How to use undocumented sort_by clause modified_subnode

Sat, 06 Sep 2014 17:47:31 +0000

Question

Have you ever wanted to sort a standard content fetch (say 'list') using the node object's modified_subnode field? Well .. you can!

Example

Here is a code example of how to use this undocumented sort_by clause.

{def $root_node=fetch( 'content', 'node', hash( 'node_id', $pagedata.path_array[$left_menu_depth].node_id ) )
         $left_menu_items = fetch( 'content', 'list', hash( 'parent_node_id', $root_node.node_id,
                                                                                    'sort_by', array( 'modified_subnode', false() ),
                                                                                    'load_data_map', false(),
                                                                                    'class_filter_type', 'include',
                                                                                    'class_filter_array', ezini( 'MenuContentSettings', 'LeftIdentifierList', 'menu.ini' ) ) )

Worth mentioning 'modified_subnode' is not a perfect sort order, at times it may leave somethings to be desired in terms of accuracy, but for me today on eZecosystem.org it was better that using 'modified' or 'published'!

How to add view parameter support to your custom module view

Thu, 28 Aug 2014 16:02:57 +0000

Have you ever wanted to add view parameter support to your custom module view templates?

Example Solution #1

Here is a quicker way to add view parameters. Simply add this snippet of php into your custom module view.

// Set the view parameters
$tpl->setVariable( 'view_parameters', $Params['UserParameters'] );

Place the above PHP snippet code before you include your primary module view template within $Result['content'].

/**
  * Prepare module view content results for display to user
  */
$Result['content'] = $tpl->fetch( 'design:custom-module/create.tpl' );

Example Solution #2

Here is a longer form way to view parameters. Simply add this snippet of php into your custom module view.

// Set the view parameters
$viewParameters = array();
$uri = eZURI::instance( eZSys::requestURI() );
$uriUserParameters = $uri->userParameters();
 
foreach( $uriUserParameters as $key => $param )
{
    if( $param != '' )
    {
        $viewParameters = array_merge( $viewParameters, array( $key => $param ) );
    }
}
 
if( $tpl->hasVariable( 'view_parameters' ) )
{
    $viewParameters = array_merge( $tpl->variable( 'view_parameters' ), $viewParameters );
}
 
$tpl->setVariable( 'view_parameters', $viewParameters );

Place the above PHP snippet code before you include your primary module view template within $Result['content'].

/**
  * Prepare module view content results for display to user
  */
$Result['content'] = $tpl->fetch( 'design:custom-module/create.tpl' );

How to disable features within ezoe the online editor

Mon, 25 Aug 2014 23:08:49 +0000

Question

How can I disable the table border, table class and table caption fields from displaying?

Answer

These features are built-in to eZ OE by default and must be disabled via custom settings overrides and custom template overrides within your user siteaccess.

Example #1 Disable the table caption feature

To hide the table caption field in your user siteaccess only then edit or create the file in settings/siteaccess/user-siteaccess-directory/content.ini.append.php and It should look like this:

[table]
CustomAttributes[]
CustomAttributes[]=summary
#CustomAttributes[]=caption

Save the settings override file changes and clear ini caches!

Example #2 Disable the table border and class feature

To hide the table border and class fields:

Create a template override of this file: extension/ezoe/design/standard/templates/ezoe/tag_table.tpl
Edit your template override file: extension/custom-design-extension/design/custom-user-siteacces-design/templates/ezoe/tag_table.tpl
Look for this content in the file:

{include uri="design:ezoe/generalattributes.tpl"
             tag_name  = $tag_name
            attributes = hash('width', 'htmlsize',
                                       'border', 'htmlsize',
                                       'class', $class_list
                                      )
}

Change the above content to look like this:

{include uri="design:ezoe/generalattributes.tpl"
             tag_name  = $tag_name
             attributes = hash('width', 'htmlsize')}

Save the template override file changes and clear all template caches!

Closing

And your done! These changes have been tested and work well with eZ Publish Community Project 2014.07+. You should have no problems with the example instructions provided above.

It is worth noting that if you make a template override of the above template in the user siteaccess design only then the admin siteaccess can still use these fields and retain full control and flexibility.

