kohana-3

I've just came across this on GitHub. ($config === NULL) and $config = Kohana::config('email'); Is that the equivalent of if ($config === NULL) { $config = Kohana::config('email'); } Is this commonplace? Would I expect other developers looking at my code if I used that first way to instantly know what it was doing? Took me a second to get it, but that should actually work in just about every programming language. Because the "and" or "or" operators are lazily evaluated, if the statement on the left is false, then there's no need to evaluate the rest of the statements because the whole

Reading about Kohana templates and saw something I've never seen before: $this->template->title = __('Welcome To Acme Widgets'); What does __('Text') mean? What is it? What does it do? In Kohana (version 3) the function is defined in system/base.php and is a convenience function to aid (as the other answers have mentioned) internationalization. You provide a string (with, optionally, some placeholders to substitute values into the finished text) which is then interpreted and, if required, a translation is returned. Contrary to assumptions in other answers, this does not use gettext . A very

Inspired from the other community wikis, I'm interested in hearing about the lesser known Kohana tips, tricks and features. Please, include only one tip per answer. Add Kohana versions if necessary. This is a community wiki . Kemo Generating Form::select() options from database result Kohana 3.1 and 3.0 $options = ORM::factory('model') ->order_by('title','ASC') ->find_all() ->as_array('id','title'); $select = Form::select('name', $options); It should be noted this is not restricted to the ORM and can be used on all database results (they all support as_array). See the database results

In my application i have a loop that executes about 1000 times, inside it i'm creating object and saving it. This is the part of application where i populate my database with data. In common this looks like this: foreach(...){ ... try{ $object = new Model_Whatever; $object->whatever=$whatever; $object->save();} catch(Exception $e){ ...} } } This produces 1000 of INSERT queries. Is it possible to, in some way, made kohana produce multi inserts. Split this into 10 inserts with 100 data sets in each. Is it possible and if yes that what is the way doing so? Whilst the Kohana ORM doesn't support

I have a products model with 2 many to many relationships defined. protected $_has_many = array ( 'foodcats' => array('model' => 'foodcat', 'through' => 'products_foodcats'), 'foodgroups' => array('model' => 'foodgroup', 'through' => 'products_foodgroups') ) I need a query where I find products with a given foodcat id and a given foodgroup name. I know I can do the following to get all products with a given foodcat id $foodcat = ORM::factory('foodcat',$foodCatId); $products = $foodcat->products->find_all(); But how do I query for products in that foodcat that also are in the foodgroup 'Entrees

I am using TCPDF Library Version: 5.9.011. I am trying to execute HTML layout as PDF. For which I tried with example provide with the site $html = '<h1>HTML Example</h1> <h2>List</h2> Some special characters: < € € € & è è © > \\slash \\\\double-slash \\\\\\triple-slash '; // output the HTML content $pdf->writeHTML($html, true, false, true, false, ''); //Close and output PDF document $pdf->Output('example_006.pdf', 'I'); Apparently found that generated PDF only default header and footer with middle content blank. However if I remove special characters like: $html = '<h1>HTML Example</h1> <h2
