Zend Gdata Maps

Using Zend Framework checked the Gdata package and found no google maps support:

So i decided to create a Zend_Gdata_Maps subpackage, and here it is:

Download Zend_Gdata_Maps!

Installation: Just uncompress it outside The Zend Framework folder

See the Examples provided on Zend/Gdata/Maps/Examples

yeah, the examples are *practical* and *usefull* you wont find any useless gibberish on them

Run the example within your console OUTSIDE the ZF folder!

/path/to/php Zend/Gdata/Maps/Examples/example.php



Once youre used to it, use it in your project as any other library.

There's lot to be done yet! I'm sure there are a thousand of bugs.

Looking up for people who care to create a Google Maps Gdata Subpackage :)

Cheers!

Zend Framework 1.8 PDO_MYSQL

The Quickstart provided on the Zend framework page does not specify howto use PDO_MYSQL
and as you already have noticed it uses PDO_SQLITE.

However this is not the most common option for people who are going to build serious RDBM applications, so after wondering a coupple of minutes I just used this on my configuration file

application/configs/application.ini

[production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 0
phpSettings.display_errors = 0
includePaths.library = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library"
bootstrap.path = APPLICATION_PATH "/Bootstrap.php"
bootstrap.class = "Bootstrap"
resources.frontController.controllerDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/controllers"
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts"
resources.view[]=

resources.db.adapter = "PDO_MYSQL"
resources.db.params.host = "YOUR HOST GOES HERE USUALLY LOCALHOST"
resources.db.params.username = "DATABASE USERNAME DONT BE A NOOB AND USE ROOT"
resources.db.params.password = "YOUR USER'S PASSWORD"
resources.db.params.dbname = "DATABASE NAME"
resources.db.isDefaultTableAdapter = true


I gope this helps anybody out there ...

Cheers!

Cannot map the project with svn provider

So i began using eclipse ganymede seriously lately, downloaded and installed the subclipse plugin, checked out a project from our existing project repository, everything seemed to be cool, until i wanted to checkout a different project in the same server.

Apparently the subclipse plugin was using the same data of my previous repository, which as I stated, was hosted in the same server.

QUICK FIX! (it works)

I tricked eclipse by adding an alias to the host in my /etc/hosts file, simple as:

200.xxx.xxx.xxx otherproject.mycompany.com

So, when importing the project, i used this alias, and then i was prompted again with username and password for the other repository that i needed to checkout.

Tried googling for this one altough found a lot of noise and nothing concrete.

Comments?