This also applies to the setting file change. That can be made in the user siteaccess only as well and retain admin full control.

Persistent template variables

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:37:08 +0000

About

You usually require a persistent_variable when you need to pass a value from a (module result) template context into the pagelayout template context (outside of module result context).

Checking to ensure your persistent variable name is not already in use

Remember that another extension may already use the variable name you wish to use, so it may be important to search your templates to ensure the variable name is not already used previously as this helps ensure you do not overwrite existing variables.

Background

It can take a user of eZ Publish quite some time of learning before finding out how to use the persistent_variable template variables.

This article should help even the average user quickly understand how to work with the persistent_variable within the contexts of templates and even within the context of PHP!

This documentation was inspired by another user who shared in the forum thread, "Persistent variable unveiled"

Use case

You need to pass a variable from a module result template context into a pagelayout template context.

Examples

Modifying a variable in a module result template context (TPL)

When the 'persistent_variable' is of variable type 'hash' it is simple to modify it's contents within a module result template context using the set template function and the merge operator.

{set scope=global $persistent_variable=$#persistent_variable|merge( hash( 'key', 'value' ) )}

The above template code merges into the hash a new key/value pair.

Remember it is very important to use the set parameter 'scope=global' and '$#' to access the existing value within the in global template variable scope.

Also note the quotes around the examples are not actually part of the examples in the last sentence containing 'scope=global' and '$#'.

Accessing a variable in a pagelayout template context (TPL)

Now that you are modifying the persistent variable and adding a new key/value pair you can try to use this information within the pagelayout context (cache issues aside *)

{$module_result.content_info.persistent_variable.key}

Accessing a variable in a template operator context (PHP)

If you are creating an eZ Publish template operator in PHP code you can also access and modify this persistent variable within a module result template context.

$persistent_variable = array();
 
if( $tpl->hasVariable( 'persistent_variable' ) )
{
    $persistent_variable = $tpl->variable( 'persistent_variable' );
    $persistent_variable[ 'key' ] = 'value';
    $tpl->setVariable( 'persistent_variable', $persistent_variable );
}

Accessing a variable in a pagelayout template context from module result template context (TPL)

Now that you are modifying the persistent variable and adding a new key/value pair you can try to use this information within the pagelayout context

$module_result = $tpl->variable( 'module_result' );
 
$persistent_variable = array();
 
if( isset( $module_result['content_info']['persistent_variable'] ) )
{
    $persistent_variable = $module_result['content_info']['persistent_variable'];
}

eZ Webin ezpagedata template operator

Tue, 02 Aug 2011 13:58:49 +0000

Background

In the early releases of the eZ Website Interface extension (eZ Webin), the pagelayout.tpl file was packed with calculations on which blocks to include where etc. This made quite a messy and suboptimal pagelayout.tpl.

To rectify this, eZ Systems moved a lot of this logic into a new general purpose template operator. This operator combines parameters from the view template, the ini system and the Template Look object, and returns an array of information the pagelayout.tpl template can use.

Unfortunately, they forgot to document it...

eZ Webin template operators

List of template operators included in eZ Webin:

ezpagedata( array $params ) - returns general page parameters to be used in pagelayout.tpl
ezpagedata_set( string $key, mixed $value ) - set persistent value for pagelayout, to be used in view templates
ezpagedata_append( string $key, mixed $value ) - append persistent value to array for pagelayout, to be used in view templates

The persistent_variable is originally only supported in the content view full module/view (the rationale is that the view cache takes effect only here). These template operators extends the support to other modules/views as well.

ezpagedata() template operator

Note: The parameter $params of this operator is an array that is merged with persistent_variable to produce the resulting hash. So if needed you can influence the results directly from pagelayout.tpl.

