Ein Layout erstellen

Wie man festgestellen kann waren die View Skripte im vorhergehenden Kapitel HTML Fragmente- und keine kompletten Seiten. Das ist so gewünscht; wir wollen das unsere Aktionen nur den Inhalt zurückgeben der für die Aktion selbst relevant ist, und nicht die Anwendung als ganzes.

Jetzt müssen wir den erstellten Inhalt zu einer kompletten HTML Seite zusammenfügen. Wir wollen auch ein konsistentes Aussehen und Feeling für die Anwendung haben. Wir wollen ein globales Sitelayout verwenden um beide Arbeiten zu ermöglichen.

Es gibt zwei Design Pattern die Zend Framework verwendet um Layouts zu implementieren: » Two Step View und » Composite View. Two Step View wird normalerweise mit dem » Transform View Pattern assoziiert; die grundsätzliche Idee besteht darin das die View der Anwendung eine Repräsentation erstellt die dann in die Master View für letzte Transformationen injiziert wird. Das Composite View Pattern arbeitet mit einer View die aus ein oder mehreren atomischen Anwendungs Views gemacht ist.

Im Zend Framework kombiniert Zend_Layout die Ideen hinter diesen Pattern. Statt dass jedes Action View Skript Site-weite Artefakte einfügen muss, können Sie sich einfach auf Ihre eigenen Beantwortungen konzentrieren.

Natürlich benötigt man trotzdem Anwendungs-spezifische Informationen im Site-weiten View Skript. Glücklicherweise bietet Zend Framework eine Anzahl von View Platzhaltern die es erlauben solche Informationen von den Action View Skripten zu bekommen.

Um mit Zend_Layout zu beginnen müssen wir als erstes die Bootstrap informieren das Sie die Layout Ressource verwenden soll. Das kann getan werden indem der Befehl zf enable layout verwendet wird:

% zf enable layout
Layouts have been enabled, and a default layout created at
application/layouts/scripts/layout.phtml
A layout entry has been added to the application config file.

Wie vom Kommando notiert wird application/configs/application.ini aktualisiert und enthält jetzt das folgende im Abschnitt production:

; application/configs/application.ini
 
; Zum Abschnitt [production] hinzufügen:
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts"

Die endgültige INI Datei sollte wie folgt aussehen:

; application/configs/application.ini
 
[production]
; PHP Einstellungen die initialisiert werden sollen
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 0
phpSettings.display_errors = 0
includePaths.library = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library"
bootstrap.path = APPLICATION_PATH "/Bootstrap.php"
bootstrap.class = "Bootstrap"
appnamespace = "Application"
resources.frontController.controllerDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/controllers"
resources.frontController.params.displayExceptions = 0
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts"
 
[staging : production]
 
[testing : production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1
phpSettings.display_errors = 1
 
[development : production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1
phpSettings.display_errors = 1

Diese Direktive sagt der Anwendung das Sie nach Layout View Skripten unter application/layouts/scripts nachschauen soll. Wenn man den Verzeichnisbaum betrachtet sieht man das dieses Verzeichnis jetzt, zusammen mit der Datei layout.phtml, erstellt wurde.

Wir wollen auch sicherstellen das wir eine XHTML DocType Deklaration für unsere Anwendung haben. Um das zu aktivieren mussen wir eine Ressource zu unserer Bootstrap hinzufügen.

Der einfachste Weg um eine Bootstrap Ressource hinzuzufügen ist es einfach eine geschützte Methode zu erstellen die mit der Phrase _init beginnt. In diesem Fall wollen wir den Doctype initialisieren, also erstellen wir eine _initDoctype() Methode in unserer Bootstrap Klasse:

// application/Bootstrap.php
 
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
    protected function _initDoctype()
    {
    }
}

In dieser Methode müssen wir der View sagen das Sie den richtigen DocType verwenden soll. Aber wo kommt das View Objekt her? Die einfachste Lösung ist die Initialisierung der View Ressource; sobald wir Sie haben können wir das View Objekt aus der Bootstrap holen und verwenden.

