Description

This is a Zend Framework Skeleton, below you'll find some specs about it.

• Zend Framework
• Module structure
• ZFDebug
• TDD ready
• PHPUnit ready
• Zend_Log configured (using firebug in development)
• Zend_Translate configured (using .mo files)
• Zend_Translate configured to log the missing translations in dev environment
• Zend_Translate defaults to english
• FlashMessages plugin installed
• VersionHeader plugin installed (send the version of the app through a special header)
• DBAdapter already configured (just change the credentials on the app.ini)
• Cache Backends configurable through app.ini
• Memcache and file cache backends configured
• Automatic CSRF check in all the forms
• Autoloader configured
• Router configured to read the routes from xml files
• Different bootstrap and entry point per module
• Zend_Locale configured to detect the locale and degrades gracefully
• App configured to use three environments (dev, staging, production)
• Zend_Registry up and running
• All the handy data stored in the Registry and constants like environment, some paths (app path, root path), config object...
• View Helper to translate using the following method $this->t() instead of $this->translate() (much shorter)
• Flag and Flippers concept of flickr implemented through ACL
• Flag and Flippers configurable via BO (Still some stuff in development)

Installation

0. You have to have a memcached server and the memcache php extension installed

1. Get a copy of the files in your machine

2. Create two folders called cache and logs in the root of the project and subfolders in logs one for each module

   On *nix: mkdir -p cache logs/backoffice logs/frontend/missing_translations

3. Give read/write access to those folders

   On *nix: chmod -R 777 cache logs

4. Create the virtual hosts (one per module)

   <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin admin@example.com

    ServerName frontend.zfs.local
    DocumentRoot PATH_TO_THE_PROJECT/public/frontend
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All 
    </Directory>
    <Directory PATH_TO_THE_PROJECT/public/frontend>
        Options -Indexes
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>
    
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/frontend-error.log
    
    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    # alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn
    
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/frontend-access.log combined
   

   <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin admin@example.com

    ServerName backoffice.zfs.local
    DocumentRoot PATH_TO_THE_PROJECT/public/backoffice
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All 
    </Directory>
    <Directory PATH_TO_THE_PROJECT/public/backoffice>
        Options -Indexes
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>
    
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/backoffice-error.log
    
    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    # alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn
    
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/backoffice-access.log combined
   

5. If you are working on a local machine add the servername to your local hosts file

   On *nix: echo 'frontend.zfs.local' >> /etc/hosts
On *nix: echo 'backoffice.zfs.local' >> /etc/hosts

6. Duplicate the file application/config/environment.example.php and rename the copy to environment.php

7. Import the db scheme located at /docs/sql/db.sql

8. Create the storage directory for the ZF Tool

   zf --setup storage-directory

9. Setup the config file for ZF Tool

   zf --setup config-file

10. Modify the ~/.zf.ini file created and replace the content with the following

    basicloader.classes.0 = "Akrabat_Tool_DatabaseSchemaProvider"

That's it you can start now using the skeleton to build the next amazing app!