The return value is a hash that may currently contain the following elements:

persistent_variable - standard persistent variable from $module_result.content_info.persistent_variable
show_path - indicates if path should be shown
website_toolbar - indicates if website toolbar should be shown
node_id - specifies current node id
is_edit - indicates if we are in edit mode
page_root_depth - specifies the depth of the root node
page_depth - specifies the depth of the current node
root_node - specifies the node id of the root node
template_look - the template look content object
class_identifier - specifies the class identifier of the current node, same as $module_result.content_info.class_identifer
top_menu - template name for the top menu
left_menu - template name for the left menu
current_menu - identifier of the current menu
extra_menu - indicates whether extra column (right column) should be shown
extra_menu_node_id - indicates node id of node to use in extra column, default is current node
extra_menu_subitems - indicates number of sub items in extra column
extra_menu_class_list - list of classes to be used in extra column
path_array - list of nodes to be used in path
path_id_array - list of node ids to be used in path
path_normalized - normalized string of path identifiers
css_classes - string of CSS classes to be set in the <div id="page"> tag

Disclaimer: Note that there may be differences between different versions of eZ Webin. This list is based on an eZ Webin v.1.7 codebase.

Values of hash elements

The criterias for the values of the different pagedata() hash elements can be quite complex. The following is a partial list of the elements and the order in which the different values are set for each element. In this illustration line 1 is default value, line 2 takes precedence over line 1 if specified, etc.

Template look

pagedata.template_look

$persistent_variable['template_look']
Fetch first object of class identifier specified in $persistent_variable['template_look_class'] (by default it is the string 'template_look')

Current menu

pagedata.current_menu

menu.ini [SelectedMenu] CurrentMenu=<menu_name>

Top menu

pagedata.top_menu

menu.ini [SelectedMenu] TopMenu=<template_name>
$persistent_variable['top_menu']

Left column/menu

pagedata.left_menu

menu.ini [SelectedMenu] LeftMenu=<template_name>
$persistent_variable['left_menu']
$hideMenuClasses != false
menu.ini [MenuSettings] AlwaysAvailable == false && (.is_edit || 'content/versionview' || current_node_id == false || uicontext 'browse')

Note: .left_menu specify if .css_classes contains 'sidemenu' or 'nosidemenu'

Extra column/menu

pagedata.extra_menu

'extra_info'
$persistent_variable['extra_menu']
$hideMenuClasses != false

pagedata.extra_menu_node_id

current_node_id
$persistent_variable['extra_menu_node_id']

pagedata.extra_menu_class_list

array( 'infobox' )
$persistent_variable['extra_menu_class_list']
menu.ini [MenuContentSettings] ExtraIdentifierList=<class_identifier_list>

pagedata.extra_menu_subitems

0
$persistent_variable['extra_menu_subitems']
Count of number of sub items in top level of content tree, based on .extra_menu_node_id and .extra_menu_class_list?

Note: If .extra_menu_subitems is false, .extra_menu will also be set to false.
Note: .extra_menu specify if .css_classes contains 'extrainfo' or 'noextrainfo'

Adding related object programmatic

Thu, 28 Apr 2011 12:42:53 +0000

Question

How to add related object programmatically ...

Answer

To add a list of object as an object relation through CLI, this code is not perfect and may remove any existing object relations you have.

Example

Here is an example eZ Publish PHP CLI Script which shows how to use this feature.

<?php
/**
 * tmp
 *
 * @package tmp
 * @author Olav Frengstad <[email protected]>
 */
require_once 'autoload.php';
 
$cli = eZCLI::instance();
 
$script = eZScript::instance( array(
        'description' => 'test script',
        'use-modules' => true,
        'use-extensions' => true,
) );
 
$script->startup();
 
$config = $argumentConfig = '';
 
$optionHelp = $arguments = false;
$useStandardOptions = array(
        'user'          => true,
        'siteaccess'    => true,
);
$options = $script->getOptions(
        $config,
        $argumentConfig,
        $optionHelp,
        $arguments,
        $useStandardOptions
);
 
$script->initialize();
 
$user = eZUser::fetchByName('admin');
if ( !$user )
{
        $user = eZUser::currentUser();
}
 
$rel = array(153);
$object = eZContentObject::fetch( 154 );
 
$object->appendInputRelationList( $rel,eZContentObject::RELATION_LINK );
$object->commitInputRelations($object->CurrentVersion);
$object->store();
 
$script->shutdown();

To run it save the file in your ez directory (preferably put it in an extension) and call it:

$ php relation.php --siteaccess <your-siteaccess-name>

How to fetch content based on view parameter date range

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 17:48:13 +0000

Summary

This solution is template based and very simple.

