ok i have been playing with zend at home to increase my knowledge, and i have run across this, i think its pretty handy, and gave me much insight in zend’s 1.8 bootstrapping method. i didnt use any of the dojo stuff, mainly because i plan to use jquery for all my dynamic javascripting needs.
/**
* Bootstrap autoloader for application resources
*
* @return Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader
*/
public static $root = ”;
public static $registry;
public static $db;
public function getRoot(){
$path = $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’];
if (substr($path,strlen($path) -1,strlen($path)) == ‘/’){
$path = substr($path,0,strlen($path)-1);
}
return $path;
}
protected function _initAutoload() {
$autoloader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader ( array (‘namespace’ => ‘Default’, ‘basePath’ => dirname ( __FILE__ ) ) );
Zend_Session::setOptions(array(‘remember_me_seconds’ => 7200));
Zend_Session::start();
self::$root = $this->getRoot();
self::setConfig();
self::setRegistry();
self::setTimeZone();
self::setupDatabase();
return $autoloader;
}
//Date time setting will be done here
public static function setTimeZone()
{
date_default_timezone_set(‘Europe/London’);
}
//Configuration file reading & setting up configuration will be done using following.
public static function setConfig(){
$config = new Zend_Config_Ini(
self::$root . ‘/../application/configs/application.ini’,APPLICATION_ENV);
self::$registry->configuration = $config;
self::$db = self::$registry->configuration->resources->toArray();
}
public static function setRegistry()
{
self::$registry = new Zend_Registry(array(), ArrayObject::ARRAY_AS_PROPS);
Zend_Registry::setInstance(self::$registry);
}
/*DB setup done here.
Read configuration, create db instance & set in registry to use in other part of application.*/
public static function setupDatabase()
{
$config = self::$db;
$db = Zend_Db::factory($config["db"]["adapter"], $config["db"]["params"]);
$db->query("SET NAMES ‘utf8′");
self::$registry->database = $db;
Zend_Db_Table::setDefaultAdapter($db);
}
protected function _initView() {
// Initialize view
$view = new Zend_View ( );
//$view->doctype(‘XHTML1_STRICT’); /* Quick Change out depending on project */
$view->doctype ( ‘XHTML1_TRANSITIONAL’ ); /* Quick Change out depending on project */
$view->env = APPLICATION_ENV;
Zend_Dojo::enableView ( $view );
Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_Dojo::setUseDeclarative ();
$view->dojo ()->setLocalPath ( "/js/prod/dojo/dojo.js" )
->setDjConfigOption ( ‘usePlainJson’, true )
->setDjConfigOption ( ‘parseOnLoad’, true )
->addStylesheetModule ( ‘dijit.themes.soria’ )
->addStylesheet ( ‘/js/prod/dojox/grid/resources/soriaGrid.css’ )
->enable ();
// Add it to the ViewRenderer
$viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper ( ‘ViewRenderer’ );
$viewRenderer->setView ( $view );
// Return it, so that it can be stored by the bootstrap
return $view;
}
}
more can be read here i give credit to the guy who wrote this up originally and shared with the rest of the world.
