SolarPHP How to use unlimited functions in a View Helper

Submitted by CoolGoose on

I was chatting on irc with dmytrok (kudos to him about the tip below) about the Solar View Helpers and it seems there's a very simple way of using multiple functions in a solar view helper.

As you know, for creating a Solar View Helper you create a class like:

class Vendor_View_Helper_MyTest extends Solar_View_Helper {

public function myTest()
{
// logic here
}
}

And then you can call it in your views by using $this->myTest() and all will go well.

SolarPHP User Roles and ACL Example

Submitted by webmaster on

As I promised, here's the more "advanced" tutorial regarding roles and acl in SolarPHP using the sql adapter.

I'll continue the previous tutorial, so if you didn't had chance to read it here's a link.

Now let's continue.
Here's the config required for the roles / acl

$config['Solar_Role']['adapter'] = 'Solar_Role_Adapter_Sql';
$config['Solar_Role_Adapter_Sql'] = array(
'table' => 'roles',
'handle_col' => 'username',
'role_col' => 'name',
);

SolarPHP Basic User Authentication Example

Submitted by CoolGoose on

Here's another short tutorial for solar php in which I'm going to try to explain how to achieve a simple authentication system in SolarPHP.

User Roles and ACL's will follow in another tutorial.

Let's get started:
I'm using the SQL adapter for the authentication system. I'm assuming you're already have the config file setup for connecting to the sql server.

The config file is as follows:

// Specify our authentication adapter
$config['Solar_Auth']['adapter']= 'Solar_Auth_Adapter_Sql';

// authentication adapter information

Simple SolarPHP Pagination Example

Submitted by CoolGoose on

Being new to the SolarPHP scene I was trying to grasp some concepts around it, that for the lack of knowledge seem hard to do (and lack of any written articles found with google).

Pagination is implemented in SolarPHP by using a View Helper class called Pager.
At first I was perplexed about the fact that it took as parameters, among the usual number of items, number of pages etc., also the amount of pages, a minor detail that, usually, other pagination classes calculate automatically.