It optionally relies on view parameters to provide a date range with which to limit the fetch results.

{* Example: https://example/layout/set/content_statistics.csv/(startDate)/2010-07-14/(endDate)/2010-07-19/ *}
{def $articles=false()}
 
{if and( is_set( $view_parameters.startDate ), is_set( $view_parameters.endDate ) )}
 
{def $startDate=$view_parameters.startDate|explode("-")
$endDate=$view_parameters.endDate|explode("-")}
 
{def $startDateTimestamp=maketime(0,0,0,$startDate.1,$startDate.2,$startDate.0)
$endDateTimestamp=maketime(23,59,59,$endDate.1,$endDate.2,$endDate.0)}
 
{set $articles=fetch( 'content', 'list', hash(
     'parent_node_id', 77,
     'class_filter_type', 'include',
     'class_filter_array', array( 'article' ),
     'sort_by', array( 'published', false() ),
     'attribute_filter', array( array( 'published', '>=', $startDateTimestamp ),
                                array( 'published', '<', $endDateTimestamp ) )
 ) )}
{else}
 
{set $articles=fetch( 'content', 'list', hash(
     'parent_node_id', 77,
     'class_filter_type', 'include',
     'class_filter_array', array( 'article' ),
     'sort_by', array( 'published', false() ),
     'limit', 10000
 ) )}
{/if}

Google Webmaster Tools

Thu, 08 Jul 2010 18:04:20 +0000

In order to register your eZ Publish website in Google Webmaster Tools, you need to verify you are the owner of the site. One possibility, and in case of eZ Publish the easiest, is adding an additional HTML meta header to your web pages.

You can add the verification code you get from Google Webmaster tools, In the site.ini.append.php file

either as a global override (settings/override/site.ini.append.php)
or just for specific site accesses (settings/siteaccess/[yoursiteaccessname]/site.ini.append.php)

Simple fromString and toString interface for attributes

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 18:23:15 +0000

Simple fromString and toString interface for attributes

This is a copy of only document available that describes the extremely useful toString and fromString functions of datatypes, which greatly simplify storing and retrieving attributes in php.

This is a design document, so there may be some inaccuracies but it seems to work ok into the 4.2 series. It is recommended to verify the format of not-trivial datatypes by doing toString on attribute of that type with data in it and examining output.

Source: https://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/trunk/doc/features/3.9/to_from_string_datatype_functionality.txt

To simplify writing of import export scripts we have added two functions to the ezcontentobjectattribute class. Also related functions with the same name have been added to the datype interfase and to all datatypes in standard eZ Publish distribution exept of ezenum which is now deprecated and ezpackage which is not used.

To show possibilities of these functionality two scripts have been added under bin/php/. These scripts are very simple CSV import/export scripts:
- ezcsvimport.php
- ezcsvexport.php
They are very basic and do not pretend to be fully functional CSV import/export for ezpublish though you can use them to do real import/export. Here is a description of formats which are accepted by the datatypes for
fromString( &$contentObjectAttribute, $string ), and generated by toString( $contentObjectAttribute ) methods.

ezauthor:
To separate one author from another '&' char is used, to separate parts of author data '|' is used. The system escapes '|','&','\' with the '\' char.
Example of toString result:

To make it easy to parse such kind of strings the class ezstringutils is added under lib/ezutils. It has to functions as a members.
explodeStr( $str, $delimiter = '|' ) and implodeStr( $str, $delimiter = '|' ). The first one explodes string to an array with delimiter char, the difference from PHP explode/implode is that these functions do propper escaping/unescaping of all values.

ezbinaryfile:
toString function of this datatype return string of format:
filepath|original_filename
filepath is to a file in filesystem so you can make copy of the file.
original_filename is the original filename of uploaded file as string.
To import binary file to the attribute you need to supply it with full path
to the source file, which will be copied into system.

ezboolean:
Returns and accepts 1 or 0 for true and false accordingly.

