How to properly translate the name of the application in Yii2?
We can easily set the application name in main-local.php (or config/main.php) like so:
$config = [
'name' => 'My Application Name',
// ...
];
But how would we translate it?
Using something like \Yii::t('app.name', 'My Application Name') does not work because the configuration file is parsed before the application language is even determined or set.
The easiest way is to do translation on actual usage of application name:
<?= \Yii::t('app.name', Yii::$app->name) ?>
For messages extraction you may use fake translation in comment. Not sure about Poedit, but built-in Yii extractor support this some time ago:
$config = [
// \Yii::t('app.name', 'My Application Name')
'name' => 'My Application Name',
// ...
];
In worst case you may create separate file for such fake translations only for messages extraction, and don't include it on actual execution.

I'm looking for 2 specific variables.
Wishlist - The var_message variable has some styling to it that im trying to edit.
Abandoned Carts - pulls on this extension URL : connector/email/basket/code/secret/quote_id/*****
And im unable to find the location of the file that is accessed by that URL or command.
Any assistance that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
Also if someone could tell me how i might trace the locations of these things without "Just knowing" that would be grand too.
Kind Regards,
the correct variable name is message (not var_message)
variable message is populated in controller Mage_Wishlist_IndexController
inside method sendAction
here it is:
$emailModel = Mage::getModel('core/email_template');
$sharingCode = $wishlist->getSharingCode();
foreach ($emails as $email) {
$emailModel->sendTransactional(
Mage::getStoreConfig('wishlist/email/email_template'),
Mage::getStoreConfig('wishlist/email/email_identity'),
$email,
null,
array(
'customer' => $customer,
'salable' => $wishlist->isSalable() ? 'yes' : '',
'items' => $wishlistBlock,
'addAllLink' => Mage::getUrl('*/shared/allcart', array('code' => $sharingCode)),
'viewOnSiteLink' => Mage::getUrl('*/shared/index', array('code' => $sharingCode)),
'message' => $message
)
);
}
$wishlist->setShared(1);
$wishlist->save();
and the actual content of the message comes from a form input and gets fetched over here:
$message = nl2br(htmlspecialchars((string) $this->getRequest()->getPost('message')));
there is no actual styling or css assigned to it. In fact most of styles are defined inline in email templates
I've tried to search the information according to this, but couldn't find any useful ones.. I just created email sending in Yii2 and the email sends as a "My Application", I guess it's because standard Yii::$app->name is like that. Could someone tell me how to change it?
Yii::$app->name value is assigned in your application config
You can change the id and name attribute in your config file
'id' => 'your-applicatio-id',
'name' => 'Your application Name',
these attributesa are store in different file depend by the template you are using
in basic templae you can set these values in
yourapp/confi/web.php
$params = require(__DIR__ . '/params.php');
$config = [
'id' => 'your-id',
'name' => 'Your Name',
......
in advanced template you can set these values in
backend/config/main.php
and in
frontend/config/main.php
You can use it in common config file too
common/config/main.php
I have installed my own custom theme to xenforo. In my template.xml file i can see the usage of some variable like {$requestPaths.fullBasePath} in the head section. If i want use another variable like these in the header section, where should i defined this variable and from where we can assign values o that variable?
You can do that in the controller, something similar to this:
$viewParams = array(
'variableName' => $variableValue,
'variableName2' => $someOtherValue,
'someArray' => array(
'foo' => 'bar'
)
);
return $this->responseView('MyAddOn_ViewPublic_SomeViewClass', 'some_template', $viewParams);
Then in your template, you can use those variables with the curly syntax:
{$variableName} // output $variableValue with html escaped
{xen:raw $variableName2} // output $someOtherValue
{$someArray.foo} // output "bar"
There are other ways to pass variables to template too: using template_create event listener or <xen:container /> but that's quite complicated. For more information regarding add-on development, read here.
I have been following this guide to load my menu configuration and i think it is very nice and clean way to load the menu.
My question is simple, is there a way to load your ACL configuration on the same way with a config array and some kinda of factory?
If there isn't, how do i load a ACL configuration and use with that menu in a easy way?
Thanks!
Edit:
This is a very good blog post on why use modules that is already done and not make your own, http://hounddog.github.com/blog/there-is-a-module-for-that/
ZF2 contains ACL and also RBAC (role based ACL - might be in ZF2.1), but to put it in place, easier is to use module which you can plug into your application. BjyAuthorize seems to me a bit bloated, you have to use ZfcUser module. I prefer ZfcRbac, the ACL rules are based on user roles (group) and their access to controller, action or route. Configuration stored in one config file, really easy to implement.
