Akra’s DevNotes

I updated Zend_Config to close a couple of issues today:

• ZF-1417: Add get() accessor to allow default values from a config node
• ZF-1461: Deprecated method Zend_Config::toArray() still in use

Note that fixing ZF-1461 means that asArray() no longer exists and you now need to use toArray()!

I seem to just be posting about translations of my tutorial at the moment, and I've yet more news on that front!

Stig Benning has translated the Getting Started Tutorial into Danish! He asked a few days ago and then emailed me the finished translation a couple of days later. Thanks very much Stig.

Also, Daniel Messer has updated the German translation to sync it with the latest version which is great. Daniel wrote the very first translation of my tutorial way back in September, so thanks Daniel for keeping going through all the changes.

Sorry that it's been a bit quiet around here recently. It's been manic at work (more than usual!) but hopefully that's behind me for a few weeks now.

I'm sure everyone who reads this blog is probably up to date with what's happening in the PHP world, so I won't repeat it all here, as you can just wander over to Planet PHP anyway!

In the Zend Framework world, Pádraic has written an interesting set of posts about views which are worth reading, even if they seem like overkill to you! I'm on the fence myself as I've played with multiple view objects before and wasn't convinced that the additional hassle was worth it. I'm currently thinking that multiple view templates is very useful and using just one view to render them seems to work so far. I'm watching the series closely though as Pádraic always has good things to say.

Finally, saving the biggest news for last, Adler Medrado has translated my tutorial into Brazillian Portuguese! Thank you very much Adler! I've said it before, and no doubt will say it again, I'm still very humbled that people think enough of my little tutorial to translate it. You guys are amazing.