Um die View Ressource zu initialisieren ist die folgende Zeile in der Sektion production der Datei application/configs/application.ini hinzuzufügen:

; application/configs/application.ini
 
; Zum Abschnitt [production] hinzufügen:
resources.view[] =

Das sagt uns das die View ohne Optionen initialisiert werden soll ('[]' zeigt das der "view" Schlüssel ein Array ist, und wir Ihm nichts übergeben).

Jetzt da wir die View haben, sehen wir uns die _initDoctype() Methode an. In Ihr stellen wir zuerst sicher das die View Ressource läuft, holen das View Objekt und konfigurieren es anschließend:

// application/Bootstrap.php
 
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
    protected function _initDoctype()
    {
        $this->bootstrap('view');
        $view = $this->getResource('view');
        $view->doctype('XHTML1_STRICT');
    }
}

Jetzt da wir Zend_Layout initialisiert und den DocType gesetzt haben erstellen wir unser Site-weites Layout:

<!-- application/layouts/scripts/layout.phtml -->
 
<?php echo $this->doctype() ?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
  <title>Zend Framework Schnellstart Anwendung</title>
  <?php echo $this->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/global.css') ?>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header" style="background-color: #EEEEEE; height: 30px;">
    <div id="header-logo" style="float: left">
        <b>ZF Schnellstart Anwendung</b>
    </div>
    <div id="header-navigation" style="float: right">
        <a href="<?php echo $this->url(
            array('controller'=>'guestbook'),
            'default',
            true) ?>">Guestbook</a>
    </div>
</div>
 
<?php echo $this->layout()->content ?>
 
</body>
</html>

Wir holen den Inhalt der Anwendung indem der layout() View Helfer verwendet, und auf den "content" Schlüssel zugegriffen wird. Man kann andere Antwort Segmente darstellen wenn man das möchte, aber in den meisten Fällen ist das alles was notwendig ist.

Es ist zu beachten das wir auch den headLink() Platzhalter verwenden. Das ist ein einfacher Weg um das HTML für das <link> Element zu erstellen, sowie um es durch die Anwendung hindurch zu verfolgen. Wenn man zusätzliche CSS Blätter zur Unterstützung einer einzelnen Aktion benötigt, kann das getan werden indem man sicherstellt das Sie in der endgültig dargestellten Seite vorhanden sind.

Hinweis: Checkpoint
Jetzt gehen wir zu "http://localhost" und prüfen die Quelle. Man sieht den XHTML Header, Kopf, Titel und Body Abschnitte.

I installed the Zend Framework via Zend Server CE and found out that the "zf enable layout" command didn't work.

The problem was on the version of the Zend Framework in Zend Server CE. I've downloaded the latest release of ZF and extracted it to C:\Program Files\Zend\ZendServer\share\ZendFramework and it solved the problem

Posted by: Joao Portela on: 2010-02-14 20:02:01 ⁋

@Ondrej Nedvidek

That only happens when you click the "Guestbook" hyperlink at the top right portion of the webpage, right?

That's because the guestbook controller was not created yet, check out the next of this guide:

Thanks

A much quicker way to add doctype is to skip the Bootstrap.php file explained above, skip the resources.view[] =
line and just add this to application.ini:
resources.view.doctype = "XHTML1_STRICT"

Hi, I tried to use Zend Layout and used the "zf enable layout"

but isn't working, I got the message: "Action 'enable' is not a valid action.
So I have a look at my zf version with "zf show version" --> 1.9.6 and this is really myterios because i downloaded and installed the version 1.10.3

Can someone advice what I can do that this is working?

Thanks and regards, Wolfgang

Posted by: deeman on: 2010-05-01 21:30:15 ⁋

I was also having trouble with the : "Action 'enable' is not a valid action.

I found that I had installed xampp and it came with it's own version of Zend

Once I replaced BOTH THE "ZEND" FOLED AND THE "zf.bat,zf.php" Files it all worked fine.

Posted by: mul14 on: 2010-05-03 10:54:42 ⁋

Hi Wolfgang.

I also had the same problem.

Whether you use the Zend server in windows?