ezcountry:
Returns comma-separated list of selected countries locale strings, ex.:
rus-RU,eng-GB,nor-NO

ezdate:
Returns and accepts unix timestamp of the date.

ezdatetime:
Returns and accepts unix timestamp of the date.

ezemail:
Returns and accepts email address.

ezenum:
Not supported (deprecated)

ezfloat:
Returns and accepts float number.

ezimage:
Returns path to file containing original alias (size) of the image, so it can be copied. Accepts full path to original image you want to import, it will be copied into system.

ezinisetting:
Returns and accepts value of an inisetting.

ezinteger:
Returns and accepts integer value.

ezisbn:
Returns and accepts ISBN number as string

ezkeyword:
Returns and accepts comma separated list of keywords.

ezmatrix:
Identical to ezauthor datatype. The columns are sparated with '|' and rows are separated with '&'

ezmedia:
toString function of this datatype return string of format:
filepath|original_filename
filepath is to a file in filesystem so you can make copy of the file.
original_filename is the original filename of uploaded file as string.
To import binary file to the attribute you need to supply it with full path
to the source file, which will be copied into system.

ezmultioption:
The first '&' separated value is the name of multioption set, then each '&' separated string represents
each option in multioption set. This string it self is '|' separated value, that consist of, in this order:
_name_ of the option and the _id_ of option item which should be selected by default. After these two
values we have option_value and additional price for the option item.

ezmultiprice:
The structure of a data handled by this data type is
currency_name_1|value_1|type_of_price_1|currency_name_2|value_2|type_of_price_2|......currency_name_n|value_n|type_of_price_n|
Where currency_name is thre char currency name like EUR,USD and so on,
value is the price in this currency,
and type can be AUTO or CUSTOM dependin on if the price in this currency
has been inserted by user or calculated automaticaly.

ezobjectrelation:
Returns and accepts ID of related object.

ezobjectrelationlist:
'-' separated list of related object ID's.

ezoption:
'|' separated list of name of the option and then | sparated list of option_item|additional item price values.

ezprice:
'|' separated list of price, VAT id, and flag wether VAT is included to the price or not.

ezproductcategory:
Returns '|' separated string with product category name and category id. Accepts just category
name as a papameter.

ezrangeoption:
'|' separated string contains name of the option, start,stop and step values for the option.

ezselection:
'|' separated list of selected item names.

ezstring:
Returns and accepts the string value.

eztext:
Returns and accepts the string value of eztext field.

eztime:
String with the time of the day in HH:MM , 24h format

ezurl:
string containing the url or a url|text

ezuser:

Extended sort

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:00:35 +0000

Requirements

For taking proper advantage of this feature you should know something about:

writing an extended_attribute_filter (fetch content list)
SQL
the eZ Publish database layout

Function

There is an undocumented feature in the eZ Publish fetch content list function for sorting on arbitrary sql statements. On regular fetches this feature is not available. However, when including an extended_attribute_filter parameter in the fetch, eZ Publish allows the user to sort on any arbitrary sql clause.

Use

Add an empty 'extended_attribute_filter' parameter in the fetch like this: 'extended_attribute_filter', hash(). Then add a 'sort_by' parameter, like this: 'sort_by', $sql_statement.

The sql string in the $sql_statement variable is inserted directly in the ORDER BY sql clause. Tables included by a regular fetch content list are:

ezcontentobject_tree
ezcontentobject
ezcontentobject_name
ezcontentclass

which means that any fields within these tables can be used in the $sql_statement string. If a sort_by attribute is involved, the ezcontentobject_attribute table are also included.

Furthermore, if required one can add other tables in an extended_attribute_filter's code, giving you access to sort on any field or combination of fields in the database.

