Zend Framework - Doctrine ORM strange Zend Tool behavior.

Hold on Cowboy

This blog post is pretty old. Be careful with the information you find in here. The Times They Are A-Changin'

Zend Framework… awesome. Doctrine ORB… awesome.

Both of these combined… PURE AWESOME.

I set up a project just at it says to on this page http://github.com/fmntf/zf-doctrine. It took some doing, but I got it working and was quite happy with my initial results. Then I needed to start a new project, so I just copied all the files, tweaked the DB name was flying with a new project… with one caveat.

One of the modules I created using a YAML file was not getting created in the DB when I ran zf build-project doctrine --reload. It was frustrating, I tried changing a bunch of things.

In the end the whole problem was that the module folder didn’t have a controllers folder and that was it. So I created a controllers folder and then it created the corresponding tables in the db. I think this code has much to do with it

application/Bootstrap.php

bootstrap('Frontcontroller');

$fc = $this->getResource(‘Frontcontroller’); $modules = $fc->getControllerDirectory();

foreach ($modules AS $module => $dir) { $moduleName = strtolower($module); $moduleName = str_replace(array(’-’, ’.’), ’ ’, $moduleName); $moduleName = ucwords($moduleName); $moduleName = str_replace(’ ’, ”, $moduleName);

$loader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array( ‘namespace’ => $moduleName, ‘basePath’ => realpath($dir . ”/../”), )); } }

}