When you installed Zend server, it added the system path. Try this, at the command prompt type PATH. There are "C:\Program Files\Zend\ZendServer\share\ZendFramework\bin".

You should change the system path to the new version. Or, just replace ZF on ZendServer\share\ZendFramework with new version.

Now, try "zf show version" :D

Posted by: Puala on: 2010-05-10 17:50:45 ⁋

I can't get this to work! The page's source doesn't show the header, head, title... In fact, somehow my VirtualHost also doesn't work... So, I am using this URL instead http://quickstart.local/quickstart/public/

Any tips?

Posted by: Christy John on: 2010-05-13 05:13:56 ⁋

To all those who couldn't make 'zf' commands work (eg: zf enable layout).

The path to the Zend framework installation should be registered with the system.
Eg: In Windows a path variable should be set in the Environment Variables in the Advanced tab of System Properties in Control Panel. (eg: Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables in XP).

I'm using XAMPP. There is a small caveat in there which I'll share with my fellow XAMPP users. XAMPP has already has some logic by which all the folders inside it knows the existence of others. So If you go look inside it you can see there is already a Zend folder in the PEAR directory inside php folder. So all we need to add as a path variable is up to the php folder (eg: C:\xampp\php) and all will be well.

Check by typing "zf show version". It will print out the version of the Zend libraries inside the PEAR folder. (Whenever there is a new version of ZF is available I change the content inside this folder and everything is up to date).

Now for those who can make there virtual hosts work.
A better option is to add the following line in http.conf
include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

and add all the code given here for httpd.conf inside http-vhosts.conf (This is the preferred way since Apache 2.2)
Also somehow you will not be able to access your http://localhost/ as earlier so add an alias for localhost like localhosts.tld in etc/hosts file also. :-)

Great Zend Framework introduction, however, there are a few points that I would like to comment on. Is the doctype part of the article realy necessary at this stage? You can probably just insert the doctype in the layout.phtml file, and it always stays the same for all the website's pages. Instead I would appreciate some info on how to link seperate stylesheets and/or insert javascript files in the head of individual html pages, once the layout was created.

Posted by: pete on: 2010-06-13 16:18:39 ⁋

To get the virtual host working on MAc OS X Snow leopard, I did the following:
edit httpd.conf as shown below:

Listen 10088
Listen 80

<VirtualHost *:10088>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /usr/local/zend/apache2/htdocs
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName quickstart.local
DocumentRoot /usr/local/zend/apache2/htdocs/quickstart/public

SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"

<Directory /usr/local/zend/apache2/htdocs/quickstart/public>
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

edit hosts file (etc/hosts) as shown below:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 quickstart.local

now I have my original host at port 10088 and the quickstart project served from port 80

Solved the problems with the Zend Tools commands.

I use Windows 7
Xampp 1.7.2
Zend Framework 1.10.5

There is another zf.bat in xampp/php. Delete it and set the enviroment variable to your path/bin
My is c:\zend\bin

All commands are working now without problem...and the solution was very easy.

-- copy the files in the created project (application map, xml file etc.) to the bin
zf enable layout

Posted by: Andres Arenas on: 2010-07-27 19:38:21 ⁋

There should be remarked that you need to create the css folder under public and add global.css into that folder. A new user may get confused if you just assume that that should be known by the programmer where to place things.

hello
it very useful to me...hope a new guidelines will soon.

Posted by: Jason on: 2010-08-05 00:04:45 ⁋

For all of you on MAC OSX who are having problems with the

zf enable layout, the fix is quite simple...in fact, it's not even a fix, it's just common sense that wasn't so common when I first started...

So lets get the terminal open and create our zf alias using the zf.sh (if you're on this page you should already know how to do this)

In my case:
alias zf=/usr/local/zend/share/ZendFramework/bin/zf.sh

After this you should be able to type in "zf show version" and the version will appear.

After that, I put in "zf enable layout", but got an error (Project profile not found)

Here's what you simply need to do

use a "cd" (change directory) to that project directory (you should see an xml document in it, .zfproject.xml in my case. That's the profile it's looking for.