Examples

fetch( 'content', 'list', hash( 'parent_node_id', 2,
                                'sort_by', array( 'ezcontentclass.identifier ', true() ),
                                'extended_attribute_filter', hash()
    ) )

This example will sort the resulting node list by the class identifier string. Note that this will not work if the extended_attribute_filter parameter is not included.

fetch( 'content', 'list', hash( 'parent_node_id', 2,
                                'sort_by', array( ' RAND() ', true() ),
                                'extended_attribute_filter', hash()
    ) )

This example will give a randomized list of nodes. This is not possible to do without the extended sort feature.

fetch( 'content', 'list', hash( 'parent_node_id', 2,
                                'sort_by', array( array( 'cast( a0.data_text as unsigned )', true() ),
                                                  array( 'attribute', true(), 'article/select_attribute' ) ),
                                'extended_attribute_filter', hash()
    ) )

This sorts an attribute of the selection datatype in the article class by the selection id as a number (and not by selection id as a string, as is default for this datatype, which makes the sort fail on id's above 9). The second sort element tricks the fetch into including the ezcontentobject_attribute table in the sql, named as a0, but will not have any effect on the actual sorting.

fetch( 'content', 'list', hash( 'parent_node_id', 2,
                                'sort_by', array( 'obj.name ', true() ),
                                'extended_attribute_filter', hash( 'id', 'ObjectRelationSortFilter',
                                                                   'params', hash( 'relation_attribute_id', 337,
                                                                                   'related_class_attribute_id', 343 ) )
    ) )

Here is an example on how to sort the nodes by an attribute of the related objects in an object relations attribute.

This example requires an extended_attribute_filter to include the right tables, the main function of the code for this follows...see the extended_attribute_filter documentation for setting up this.

function sqlObjectRelationSort($params)
    {
        $sqlTables= ", ezcontentobject_tree AS node
                LEFT JOIN ( ezcontentobject_link AS link, ezcontentobject AS obj, ezcontentobject_attribute AS attr )
                ON ( node.contentobject_id = link.from_contentobject_id AND
                    node.contentobject_version = link.from_contentobject_version AND
                    link.contentclassattribute_id = {$params['relation_attribute_id']} AND
                    link.to_contentobject_id = obj.id AND
                    obj.id = attr.contentobject_id AND
                    obj.current_version = attr.version AND
                    attr.contentclassattribute_id = {$params['related_class_attribute_id']} )";
 
        $sqlJoins = ' ezcontentobject_tree.node_id = node.node_id AND ';
 
        return array( 'tables' => $sqlTables, 'joins'  => $sqlJoins, 'columns' => '' );
    }

As you see, this filter requires two parameters. relation_attribute_id is used to specify the attribute id of the object relation. related_class_attribute_id is used to specify the attribute id of the related object that is to be sorted on. This function requires that all nodes are of the same class, and all related objects in the specified object relation attribute are of the same class.

This can potentially be further expanded to sort on the attributes of the children of the nodes. This is left as an excercise for the reader.

Debugging

Whenever developing extended_attribute_filters or extended sorting, switch on the SQL output in the debug in settings/override/site.ini.append.php:

[DatabaseSettings]
 
SQLOutput=enabled
 
[DebugSettings]
 
DebugOutput=enabled

If you can't immediately see what is wrong, copy the complete sql statement from debug and paste it into your favourite SQL program. It is a lot easier to make the sql work there than to test it against eZ Publish.

indexing/searching pdf files with accented chars

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:53:57 +0000

eZpublish needs external tools for pdf file indexing. Path to that tool is set in binaryfile.ini

Originally i was using the pstotext too, but it does not work well and often gives garbage as output. Better tool is pdftotext from xpdf project, as suggested in this article.

In my case the above was not enough, as pdf files apparently are in iso-8859-1 but eZpublish expects UTF-8 as input.

So, the contents of ezpdftotext should be:

#!/bin/sh
pdftotext $1 -|iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8

What to do if ez publish loads a blank page or error?

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:10:16 +0000

Clear the caches using a shell command (in sites root folder):

php bin/php/ezcache.php --clear-all --purge

Check var/log/error.log and php error log for more information.

Performance Tuning eZ Publish 4

About

Recommended eZ Publish 4 Apache configuration improvements for best possible production web server performance.

Topics

Application / Web Server

Apache

The basis of Apache PHP application server configuration requires virtual host configuration be stored within Apache solely.

