis zum Download auf der Projektseite.
Note to self: nicht hektisch zwischen Küche und Texteditor hin und her rennen – stresst nur und es kommt auf beiden Seiten nix vernünftiges raus. Btw: ich muss zurück in die Küche ;)
Resultat: der Code ist sauber und wartbar – das ZF nimmt einem einiges an Arbeit ab. Nur der Webservice hat einige Experimente gefordert, bis er mal lief. Ich habe übrigens nicht wie geplantZend_Soap_Autodiscover eingesetzt, da ich damit kein funktionierendes Ergebnis hinbekommen habe. Im Endeffekt hab ich dann das WSDL-Dokument des alten Webservices kopiert und angepasst, war die einfachste Lösung und funktioniert.
Neuigkeiten:
Generelle Architektur basierend auf der MVC-Implementation des ZF
SOAP Webservice über Zend_Soap
Caching mittels Zend_Cache
Screenscraping mit simple_html_dom
Webclient mit einigen Änderungen beim URL-Handling
Just a quick tip: I’m working on a project using Zend Framework and needed to switch off layout and view renderer for a specific controller. This can be achieved by adding the following calls to the controller’s preDispatch() method:
public function preDispatch()
{
$this->_helper->layout()->disableLayout();
$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);
}