In my case:

cd /usr/local/zend/apache2/htdocs/quickstart

THEN go ahead with "zf enable layout"

Good luck!

I am using xampp, XP, Zend Framework 1.10.7. I struggled trying to get 'zf enable layout' to work. None of the above helped. I looked in zf.php and found the following:

******** ZF ERROR *******
In order to run the zf command, you need to ensure that Zend Framework
is inside your include_path. There are a variety of ways that you can
ensure that this zf command line tool knows where the Zend Framework
library is on your system, but not all of them can be described here.

The easiest way to get the zf command running is to allow is to give it
the include path via an environment variable ZEND_TOOL_INCLUDE_PATH or
ZEND_TOOL_INCLUDE_PATH_PREPEND with the proper include path to use,
then run the command "zf --setup". This command is designed to create
a storage location for your user, as well as create the zf.ini file
that the zf command will consult in order to run properly on your
system.

I added ZEND_TOOL_INCLUDE_PATH to my environment variables (with the value C:\zf\library in my case), restarted the command shell, ran zf --setup, and now it all works.

Hope this helps someone else who is struggling.

Posted by: nobody on: 2010-09-16 11:37:31 ⁋

it solved this problem by renameing a other "zend" package/folder in the xampp\php\PEAR folder and now zf enable layout funtions

Posted by: Robert Mason on: 2010-09-22 03:52:37 ⁋

I'm a Windows 7 user and I just started to work through this tutorial.

I had problems with zf enable layout also. So after I ran it, I created the new directory myself and I created a new empty file called:

application/layouts/scripts/layout.phtml

I followed the rest of the instructions and it is working fine. I could not get the virtual host to work (last lesson), however I just tweaked the httpd.conf file to look like this. Of course, this might bite me later, but so far it is okay. Also, I'm using port 8080 and it works nicely.

....
DocumentRoot "C:/ZendFramework-1.10.8/bin/quickstart/public"

Interestingly, if the global.css file located in /public/css/ is created, yet empty, the application will look for a controller named "css" with the action "global.css".

If the /public/css/global.css has any text in it whatsoever, there will not be any attempt made to find a controller named "css".

Posted by: Rylie on: 2010-12-01 08:20:57 ⁋

I think that if a reference to a css/global.css file is made in the code snippet, something needs to be said about it- like, where it comes from, if it is generated or if the programmer needs to write it.

When I first read the code snippet, I thought that css/global.css was generated automatically (as some kind of default style) by the zf tool at layout creation time. But then, I didn't find a global.css file anywhere, so I thought- hmm, am I suppose to create this file? If so, how come there's no mention of it?

Posted by: Timo on: 2010-12-01 11:47:11 ⁋

A simple solution for Windows XP and XAMPP!

Is is how "Nigel King on: 2010-08-11 09:48:07" wrote:

Add ZEND_TOOL_INCLUDE_PATH to your environment variables with path to the Zend-Library (eg: C:\Zend\library\)

Update your xampp Zend directory with the latest version of Zend
(eg: C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Zend\)

Check the directory to your "User Settings" and look for the folder ".zf".
In my case it doesnt exist and dont try to create it with the Windows Explorer.
It won't work.
Start the "cmd"-shell, go to C:\User settings\your_username\ .
Then type "mkdir .zf"

Next, change to your project-directory where you find the ".zfproject.xml" and type
"zf enable layout"

That's all!

Perhaps you have to enter "zf --setup" before enabling the layout.

im sorry but i think it's important for me to say this, but this might sound like spamming, it is not or maybe im doing it wrongly, if so, someone be nice and email me at equatorlounge[at]gmail[dot]com..

i had to manually type in the lines:
resources.frontController.controllerDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/controllers"
resources.frontController.params.displayExceptions = 0
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts/"

and create the folders layouts/scripts with the layout.phtml inside

i cant believe im the only one going through this cos ive googled like hell and NOT found the error i mentioned in the previous threads ive posted

to note im using xampp-32bit on windows7 64bit, but i didnt find a 64-bit version on the apachefriends site

it's quite discouraging in the end. im gonna try one last day and shift to CakePHP just like everyone else

Mateyo,

The documentation here is wrong. Instead of adding to the application.ini:

resources.view[] =

Instead add:

resources.view[] = ""

And make sure that it is in the top [production] area of the application.ini

It is also worth turning on error reporting so you can see the error (and google it like I did!):

phpSettings.display_errors = 1

Hi guys,
I also have a problem.. I followed the complete tutorial till the end of "create layout". If I want to start my project /quickstart/public I just get the HTTP error 500 screen... what shall I do?