The htacess Problem

The basis of Apache PHP application server configuration best practices for performance is preventing the use of htaccess configuration usage as not-possible as it prevents best practices and reasonable performance.

This is because .htaccess files are check per http request, ie: per file included on webserver from browser within html page (including html page) ie many many times per requested page to set any required httpd / php application configuration variables / conditions / etc (ie: loading the web server configuration) from direct disk access each time (not cached).

This represents a tremendous systemic performance problem that can only be resolved by relocating all configuration changes to the Apache virtual host configuration file and disabling .htaccess file access completely.

Remember htacess files configuration syntax is almost always different than the same applicable syntax within an apche virtual host configuration file.

Disable htaccess

Here is an example of how to disable htacess file access using the AllowOverride None setting. This example would be added within your virtual host configuration file for your we eZ Publish installation within Apache.

<Directory /var/www/path/to/ezpublish>
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  allow from all
</Directory>

Recommended Apache Modules

mod_expire - Greatly improves performance
mod_rewrite - Greatly improves application server flexibility and provides for clean user friendly aka nice urls.

PHP

I recommend increasing the following default php.ini variables to increase default limits to prevent future performance and upload limits from being reached as the default configuration is insufficient.

memory_limit
max_input_time
upload_max_filesize
post_max_size

About

About software coding standards

General

Enforcing a software coding convention is a recommended best prance

What convention should I use?

The answer is simple. It's your choice. Your free to choose.

Yet it is strongly recommended that you follow the recommended convention.

If you are creating an ezpublish extension / site use the ezpublish conventions as they are directly applicable.

However if you are creating an zetacomponent ezcomponent itself you will want to use the zetacomponents / ezcomponents conventions as they are directly applicable.

eZ Publish

eZ publish has it's own coding standard convention. This convention has evolved over time but the documentation regarding these improved methodologies.

Please note that eZ Publish coding standards were created before the introduction of the PSR / PSR2 code conventions for PHP and should be used instead of PSR.

Zeta Components

Zeta Components also has it's own coding standard convention

How to enable large file upload support

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:31:07 +0000

This is a Stub article. Help the eZ Publish community by expanding it!

About

Web applications basically must usually be configured to support large file uploads as well as web servers.

I can't begin to remember to forget the first time I configured eZ Publish v1.x and Apache 1.x to support large file uploads.

Example

Here is an example solution

Steps

It sounds like you want to optimize your web server and php configurations together to avoid this error.

Evaluation: Which version of apache are you running?
1. Apache 1.3.x
- This sounds strikingly similar to an apache 1.3 (large file upload) configuration issue I've learned to avoid over the years. set LimitRequestBody to an int (file size in bytes) value larger than your largest file.
- I found I often needed this apache settings change along with the php settings changes to enable large file uploads with apache 1.3
- Based on the size of the file being uploaded. Consider raising the values of the post_max_size to a larger value than the file being uploaded, as well as the value of max_input_time and max_execution_time beyond the amount of time required to complete the upload of the file.
eZ 4.x, Edit ... to enable large file support withing web application.
1. Example missing. Must not be required (per say)

PHP 5.x, Edit relevant php.ini configuration values

max_execution_time = 45     ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 60 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
;max_input_nesting_level = 64 ; Maximum input variable nesting level
memory_limit = 258M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB)
 
; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 201M
 
; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = On
 
; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
;upload_tmp_dir =
 
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 201M

Overriding kernel classes within an extension

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 10:51:01 +0000

This feature is available since eZ publish 4.1.

About

The best way to override kernel classes within eZ Publish.

This article features solutions for both eZ Pubish 3 and eZ Publish 4.

Please notice that the primary solution described for eZ Publish 4 is a supported but not recommended feature.

Please use with care and caution when working with the internals of the eZ Publish Kernel.

Question

What is the best way to override default eZ Publish kernel classes?

Answers

Several solutions come to mind. The best solution in eZ Publish 4 is to override the class within an extension. Remember this should be considered kernel hacking which while allowed and even more supported than ever in eZ Publish 4 it is still causioned.

PATCHING

In the past the best way to do this was to simply patch the original file and replace it with a modified file within original kernel location.

