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
<?php
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
/**
* This will register all the module directories with ZF
*/
public function _initModuleLoaders()
{
$this->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 . "/../"),
));
}
}
}