Posted by: Balu on: 2011-07-17 12:31:34 ⁋

It should be explained, what "bootstrap resources" are. All we get to know is that they are added. But why? What kind of resources are there?

Also. People really should know that resources.view[] is an array. But why is an array required? Why can't I just use resources.view?

Also resources.view.doctype = "XHTML1_STRICT" seems a lot more logical to me than doing all that stuff in the bootstrap, which is also not explained why it is done, just that it is done this way.

Posted by: Joao on: 2011-08-08 11:38:38 ⁋

If I want to set a layout per module, how is it done?
I can't set them on the ini.
They have to be set on each module's bootstrap.
But how?

(or is there any other way that I've missed?)

when i am running the command 'zf enable layout', my project is showing a warning and a fetal error saying Fatal error:

Cannot redeclare class zend_application_resource_resource. If this code worked without the Zend Optimizer+, please set zend_optimizerplus.dups_fix=1 in your php.ini in /usr/share/php/libzend-framework-php/Zend/Application/Resource/ResourceAbstract.php on line 26

when i am removing the settings of layout from my project, it is again working fine.

I've followed the quickstart to setup my layout. However, when I browse to http://localhost I get a blank page!

The document root in httpd.conf is set to /var/www and I have a public folder therein where I copied index.php from my project directory, also stored on the server. I added the two lines to application.ini
resources.layout.layoutPath=APPLICATION_PATH"/layouts/scripts"
resources.view[]=""

Bootstap.php contains the function _initDocType as
$this->bootstrap($view);
$view=$this->getResource($view);
$view->doctype('XHTML1_STRICT');

/applicatoin/layouts/scripts/layout.phtml is pretty vanilla only referencing a stylesheet and having a <h1> tag. After the closing body tag, I have <?php echo $this->layout()->content; ?>

What further changes should I make to ensure that my layout is served when the home page is browsed?

Thanks,
Sid

I added an action to the controller and the the new action page does not point the css file to the public folder.

the new action page points the css file to:

http://mysite/pubic/index/style/main.css

instead of pointing to : http://mysite/public/style/main.css

Any idea why?

Thanks in advance

While adding view resource to application.ini you should have to assign empty string, otherwise it will through exception zf 1.10.11 like

resources.view[] = ""

Uh, the markup generated does not validate. Nowhere close. There are missing attributes and a big honking style element in the body.

Surely this is a temporary state of affairs and will be fixed later on in the tutorial. Right?

I believe that the problem people are having with the Page Not Found: Invalid Controller Specified (mine is for quickstart...), is because as yet nothing has been set in the IndexAction.

I may be wrong. But I think this tutorial is pretty poorly constructed for a "quickstart"!

Also, not sure why I'm asked to fill in "the 5 letters that you see below." on this form when actually there are two 7 letter words shown!! Dear, oh dear.

This documentation is shockingly bad. It throws a dozen settings into a config file that gets used by something and the settings get referenced by something and there definitions comply with some format, but what all those somethings are, are not explained and no reference to information on them are made.

Using this framework is like delving into a black box of trial and error 'tweaks' to the default content provided in these supposed 'help' files.

Any framework or component is essentially useless without good documentation, or examples and this documentation is an example of how to ruin a good product.

We needn't use "zf create layout".

1. Create manually directories and file: application/layouts/scripts/layout.phtml
2. Go to application.ini, add two lines into [production] area and sure again that these two lines are in [production] area:
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts"
resources.view[]=

3. copy code and paste to Bootstrap.php and layout.phtml file.

If your project worked correctly before, it will run.