Most likely there are several ways to do it, but I prefer to do it in getViewHelperConfig() of application's Module.php (here I use BjyAuthorize module to simplify work with ACL, and in particular it allows to set ACL rules in configuration file module.bjyauthorize.global.php)
public function getViewHelperConfig()
{
return array(
'factories' => array(
'navigation' => function($sm) {
$auth = $sm->getServiceLocator()->get('BjyAuthorize\Service\Authorize');
$role = $auth->getIdentityProvider()->getIdentityRoles();
if (is_array($role))
$role = $role[0];
$navigation = $sm->get('Zend\View\Helper\Navigation');
$navigation->setAcl($auth->getAcl())->setRole($role);
return $navigation;
}
)
);
}
Play with This structure . get role and resource from database and save this in session for or any caching .
You are right, there is no out-of-the-box-all-in-one solution. You have to build some bridges between the modules.
Another easy way to integrate BjyAuthorize is using **Zend Navigation**s default methods as described by Rob Allen:
Integrating BjyAuthorize with ZendNavigation
$sm = $e->getApplication()->getServiceManager();
// Add ACL information to the Navigation view helper
$authorize = $sm->get('BjyAuthorizeServiceAuthorize');
$acl = $authorize->getAcl();
$role = $authorize->getIdentity();
ZendViewHelperNavigation::setDefaultAcl($acl);
ZendViewHelperNavigation::setDefaultRole($role);
You can also use ZfcRbac and use a listener to make it work with Zend Navigation.
Since this is a lot of code I simply post the link here:

I've just created an ACL module that creates an ACL Service parsing the routes.
To manage your access control to your application you only need to define roles and add a new key 'roles' in every route. If you do not define that key or its array is empty, then the route becomes public. It also works with child routes.
As an example:
array(
'router' => array(
'routes' => array(
'user\users\view' => array(
'type' => 'Segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/admin/users/view/id/:id/',
'constraints' => array(
'id' => '[0-9]+',
),
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'User\Controller\Users',
'action' => 'view',
'roles' => ['admin', 'user'],
),
),
),
),
),
);
The module can be installed via composer and it is now listed in the zend modules repository: http://zfmodules.com/itrascastro/TrascastroACL
You can get more detailed info about use and installation from my blog: http://www.ismaeltrascastro.com/acl-module-zend-framework/
I am working for a company who use tabulated html/JS interfaces. These are home grown (real honest to god s) with query events attached to each cell. For the old usage they were suitable, but the interactions required between rows and cells are becoming much more complex on the client side. Specifically they want both server and client side validation.
To facilitate this, the devs I report to are super keen on Zend_Forms, and insist that to use a framework like ExtJS, they don't want to have to write back end and front end code twice (please ignore that if it's all home grown they'll have to do this anyway).
So with that in mind, I'm trying to leverage Zend_Form decorators to create Ext.grid.Panel column defintions. For this, I would need to use decorators to export an array (and then json it using the ViewHelper), or render a JSON string directly.
So this would be something like:
$dateElement = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('startDate', array(
'label' => 'Start Date',
'validators' => array(
new Zend_Validate_Date()
)
));
echo (string)$dateElement;
would output:
{ text: 'Start Date', dataIndex:'startDate', xtype:'datecolumn'}
or (obviously not with string cast, but maybe with ->toArray() or something):
array( 'text' => 'Start Date', 'dataIndex' => 'startDate', 'xtype' => 'datecolumn')
I think if I could get it to this stage, I could get what I need out of it.
Has anyone here tried to do anything similiar to this (getting a JSON/XML/other markups output, rather than HTML from Zend_Forms using Decorators) or if they could point me to any resources?
I think I have a solution...
Make a decorator similar to this:
class My_Form_JSON_Decorator extends Zend_Form_Decorator_Abstract{
protected $xtype;
protected $dataIndex;
public function __construct($dataIndex,$xtype){
$this->xtype=$xtype;
$this->dataIndex=$dataIndex;
}
public function render($content){
$element=$this->getElement();
$label=$element->getLabel
//if you need errors here too do the same with $element->getMessages();
return 'array ("text"=>"'.$label.'","dataIndex"=>"'.$this->dataIndex.'","datecolumn"=>"'.$this->xtype.'")';
}
}
Then, on the form, use something similar to this:
$dateElement = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('startDate', array(
'label' => 'Start Date',
'validators' => array(
new Zend_Validate_Date()
)
$dateElement->setDecorators(array(
new My_Form_JSON_Decorator("startDate","datecolumn");
));
And finally, on the View, you should have this:
{
Date: <?php echo $this->form->startDate; ?>,
}
I didn't tried the code above but, I did it with a similar code I used once when I needed to change Decorators of a Form.
It could not be all correct but, I think that it shows you a way of doing that.
Good work =)