Creating a Kernel Override Extension

This is the standard solution within eZ Publish.

Create and activate extension

See articles on creating an extension

Copy default kernel file into the extension.

Remember pathing is a relative scheme (pattern) which must be maintained within the extension directory root.

mkdir -p extension/customname/kernel/classes/; cp -va kernel/classes/ezcontentobjecttree.php extension/customname/kernel/classes/;

Configure config.php enable kernel overrides

Create if file does not exist in root of ezpublish directory. Edit config.php file and enable the following setting.

EZP_AUTOLOAD_ALLOW_KERNEL_OVERRIDE

Activating kernel override extension

Activate extension in settings
Regenerate autoload cache

Upgrading eZ Publish 3.3 to 3.9

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 10:23:08 +0000

Prerequisits

If you need to upgrade eZ, start here:
https://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/upgrading

Examine this image carefully:
https://ez.no/doc/layout/set/full/ez_publish/upgrading/images/ez_publish_releases

Requirements

Backup the database!

Steps

Then, open Notepad and list your upgrade path, with every stop. You can then copy and paste out of Notepad onto the command line.
Pay particular attention to the scripts listed on each page (for example: upgrading from 3.3-5 to 3.4).
Some of the scripts don't run (due to version conflicts), and some are optional. Read the pages in the upgrade documentation carefully - or you'll have to do it over and over.
Take your time and be patient. The commands below are an example, you'll need to substitute your database access parameters as well as the siteaccess names.

Commands will vary between different upgrade paths.

mysql -udb_ez -p db_ez < update/database/mysql/3.4/dbupdate-3.3-5-to-3.4.0.sql
 
php-cli update/common/scripts/updateremoteid.php

php-cli update/common/scripts/correctxmltextclasses.php --global

Results

I upgraded from 3.3-5 to 3.8.6 and it went fairly smoothly.

Problems

Issues I did encounter

updatetoplevel.php updated override/content.ini.append.php like so, and the system didn't run well. (I commented the changes out):

#[NodeSettings]
#RootNode=4159
#UserRootNode=4160
#MediaRootNode=4161
#SetupRootNode=4163
#DesignRootNode=4162

Results

updateiscontainer.php didn't run, and although I normally don't make changes in the database - I changed the ezcontentclass table and set the is_container flag manually.

At this time, you should be able to use the admin console.
Go to Setup > Upgrade > and check the database consistency.
Manually run any SQL through the database engine.
Clearing the cache and updating the search index are important.

About

I am using the xrowecommerce extension from xrow and the paymentgateway directebanking which is written by all2e in order of us (wirverbindenwelten).

For a special shopmodification I need to have a paymentlimitaion by productclass.

This example is using a modified xrowecommerce extension.

in the paymentgateway event php I add the following to the execute function

$productPayment = $order->attribute( 'product_items' );

Also add the variable $productPayment to template through $process->Template['templateVars']

$process->Template['templateVars'] = array( 
  'event' => $event, 'product_gateway_limitation' => $productPayment

Sharing eZ Publish related source snippets and examples using GitHub Gists

It's a recommended best practice to stop using traditional pastebin web site services to share source code files and snippets as this delivers overall poor features long term. Instead it is strongly recommended to use GitHub Gists to share almost any text based content via a web browser in seconds, it makes sharing source code examples more simple and more useful to the other party recieving and using these shared source code examples.

Git usage with eZ Publish

Use of Subversion for your eZ Publish projects is now deprecated.

The business and community projects for eZ Publish are all (slowly) migrating to using Git for version control.

We strongly recommend you replacing your Subversion usage with Git today.

eZ Systems now distributes the eZ Publish source code with Git repositories hosted on GitHub.com

eZ Systems also now distributes most of the currently supported eZ Publish Extension(s) source code with Git repositories hosted on GitHub.com

The eZ Community and eZ Ecosystem world wide is progressively migrating their own use of version control in their own development projects to Git (and many also to GitHub). projects.ez.no has been modified to support projects which use GitHub to host their project extension source code.

eZ Systems Extensions for eZ Publish

The currently supported extensions from eZ Systems are almost all hosted now on GitHub directly at
